If you withhold the truth (good or bad), you’re not doing them any favors. -Hurricane 

Sometimes what may seem as the hardest thing to do in this world is “telling the truth.” Such a simple task can cause pure Fear . Eventhough you think the truth may hurt someone’s feeling , don’t be scared or consider yourself the ultimate authority on how they will respond. Usually in any given dramatic situation, my rule of thumb is the longer you take to reveal the truth- the longer the road to recovery grows for the recipient.. 

At this point, I expect some people to confess that it’s easier said than done. Well, I would ask you one question - how would you want to be treated? Would you want your closest friends and family lying and sneaking behind your back to keep some hidden facts from you? Isn’t it withholding the truth, the same as deception. Perhaps, its deception of another’s heart.

Truth Hurts

When the truth hurts about the time

To say goodbye

simple

Reasons make things so complicated

for a diamond lost

in splinters crushed

a thousand times

So that’s why I didn’t

Hear what you say

These bloodshot eyes

Rained memories on a black and white photo

Next to my shadow steps

Talking about the good things

Blind men endure and

We closed doors on.

Never regret the bad intentions

Slicing crying hearts to

Disasters more pleasurable

Than a sexy Monday.

Hellos behave sensible under

Fluorescent lights decending to a cringing collection of

Psychic meetings in the bathroom;

Conference room of self apologizing

Mirrors made to protect

A fragile dignity

Faced to the face bowl

with what fate

Mixes a confused mind

In private

I heard a story from a friend that’s much too common in the dating world. She mentioned that a gentleman showed interests in her but she was not attracted to him. She gave him signs or hints that she was not interested. He ignored all the hints, but she didn’t take the next step. Tell him the truth! (Tell him verbally how she felt) It seems easy right, but she ignored his calls and hoped he would get the drift because she wanted to spare his feelings. She waited for months before spilling the beans.

Apparently, woman and men alike think people interested in them have special powers and mind reading abilities.
 

Face the truth
In the face of truth
principles rain purple foresight
while eyes shut daily
and open unaware
Allocated on underlying
risks masked in the trillions of sweets,
wasted in the clear lights
of an unjustified
claim
In the face of true
Lies, open mouths peel a fresh
slate of denials when
the lightening strikes
twice
Compared to the face of a thief
caught in the act and the
plan painted in plans
built with care and
covered in reality
