Truth

Nobody said it was easy

But no, nobody knows the reality

We built these walls with our lies

As they spin, get spun, they become our ally

You ask, "Who's the bad guy?"

Your reflection starts to cry

You say, "This is my life"

So don't say you're a friend

When you think it's just a trend

Your lack of respect shines through

Oh baby-boo

Unclip my wings,

Feel the joy that stings,

For the truth will set us free

*Inspired by a few quotes I came across while doing my leadership essay on authenticity (ha!):

“Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.” – Albert Einstein

"In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell

"Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty." - Stephen King
