How to Love

Always tell your truth

Even when you fear it

You are most likely scared

Because

You know your truth

Can only do one thing-

Bring more truth

And we just don’t want

That sometimes

We would rather pretend

To be okay

When really,

We are

NOT

We would rather keep it

Safe

When really

Hiding our truth

Puts us in more danger

We would rather not complicate things

When really

The truth is much simpler

Than reasonings

The excuses

The lies

You have conjured

If I have learned anything

About how to love

It is to

Always

Tell

Live

And be

Your truth
