Truth

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. - Thoreau

I don't have to hide.

I'm in your face everywhere you go.

I know everything you know.

I'm the key to your locked door.

The lie you swore.

Your light switch.

Sin's berzerk, bellicose b***h ...

Author's Note

"It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear." - Thoreau

I like this a lot.
I think, however, that I might have a different perspective on this poem..
I think it could also be about the potential of human beings..
both for good and evil.
