I never know what to say or do. All I want is to tell the truth. But, the truth can't always set you free. So I find myself lying, and that's no way to be. Lying then will get you knowhere in the end. So I turn back to the truth, extending my hand. It's a never ending cycle, that you have no control. So I hold my head high, and quick looking so low. I wish things were simple. I wish things were sweet. But, like a great philospher said, "Life is not always what you want it to be."
Reason for writing:
The reason is that I have no control sometimes over my life and it makes me upset. You lie and it will get you knowhere in the end. If you tell the truth, and you don't get the outcome, you find yourself lying. I wrote this after I had two glasses of wine the day after my I went out with my ex-girlfriend. So read this and then read Reaffirmed Beginnings. Email me if you have any respones. jpbrett@collegeclub.com. I love to her input.
