When honesty requires a painful sting

And truth is hard to bear, but must be heard

The poet’s pen can be a powerful thing

To speak the words that cannot be deferred.

For though the truth may wound and cause some strife

It’s better than the comfort of a lie

And in the end it leads to a better life

With clarity that cannot be denied.

So let us not shy away from hard truths

But face them head on with courage and grace

And with our words, let’s offer honest proof

That truth can be a gift, not just a face.

And though it may be hard to speak what’s true

The poet’s pen can help us see it through

Difficult times telling those

Hard Truths

Blessings and Love!
