Life sentence

My whole life has been a lie,
It's time to die or tell the truth.

I don't mean confessing to a booth,
and no, these depressions won't be
suppressed by confiding in my roots.

I've decided, either no more hiding
and it's time to try to live the truth.

Or I'm finding and climbing the highest roof,
Guzzling 80 proof
and gliding down as lying proof,
that freedom only lives within the truth.
