Truth Hurts
Truth hurts the pride
Truth hurts the ego
At times truth hurts the reflection of ourselves in the mirror
Truth hurts the innocent
Truth hurts the weary
Truth hurts the conscious, so it's buried in the query
Truth hurts the weak- so they recite lies when they speak
Truth is light- it could never go bleak
Truth hurts the agendas of those we do not see
That's why truth is distorted- then fed to you and me
Truth is the difference between knowing and belief
Truth is pertinent
So truth is all I seek
Truth hurts the ego
At times truth hurts the reflection of ourselves in the mirror
Truth hurts the innocent
Truth hurts the weary
Truth hurts the conscious, so it's buried in the query
Truth hurts the weak- so they recite lies when they speak
Truth is light- it could never go bleak
Truth hurts the agendas of those we do not see
That's why truth is distorted- then fed to you and me
Truth is the difference between knowing and belief
Truth is pertinent
So truth is all I seek

Really really like it. Quite simplistic but definitely draws you in. Well done!

So long as truth hurts pride and ego, it's worth cultivating in the heart and mind! Truth sets us free...
Nice ink Love!

the truth can definitely sting, which i was so many try to remain ignorant to it
your a bold soul to seek it...brilliantly said so much with few words ...masterful
