A New Truth
There are a few people
I know won’t lie to me
I know this
I don’t have to
Fake it til I make it
I don’t have to question
If it’s real
I don’t have to wonder
If my decision making
Is sound
I can trust this
Pretty huge for a girl
Who can’t trust much
For the first time in a long time
Maybe, for the first time ever
I have people who are real
In my corner
Who have my back
And the lies I’ve been told
That I’ve taught myself to believe
Don’t exist
I know won’t lie to me
I know this
I don’t have to
Fake it til I make it
I don’t have to question
If it’s real
I don’t have to wonder
If my decision making
Is sound
I can trust this
Pretty huge for a girl
Who can’t trust much
For the first time in a long time
Maybe, for the first time ever
I have people who are real
In my corner
Who have my back
And the lies I’ve been told
That I’ve taught myself to believe
Don’t exist

Those last 2 lines are such Truth. More often than not, once our trust has been betrayed, we convince ourselves of some pretty damaging things. Recognizing that is huge, girl
