something to count on

in order to find out the what it is to be true, we must find out why people lie. a lie can be spoken for protection, or for sheer desire to hurt someone. someone close, or someone you hardly know at all. that lie can reach inside and twist you till every last bit of  you is wrapped in a coat of false information. or it can gently float past you, acting as a form of breathing device allowing you to be happier then you ever imagined. but we have to understand that lies don't get us anywhere. if anything they dig us deeper into a hole of confusion, and desperation. they take us to places that shouldn't have been visited and keep us lost there 'till we realize that we should have believed in the truth. you see telling the truth isn't easy. nothing that pure ever is. but we have to believe it. believe in it with every bone in your body, because no matter what the truth is; bitter or sweet. it is fact, and it will be there forever, haunting you, making sure you know it's always there.
