My name is Truth, I state facts
I don’t babysit emotions
Because I believe that is (a) preschool work
I’m always aggressive and I believe I am perfect
When I call order, People must follow and obey
who am I, I am truth, But…..
I have weaknesses
I’m afraid to fail, to feel the pain
I am a rock
I don’t want to be embarrassed
I hide my true self behind my character
I want respect, Do I have it?
I want to be treated fairly, Am I doing it?
I am intolerant, always grumpy and impossible
I lack pillars
But I want to be a good character
But I was not lost
I met a gentleman named Grace
And I became fond of him
I met him at CrossRoads
He had a good heart and understanding
Our love became serious
My behaviour changed because I was balanced
With a man full of Grace
We got married
He taught me how to balance my Truth with his Grace
He said all I needed was time
TRUTH, GRACE and TIME
I became a good solid structure
