I know the truth I came to this strange land Only weeks ago Seeking it Someone told me they had changed Had seen the light The new Rising from the ashes of the old Trust, I was told What is past is past, I was told Bet your future on it, I was told Yet the very presence of this person In this place Like a "reformed" alcoholic Seen lounging in a bar I wanted facts I was welcomed by some Snubbed by many Apparently facts are not something Welcomed in this realm But I found them all the same Not all of them, for sure But enough Enough to say I know the truth There are those that helped me Some helped me by shouting across the room at me Some by quietly whispering in my ear Most sat in tight lipped silence Never daring to admit to what they knew But I know what they know All the same I know the truth I no longer need to dwell In this little itty bitty world Dominated mostly by itty bitty minded people As they bury the reality of their itty bitty lives In their over inflated opinions of themselves As they sit in judgement of others Who strive to be as they are I am dismissed now I may leave Because I know the truth I fling the doors open My life My future All lie before me Bathed in light and promise I have a better understanding of who my friends are I have a better understanding of who my enemies are For I know the truth And because of that I am the one....who truly is.....
