The Truth is,
Or was,
Or has,
And will be,
Because it has to be,
Because I will it so,
Because if not,
Where will I be?

The Truth is,
Because you have to know,
Because you're obsessed,
Because I promised to tell it,
Because I,
Because I believe it.

The Truth is,
Because I'm so scared.
Because YOU have to know.
Because I'm shaking,
Fingers twitching,
Heart stuttering,

The Truth is,
Because I can't breathe,
Because if I say it,
Surely all of me will be exposed.

The Truth is,
I don't know if you can handle it,
My profound truth.

The Truth is,
Goddess.

The Truth is,
It is obscene,
And life changing,
And heart stoppingly,
Mindshatteringly, gruesomely cruel.

The Truth is,
I have such a fear of being here,
On this platform,
Stage,
Designated area.
I fear I may simply pass out.

The Truth is,
I must prove I am able.
The Truth is that I am able.
And I will continue to be.
