poem ~ the truth will set you free

The truth will set you free
In spite of all the pain in you,
But in order to remove all the bad
You’ve got to detach from what you had.

The truth will set you free
But the process can be painful too,
To embrace something new
Means a part of you was untrue.

The truth will set you free
As you gasp the light in front of you,
No matter how dark it gets
You can choose to not be scared of it.

The truth will set you free
When you let go of what you think you believe,
And choose to open up your heart
To a perspective beyond just a little part.

The truth will set you free
And give you hope that's mightily,
As you embrace life intentionally 
You’ll see the art in living with liberty.

The truth will set you free
But it takes purpose to let it be,
In how it guides you there
When everything feels like a dare.

The truth will set you free
Even when others try to keep you there,
Just let the noise go silent for a few
Letting the light illuminate the answer in you.
