poem ~ seek the truth

The reason I seek truth
is I want to know what it is.

The reason I seek truth
is because that's where freedom is.

The reason I seek truth
is chasing anything else dead ends.

The reason I seek truth
is the opposite builds walls.

The reason I seek truth
is because counterfeit looks real.

The reason I seek truth 
is because that's where the opposite is.

The reason I seek truth
is it feeds and grows me.

The reason I seek truth
is so that I can have faith, hope, and love.

The reason I seek truth
is because I know the benefits are great.

The reason I seek truth 
is the ripple effect it creates.

The reason I seek truth 
is it heals all mistakes.

The reason I seek truth 
is it lives inside of me.

The reason I seek truth 
is because I am told I can.

The reason I seek truth 
is because my heart longs for it.

The reasons I seek truth
is I don't want to live a lie.
