Josh's Poem
the truth and it's lies
 they're what we despise
 we hate them yet love them
 we always look in their eyes
 they sooth us with words
 and create feelings absurd
 why are the lies the ones we hold dear
 yet we hear the truth but don't dare go near
 are we afraid to face reality
 we so easily stop to insanity
 when we're hurt we face gravity
 and those truth and lies become reality
 one person hurt while another one laughs
 a third person cries
 and the victim nearly dies
 years later when your strong
 you try to carry on
 you push through the crime and feel outside shine
 however on the inside in truth you feel shame
 he hurt you
 he left
 hid on of sight
 he didn't come back to you
 he broke your precious light
 in essence he gave you a gift 
 one you may not see
 but he made you stronger
 enough to face reality
 see lies are like cowards
 first to hit and cold at the heart
 but you are the sun
 what enters
 as torn
 apart
 
 love and hate
 truth and lies
 in learning both
 the heart solely cries
