The truth

The truth is valid
It is eternal
Whatever comes in between
Shall somehow be removed

Truth might hurt
Yet it dissolves the fear of being caught again
Life gives a chance
Why not be true to oneself and be at peace

A bundle of lies
A tale of cheats
Why be a person full of shame
When you can be truthful and gain respect

The wise speak less
When they do, it is the truth

entry for Announcing the Steemit School Poetry 100 Day Challenge! (Total Prize Fund 2000 SBD)

I write poems to express myself. I started writing at the age of twelve or so and some of my poems were published in magazines for children, a time when print still ruled the world. The internet and the blogging world has helped me write poems. Most of it was as I wrote earlier, to express myself and my thoughts. I have also been a ghostwriter.
Steemit has helped me write with freedom and also earned me very good friends who encourage me to write. I hope my readers will support me and also join in this contest. I am not a student of literature and so I do not consider myself an expert in poetry. It is the judge who will decide.
