I KNOW MY TRUTH

Oh, of myself and the truth
All the promises I make
Then do not keep
I forsake myself
No one else knows
Or has the power
To set me straight on the path
 
Isn’t that the truth?
Only one person can do it
And that person is me
A coward
Standing tall with proclamation
Then stumbling and falling
But never calling for help
 
Oh, I know the truth
Especially my own
Know what it will take
Have been here before
Now, again, I’ll take a stand
Outline what I already know
Put myself in the position of go
 
Falling snow has its truth
Sometimes wild and crude
Then thaw followed by freeze
Roads icy, bouncy; absence of ease
It tells us its wintertime
Nothing for sure will be fine
We will be stuck on the incline
 
I know my own truth
I have been uncouth
Lying to myself with ease
Blaming whatever including
The frosty winter breeze
Pacifying myself with avariciousness
Now vowing to remove this mess
