I told a Lie
mayhaps a while a go.
Too much time for it
to fester and grow
Today the Lie
hatched from its egg
and from its hideous form
it raised an ugly horned head
It then bellowed
and screamed
until it was noticed
its content more dire
than first it seemed.
Denial would be hopeless
It latched onto my back
and called bloody murder
its insidious attack
embedding guilt further
Its crying grew louder
its bulk grew more dense
until, tears rolling, I stated
‘I drop this pretence’
Startled the beast fell
off of my back
a shocked look on its face
as its carapace began to crack
I watched stunned
as the horror shed its form
and something beautiful emerged
as the Truth it was reborn.
