What is your truth
...
I remember being asked this question in high school English class
I rememer saying my truth honestly is that I don't really understand this question.. 
I am revisiting this question years later after struggling, hiding soul searching and looking for guidance from within and this is what I came up with:

My truth is that I hid from who I am, who I want to be 
I don't always do or say the right things, and it leads to confusion it lead me astray and off my path whATEVER IT WAS. WHATEVER IT COULD BE.

Everyone runs from the truth which is the scary part because the truth is us all. 
We are truth we are answers so why do we run from ourselves?
I dont know who I am leads to me not knowing myself my truth and worth

I know there is truth in this
I want peace
I want love
I want clarity
i want happiness
I need (some) calm
I don't like boredom and I stray from responsibility which leads me away from possibility within myself and my goals
I am worthy 
i am kind 
i am well now 

but I wanted the easy way too 
and things aren't always going to be easy so I have to keep going for my eminent survival depends on it 

They are in some high-end place and they're talking like idiots but truth is realness and different and open and refreshing and people love it.

We can spend our whole lives searching and never find what we are looking for, maybe we shouldn't analyse things too deeply and be comfortable with who we are...well written poem.
