Truth

by Harshita Das aged 11

Sometimes the truth can be hard
Hard to consume
Hard to digest
Hard to move on from
But it is the truth
Conceal it
And you only delay the pain
Conceal it
And you only feel guilty
Conceal it
And you have to tell a thousand more lies
And yet despite this
Sometimes it is necessary
Crucial
To make sure the person does not run away
From the bitter truth
Sometimes it’s better to lock it away
