Naked Truth

Unrefined words,

Sharp edges,

Stabbing into the soul,

Burying like venom headed for the heart.

--

Burning and enflaming,

Itching like stinging nettles,

Yet every scrape of nails,

Festers every word.

--

Cloaked is the madness,

Disguised as helpful honesty,

Selfishness reveals you,

As bitter words uncovered your soul.

--

The lie of helpful truth,

Naked of modest love,

Exposes the vengeful pride,

And shows a coward's heart.
