What to choose

By angel of darkness

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Torn between two very precious ideas, On one hand the is the truth and friendship, And the other is my friend’s blind image of me. Which to chose, Do I hurt my friends and be honest? Or do I lie and let them think of me as they wish? My friends mean the world to me, But I was raised to be honest, Who do I hurt? What do I betray? What to do? But then in a moment of weakness it comes to you, “Honesty is the best policy.” Or “To thy own self to be true” So I must tell the truth, And risk losing all my friends, So to be able to live with myself, Besides it would be better, For my friends to know the truth. They deserve to know the truth, And I should be the one to tell them, Though it will kill me, To let people… Into my life. Even if they are my best friends, But it needs to be done, And by me Written February 13th, 2002 © on Feb 13 2002 10:12 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
