The truth is 

I can hold a dying woman's hand

when no one else seems able.

 

The truth is, 

I understand what the man who's lost his mind 

is trying to say.  

 

The truth is 

I don't know what to say 

when someone tells me with the coupon 

plus the store discount

they saved this much 

and then that much again.

 

The truth is 

people that I love demanded that I lie, 

then punished me for lying. 

 

The truth is

I have punished people that I love 

for not demanding that I lie.  

 

The truth is, 

nothing in me 

wants to forgive these people .

 

The truth is

justice ought to be a cause 

that matters.

 

The truth is,

people are not a cause.

 

The truth is 

forgiveness is a choice

 

The truth is 

I only hold the hands 

of dying women

 

The truth is, 

I only understand the men 

who've lost their minds
