The Truth Poem by Katherine Coolage

They say they say
that the truth shall set you free
but I know the truth
and it chains me
so I can no longer fly.


I used to have wings I
would use to fly in dreams
Pretty fantasy!
Nice fantasy!
Mild and warm and shiny.

I miss my wings,
fluffy before I cut them.
I thought I was
growing them out a bit
but no I
sawed them off
splinter in bits
just for truth

Barren reality
realm of mad and wild
and I cant go back
now I've seen truth
and the truth chains me.

Yes they say they say
The truth shall set you free.
Oh how they lie,
