#‎Day2_Honesty‬

He is surrounded by all these friends
They like him for he is of good company
Maybe he is welcoming
Or maybe it is the endless tales
That he keeps regurgitating every so often
All the attention, the warmth!
But does this really bring him fulfillment?
Whenever he recounts the tales by himself,
He knows only too well that none of it is true!
His inner being wants to end this streak of misery
But to let go of the attention feels even worse.
So he resorts to keep his company
But give tales that lean towards his reality
The friends keep coming though they do not stay as long as they used to
Fewer friends come by and without knowing he is left alone!
Where did they go?
They sought refuge at the other friend who always wanted the position he held!
He had tales not so interesting but just enough to keep a group on their seats

Is it that nobody wants to be told the truth?
Are you afraid of being alone in truth?
So the young man and his newfound solitude discovers a place of peace
He then calls this place Honesty
For here he could tell himself, and his few new friends
Tales that bind.
