Fighting the truth
The Secrets We Keep by Jennifer Keeley
No Rules Poetry Contest contest entry

Cannot sleep, still wide awake
Times relived with each mistake.

The mind is paralyzed by guilt
A foundation of lies was built.

No power to change,
Nor ability to rearrange.

Questioning strength but leaning toward doubt,
Appearing real is what this is about.

Fitting in and following the crowd,
Didn't do much to make me proud.

The truth will find and track you down,
Avoiding is just a temporary runaround.

A hidden flaw has the power to exist.
Acknowledgement of temptation is what we resist.
