Honesty

Honesty can be a cool breeze, or the blade of a knife cutting into your skin.

It can lift you up or it can pull you down.

Honesty is usually meant in the best of intentions.

But sometimes it still hurts.

Yet, I still yearn for the honest truth.

I don't want pretty lies, I want to the hard truth.

I want people to say what I did wrong and what I did right.

Because honesty helps me improve.

It pushes me to be better at things, and honestly, to better myself.

So don't lie just to make me feel better.

Tell me the truth, no matter how much it might hurt.
