Truth
August 28, 2013
Darkness surrounded me.
It showed no sign,
Of my release.
I had no clue
Where I could be.
Or who this voice belonged to.
The voice claimed,
To be the truth.
When it was silenced,
I was no longer blinded.
And I could see
What it claimed as truth,
Were nothing but lies.

Yeah, I really worked on using vagueness to keep it easily relatable w/o it being overly vague. Thanks for the comments!

I really like this! It reads as somewhat of a confession, but it's definitely not one of those poems that only applies to the reader. You're style flows quite naturally, and it seems well put together overall. Great work!

This poem has a very deep meaning. I could tell right when I read the first line. Great job!

This is really interesting! I had to read it twice to make sure I understood it because it felt like there was a deeper meaning behind your words. I really like how you personalized truth and lies. It was really great! Nice Job!

Thanks! I'm very proud of this poem after some editing I've done to make it a little more prefer. Thank you!
