We Don’t Like The Truth

I know sometimes we don’t like the truth.
We don’t want to hear it, especially from ourselves.
We would rather listen to the lies we tell ourselves inside our heads.
The words that remind us that we’re not good enough, not ready yet, not quite, almost, too much, too soon.

But we know the truth.
We may not want to face it, but we know it.
The truth will do more than set us free.
The truth will turn us around, upside down, inside out, make us stand on our heads, stand on our toes, reach for the stars, dig down deep, make us be.

No, we don’t like the truth, but we know it.
