She told me she cared, <br />I knew she lied, <br />She told them she cared, <br />They knew she lied, <br />She said she wanted me to be the best, <br />I knew she lied, <br />She said to them she wanted me to be the best, <br />They knew she lied, <br />She whispered she loved me, <br />I knew she lied, <br />She whispered to them she loved me, <br />They knew she lied, <br /> <br />She pretended everything when I was there, <br />She pretended to love me, <br />She pretended to care, <br />She said she wanted me to be happy, <br /> <br />We all knew the truth was not what she speak, <br />We all knew the truth was just about to leak, <br />We all knew the truth would come out, <br />We all knew the truth, with no doubt, <br /> <br />She was just like the people surrounding, <br />Pretending, acting, lying, <br />So the truth is what I spoke when I spoke to her, <br />I told her the truth is true, the truth is fair, <br />I told her... <br /> <br />If it's a lie, don't say another word, <br />However, speak the truth, and you'll be heard, <br /> <br />To lie to someone who truly loves you for you, <br />Is one of the most cruel things you can ever do, <br /> <br />To let them believe what you say to them is true, <br />When really all your thinking about is you, you and you.<br /><br />Jodie Louise Pollock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/speak-the-truth-and-you-ll-be-heard/
