To tell yourself the truth
To tell yourself a truth. The truth is we are children who become teens are then adults and then fall down as we get old. We tell ourselves as children we are heros that take on giants with paper swords. As adults we fall in love and still take on giants because our love is danger. Did we grow up or did we delude ourselves into think we grew up? Truth is eyes the beholder. But what if the beholder keeps his eyes shut to the world? The truth we tell ourselves. What is real and what was the lie we tell.
