Truth Be Told

February 22, 2013
By Anonymous

I knew it was wrong
people aren't this way
I'm a bad guy
As a matter of fact I'm the worst
Did it hit me when I told you?
Or maybe when you cried?
Or maybe I knew all along
but had no sense to try...
I know I'm wrong
I'm wrong all of the time
The best mistake was you
tho' your happiness was blind
My worst mistake
as you can see
is quite the opposite
Not trying
Not feeling
Not caring
Not the slightest hope
Just alone in my world
Dying on the inside
The truth is told
Not through words or rhymes
but through watery eyes
Truth be told you knew
It was always, always
To good to be true.

I'm Brandon, I know it's anonymous but this is literally the first poem I've ever written... I just wanted to see if maybe this was ok or not, please say whatever you want, bad or good is welcome. No need to be nice, nothing gets done then.

If you were smart, you'd be able to figure out who I am just by looking at the screen name
