I Am

I am honest and truthful
I wonder if anyone else is truthful too
I hear many whispers and lies
I see sad, untrusted people
I want happy smiles again
I am honest and truthful
I pretend like lies don’t bother me
I feel bad for others
I touch people’s hearts
I worry about lies destroying lives
I cry if lies ruin my friendships with others
I am honest and truthful
I understand how lies can really hurt inside
I say truth makes a friendship stronger
I dream the world would be a trusting place
I try to not lie
I hope to never hurt anyone
