lies reap no resolution

grief
when our children lie
as it represents an inability
to acknowledge reality
to accept consequences

and
I understand
we've all told our lies
at one point or another
for whatever the reason

but
I've also known
individuals who have lied
so much
that they lose sight
of reality

child
I don't want that for you

if you say it, own it like a man
if you do it, own it like a man

we all know
the truth rarely
smells of roses
so
it's safe for you
to come out

we will
love you
still
