In A Truth Of Reflection

-In A Truth Of Reflection-
by Keaton Foster


Do not
Lie to me
Stop lying
To yourself
Do not
Lie to anyone
About anything
Under any circumstance
Because of any doubt
In a truth of reflection
See what’s missing
Understand
What is lacking
Allow your soul
To be healed
Pledge truth
Even if
You must admit
Every damn lie
Clean your slate
Leave nothing
As a weight
Be free
Whatever it’ll mean
God will forgive
But only if
Such forgiveness
Is complete
Absolute
There can be
Nothing less
Nor should
There be
In a truth of reflection
See what’s missing
Understand
That it can be found
If it was never yours
It now can be
All things are possible
Through redemption
Your ability to love
Your ability to care
All that you should feel
Will again be there
In your chest
In your very bones
Just let what you’ve done
Go
Throw it into the void
Leaving nothing
To drag you down
Seek a higher office
Find a greater purpose
Stand in God’s house
Let the walls of his home
Envelope your soul
Become one of his own
In a truth of reflection
See all that you
Are without question
Capable of
Do not
Lie to me
Stop lying
To yourself
Do not
Lie to anyone
About anything
Under any circumstance
Because of any doubt
Never again tell a tale
Of who you are
Be truthful about it all
Leave nothing out
Let no falsehood stand
Make them all see
And feel who you are
And when you do
They will come to believe
Just as you will…
