What Is Truth?

Written in 7th grade?

What is truth,
but what we think is true? 

Nothing can be proven
because contradiction rules our lives.

Like a Sophist,
I believe in no wrong or right.

But if there's no right,
how do I know my theory is true? 

Are we wasting our time,
trying to find the world's secrets? 

Are we searching too far?
Some things just should be left alone. 

Life is a theory;
can it be proven that it isn't a dream? 

And is there a reason for everything?
What is life but our own thoughts and perceptions? 

What is death
but life again? 

Is everything I'm saying untrue?
I hope I'm not confusing you. 

Give it some thought,
don't push this away, 

because if you do, like the wind,
it will all be gone. 

So give it some thought
before you say,

everything I say is untrue.
