The Truth

The Truth

A Poem by Shygirl

Everywhere you look, there is always a search for it.
Everyone of every age seeks to find it.
We all know he destruction it brings,
the agonizing collateral damage that follows,
and yet, we carry on, looking under rocks and stones.
The journey is painful, filled with horrors beyond imagination.
We all know our destination is worse than the trek,
but feel that he experience will better ourselves,
that we are missing this one thing,
so we carry on.

Then, when we arrive, we are shocked at 
the monster before us. We see the 
beast rear its ugly head and
then we are forever jaded.
We try to look past the hideous creature, like
when we were on our journey, but
it is too late, we know. The image
is forever seared in our minds. The Truth
is released. Why did we succumb to the same curiosity 
as Pandora when she unleashed the world's horrors?

We then, after the bloodshed and pain, start to move on.
We start to rebuild, ready to go on the next Crusade 
towards the Truth, the Holy Grail which is supposed to complete us.
We hide the scars, sling the burden on our backs,
we go into the desert, follow the caravan.
We carry on.
