Truth Averted



I cannot believe the pain you have caused
the havoc you have wreaked
nor the destruction i have witnessed...
All born from lies and the truth perverted
turned the day into night
the truth averted.
But one day the truth will shine through your clouds
light up the ground far below
your lies will be laid open for all to bare witness
and you will pay for the pain you have sewn.
I gave you sanctuary when others would not
your own mother refused you a home...
she claimed that your child conceived in a foriegn land
"was something that she never wanted as her own"!
Yet her lies you all believe in and add in your own
shame is something you never feel?
I am the "Villain" and must pay the price
for a past that I know is not real.
You have created an image that does not exist
tried to convince the world it is true
but the people that know me know what is real
and eventually your son will know too!

For my daughter Jessica who has made my life hell.
I can only hope she never has to suffer the same pain from 
her son when he finds out the truth.
