Truth.

There are days when nothing can touch me and days when the slightest glance my direction can send pieces of me cascading throughout my universe. Yesterday, I hurt. Today, I'm verging on insanity. Tomorrow, who knows. All I do know is that everyday, no matter what I feel, I feel something real, and that intangible mystery that makes everyday something completely original and real, that is what I want you to give to me. All I want is the truth: good, bad, beautiful, hideous, past, present, future... I don't care if you lie completely just don't let me know, and I might never find out.

Rules:
1. I reserve the right to remove any poem I see unfit for the prompt or that simply doesn't make me feel much of anything for one of two reasons. First of all, I think everyone deserves the best competition out there. And, second, you only get one entry so think not of a DQ as rejection so much as a second chance.

2. I will tell you what I think. Don't enter if you don't like it.

3. Play nicely.
