Truth escapes down life's stairway.
Cloaked in a veil of darkness,
Invisible and swift, it eludes us.
Truth is the one thing that we look for and expect from our friends, our family, and our loved ones. Nobody wants to be lied to, and everyone looks for honesty. When someone we are close to lies to us, it is the greatest injury we could have. A lie conveys the disappointment that comes with not being able to trust someone we believed in. When we find that our friends have lied or have somehow been dishonest, it takes away, bit by bit, all that we believe is good in the world and leaves us with a feeling of emptiness and solitude. It is for that reason that I wrote in my poem that truth easily escapes us and is the one thing we seek more than anything else. We look for it and hope for it, knowing that it is among the most important virtues in our lives. Without it, we lose our ability to trust, which is among the most important parts of our humanity.
