honesty is being alone

honesty is a masquerading lie
to be honest you must be different
because most people lie, to themselves and to other
and enough people lying in unison may as well be truth
because if enough people believe it,
it is the "truth"
the world is flat, the sun revolves around the earth
you are the center of the universe
so to be truly honest, you must "lie" and be a "liar"
to keep no secrets, you sacrifice yourself
intimacy with everyone loses its meaning
honesty has turned to deception
truth and honesty are not the same
"truth" is embroiled int he present
"honesty" is timeless, limitless, boundless
and in being honest, you hope to create of a life of infinite possibility
but nobody cares for your honesty
they find it creepy
weird
desperate
different
they shit on what you think and feel
they soil it, and it soils you
makes you distrusting
alienated
scared
alone
a single lone voice calls out above the crowd in a foreign language
the language of honesty
and the crowd turned on the foreigner and kill them
rip their throat out, spill their pure honest blood
and they all call out in unison
"we don't like your kind"
