Paragraphing Truth

Shards of a story scattered in lines Fragments that never align Whispers stitched into half-spoken lies Truth buried between the signs You fed me pieces, controlled what I’d see A narrative carved to keep me beneath Selective silence, deliberate gaps A maze of words I can’t map I trace the edges, but they don’t connect Every answer bends to deflect A mirror cracked by invisible hands I’m forced to read what I can’t understand Say it whole or don’t say it at all I’m done with the fragments that fall Paragraphing truth into lines I can’t read Every sentence hides what I need You divide what was meant to be one Now I’m chasing shadows undone Tell it straight, let it bleed into light Or bury it deeper in night I won’t live inside your disguise Stitching truth from your lies Every omission cuts deeper than lies Silence is where the real meaning hides You ration the truth like it’s yours to control Denying the shape of the whole I feel it shifting beneath every word A truth that exists but is never heard You guard it close like a fracture in glass Afraid it will break if it’s asked Do you fear what it means if it’s said? Or the weight of the words left unsaid? Paragraphing truth into lines I can’t read Every sentence hides what I need You divide what was meant to be one Now I’m chasing shadows undone Tell it straight, let it bleed into light Or bury it deeper in night I won’t live inside your disguise Stitching truth from your lies Is it courage you lack or a will to deceive? Do you fracture the truth just to breathe? If it breaks you to say it complete Then the silence is yours to keep I won’t carry the weight of your fear I won’t bend just to make it unclear Paragraphing truth into lines I defy I see through the words you deny All the pieces you tried to divide Now collide, now collide Say it whole or watch it collapse In the void of the truths that you mask I refuse to be blind to your design I reclaim what you tried to confine No more fragments to follow blindly No more silence to define me If the truth is shattered in you I’ll rebuild it into something true
