A20:34
I held the truth for years.
I held the truth for years.
It was a small lie about money.
It was a small lie about money.
I told my sister I lost her ring.
I told my sister I lost her ring.
But I sold it for rent money.
But I sold it for rent money.
The lie grew inside me like a weed.
The lie grew inside me like a weed.
Yesterday, I finally called her.
Yesterday, I finally called her.
My hands shook as I spoke.
My hands shook as I spoke.
She listened without anger.
She listened without anger.
Then she said she already knew.
Then she said she already knew.
The weight just left my shoulders.
The weight just left my shoulders.
I did not need to hide anymore.
I did not need to hide anymore.
Truth feels like a cool drink.
Truth feels like a cool drink.
