What Is Truth?

The 10^th promise of Debtors Anonymous says that we will no longer fear the truth; we will move from hiding in denial to living in reality.

What Is Truth?

Truth? The truth is I’m OK

My tummy is full

The heat is on and a hot bath awaits

But what if things aren’t as they appear?

Blasphemy! I’m OK

What if the mail hasn’t been open in months?

What if the credit cards are maxed?

What if I’m broke the day I’m paid?

What if the tummy, the heat, the bath is a lie?

What if I’m not OK?

So much fear to look at reality

Rather live in denial

It’s a truth I can live with

No need to bury my head

The illusion keeps me content

Over time denial is harder to obtain

Reality won’t let go

It won’t let me sleep

The phone is ringing

Collectors at the door

With a deep breath and full of fear

Step foot into a future based on reality

A reality that says I’m not OK

I’m broke and scared

And I want security

I want I real home

I want a real life

Not based on shows or illusions

Rather based on comfort and freedom

Starting with freedom from debt
