Truth or Dare

Truth or Dare

I always chose truth

But if the question was about a boy -sometimes I'd lie

Because didn't everyone like the same boy in middle school?

Truth

Truth hasn't always been easy for me

Ask my mom about the glasses I "needed" in second or third grade

But real truth doesn't change

And the truth is

We are made different

So she poses the question...

Who put the DARE in "Dare to be different"?

Then she asks a few more

And wraps up with this:

"If things are going to change then different needs to cease being a dare"

She's 17

And I know she's going to shape the world 

Because she already is

And she's right

If things are going to change different needs to just be

So I still choose truth

Unchanging and different

I'll build my life on belief

And let the rest fall into place

I've never been good at dares

But I'm pretty okay with being just me
