HONESTY IS ELUSIVE

Added on July 3, 2020 by Jason Lam.

Honesty is elusive

Because honesty is scary

Honesty will do its best to protect itself

Than to allow its tears and scars rear its ugly head

To be an artist is to be willing to be scared

To be scared by yourself

And of yourself

To dive deeper into who you are

And face the potentials of who you could be

Instead of who you think you should be

To create is to make attempts at telling the truth

To tell the truth is to live forthrightly ahead despite the chaos in life

Despite the chaos in your mind

To tell the truth is to admit your imperfection

That all could go wrong

But to try anyway

And to make the world a better place

Even when all is burning around you
