The Truth That Lies Within

Self portraits of Lindley Rebecca

Some questions
we shall never know
the answers.
But the answers
they are not
important,
they
never are.
For in
the questions,
lie, the
seed of the answers.

The questions,
they mostly,
hurt us more
than the answers
themselves.

Often,
the answers we hear,
are so far from
the truth.

An answer
has too many
different meanings.

But a question
only has
one.

Our hearts,
it knows
the truth.
We just do not
trust, we choose not
to believe in it.
We rather
have faith in
our fairytale minds.
Our truth,
it faithfully takes us
down that road.
Which slowly but surely,
defiantly leads
us to our
unmasked selves.

The answers,
They have always
stemmed from
the questions.

For only,
when we
are able to accept
the answer to
a question,
we would understand
we no longer
need to question.

For we are the question and the answer.

ABOUT THE COLUMNIST

Nell-Lynn Perera’s favorite past times are writing proses and painting. Being able to connect with people through them has encouraged her to continue doing both with a growing passion. Many times upon reading her poems or looking at her artwork, people assume that she’s living through what she wrote or painted – not necessarily so. She writes to inspire people mostly, even if it’s through a dark piece of writing or art. In life, she’s realized most things are relative. And everything shall pass. This is the beauty of life.
