truth- a poem

You want the truth?
Here it is.
All of it
this is everything that I know to be true
as of October 23rd, 2012
 
As of October 23rd
2012
I know
that there is nothing worse
than feeling the way I feel today
 
And I know
that there is nothing better
than feeling
the way I felt
this time last week.
 
And I know
that
in times like these,
where a whole world
you've built for yourself
can turn upside down 
and come crumbling
around you in an instant,
it is easy
to break.
 
And I know
that as of today,
October 23rd, 2012
I
am broken.
 
Everything
that I had thought to be true
at this time
last week
I now am not sure of at all
 
My castle crumbled today
and im not sure anymore
if i have the energy
to rebuild
 
So tonight,
I'm going to
lie in the ruins
and make
makeshift snow angles
in the falling ashes
of everything I thought I knew
and everything that I was sure of
one week ago
 
But tomorrow
or next week
who knows
what I will think
to be true
 
All I now
is that I know nothing
I am no longer sure of anything
I cant trust mayn things anymore
and I can't
hold on to many things anymore
because I refused to let go of you
and you
broke my fingers
 
And today
I am broken
my spine
is split
from trying to stand
straight enough to impress you
 
And my feet
are blistered and bleeding
from chasing you
through so many
false hopes and
broken funhouse mirrors
 
But this
is not about
resentment
and this
is not about
revenge
 
This
is about truth.
