i hate it
when honesty hurts someone
when me being truthful
hurts a good person's feelings

i never wanted it that way

but i have tried hiding
i have tried pretending i was better
i have made believe that i would change
or another person would change
but now i realize
people very seldom change
and expecting them to
is more cruel
than the truth could ever be

but i still feel
like less of a person
like an arrogant ass
i should i suppose
but i still think it was right

I would rather have someone who was honest with me from the start than someone who felt they had to lie to protect my feelings. The truth usually finds its way into the open in the end and finding out you've been lied to it's much harder to deal with than an honest opinion or confession.

It's better to be honest with someone in the beginning, than end up hurting them later on. When you're dishonest to someone, it ends up hurting the other person, and yourself.

Always be honest, and always be yourself.
