" A truth
you did not want
to know

can rot & grow mold
in the pit
of your stomach,

can sour
every taste
you've ever had,

can cast a stench
so bad your forget
you've ever known

a sweet thing.
A truth you did not want
can put a collar around your neck

& lead you into the dark,
the places where all your
monsters live.
-Camino "
