Skeletons

Truth is actually a dangerous thing if you think about it; think about it. It gnaws at your skin, eating away at your pores, going down layer by layer until all that’s left for it to do is to engulf your muscles and exude them out onto the ground. When it gets that far and to that point in its journey, causing the regurgitation it’s needed to cause, all that’s left for it to pursue are the bones and the marrow behind those bones, leading to complete and utter bareness, where the truth can find rest and a strong lack of necessity for it to cause them to crumble. Oh, it could – it has the strength to do that, but it won’t because you see, truth is too big a thing to be crowded by the desires of the flesh and the muscles that corrode and decay and stretch such a thing as that sort of fabric, so it needs to clear a way, to provide for itself a path, in which it has the strength to invade. That, and the bones and their inner structure, the marrow, provide truth with a fortress, a sort of housing if you will, a shelter that will guard it from the war – the bombs, the explosions, the destruction – that you’ll find going on outside a skeleton’s gates. And some people won’t like you when you expose the truth if your truth involves embarrassing bits and pieces of their own truths, but I found that out – oh, did I ever find that out – and that’s, in my opinion, the only way a truth can be revealed in its entirety. For the truth to be told that person needs to provide the listener or listeners with a substantial amount of background according to the current circumstance he or she finds him or herself in so the person or persons listening can have an accurate way of processing the whats and whys behind any given perspective and to understand the reasoning behind why things are the way they are right now in the present. Hey, I’ve got nothing to hide… They might, but that’s honestly not my problem; it’s theirs. So, don’t ask anybody anything without being completely open to their blunt honesty from actual experience, refusing even to make the slightest bit of change in perspective on your part because then the question is a lie, just words for you to throw into the air, because that hurts… So think about it, you bastards.
