The Truth Is Already Known

As I drive home
a mantra to myself
I repeat, I repeat, I repeat
The Truth Is Already Known
It cannot be changed
It has already occurred
and done the damage
We will just have to manage
its consequences
It will be revealed to me
and deal with me
later
There is a terrifying void between
what I know
and have yet to know
The suspension
bridging the two
is what kills me
I can’t turn back
I must drive home
The Truth Is Already Known
there
I repeat, I repeat, I repeat
