The truth and the lie

The shout and the cry

The anger and the sigh

The who, what, where, why

The sane and the mad

The good and the bad

The happy and the sad

The want, need, have, had

    Well said, we just need to realize which is which.

  • At first your poem didn't make sense. Then I realised I misread your title as Two Truths and a Lie 🤦‍♀️ Well now it makes perfect sense and is brilliant!

  • Opposites detract.
