Truth is something we already know, Yet we will distance it from ourselves. Truth can be joyous or miserable in it's own way. Truth is a black cat, you're afraid to cross. You think once it crosses your path, you'll be miserable. Truth is not bad luck, it's a pet you'll grow to love, one you welcome it in your heart. - I have used a metaphor here. A metaphor is a poetic device where you have direct comparison without using 'like' or 'as' Example: Truth is a black cat.
