It doesn’t matter
how big, how horrible
the lie told about you.
It doesn’t matter
how often it was told,
or for how long,
or who believed it,
or even if you, too, were fooled.
It doesn’t matter
how it has accumulated,
what complications got piled up
and up, compounding that first lie,
it doesn’t matter
what consequences have accrued.
In the clarity of Truth
no lie is seen,
and in the sight of Truth
is the forgiveness
that absolves any size lie
and makes you clean.
