Realization or rationalization,
half-truths we tell ourselves
to make it through the day.
    Where are we
emotionally when dealing with
our current reality?
Half in, half out,
fully aware of indecision,
or lack of commitment
  to an ideal
    or undertaking,
Honesty.
Aren’t we better off knowing
where we stand, or
where we could,
than trying to figure out
how we got there? Honestly.
