Finally Truth

Authors note: This poem represents all the lies that had been told to Truman. There are two quotes that the director of the show said in the movie that showed his need for control over the show and Truman. I incorporated both of them into the poem. Also, the last line was not spoken in the movie, but it seemed as though it should be assumed.



O're the ocean he traveled to see
that which had made him what he be
That which has almost been his death
And that which then gave his breathe

Of all the lies ever was told
He had never been all that bold
To have such courage for he was scared
For what beyond the world shared

He accepted the world as it was given
Not over the bridge had he ever driven
For water had stole from him a dad
One who was sheltered from all sad

The water that once had been his life
Began to cause him such a strife
His father was gone and what to become
but a heart that had gone cold and numb

And so as secrets began to unfold
The truth that once had never been told
Was finally spoken for all to hear
"In my world, you have nothing to fear."

Yet fear was what had caused this show
His need for control had made him so
And as Truman opened the door
I'll never come back again he swore
