Knowing the Truth

Serious, our many differences.
Do we agree to let matters lie,
knowing the truth will bring more pain,
or do we face the challenge
facing us with a strength
that will see us through,
understanding
each other,
as we
must?

This inverted etheree is my response to Colleen’s Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 151 #SynonymsOnly, which offers dig and grave as prompt words.
I have used “know” and “serious” as synonyms.
