Half-Truths

Nothing to hide


Honesty

Sincerity

Truthfulness

Fairness

And frankness


Candid


Be careful what you wish for

And be careful how you curse


Deceit

Falsehood

Ulterior motives

Lies

No matter how white

Are not in my nature


Honest


I am forthright

I am truthful

I am candid

I am honest

I am sincere


I harbor no secrets


I have nothing to hide


I am an open book


Believe me


I am black and white

In a world meant for gray

No room for half truths

Only truths whole

No second guessing

No uncertainty


Binary


I do not twist words

I am full

I am honest

I am not misleading

I take the intent of your words

I do not misinterpret

I take your words

And speak truth


Riddle free


But you see

How it binds me

How I must measure myself

Both movements and thought

Words are the least of it

I cannot pass the wrong message

Nor imply a tell

Nor hesitate

Nor think twice


You can be honest without speaking truth

Lucky you


If I second guess

I question

Be unsure

Every moment is but


A half truth


[Context: due to magical means, the narrator cannot lie, but that is more complicated in context]
