Truth waits — Typewriter Manuscript Poetry T-Shirt
A polished story can leave out everything that matters. This Filthy Poet poem lets the performance run its course while the missing truth finds its way back.
About this item
The poem
Go tell them your story, make me look insane,
Leave out every detail where you caused the pain.
Polish your halo, rehearse every lie,
Then act like the victim and wonder why.
Forget all the shouting, the games and the spin,
Forget all the ways that you wore patience thin.
Just mention my anger, ignore what came first-
That trick always works
when your conscience is cursed.
But truth has a habit of crawling back through,
No matter how pretty the bullshit from you.
So tell them your version,
make fiction your friend-
The truth doesn't panic. It waits for the end.

What garment-dyed means
The tee is coloured after it has been sewn. Pigment-dyed shades have a softer, weathered finish; other shades have a more even appearance. Small differences in shade are part of garment dyeing.
Before your first wear
Wash separately in cold water. Pigment-dyed colours can release loose pigment, even after the first wash, and may stain lighter items.
Then wash with similar colours. If colour is still releasing, keep washing separately.
| Wash | Turn inside out. Machine wash cold, maximum 30°C, with similar colours. |
|---|---|
| Dry | Air dry where possible, or tumble dry on low heat. |
| The print | Never iron directly over the printed design. |
| Avoid | Bleach and dry cleaning. |
Always follow the care label supplied with your tee.
