I am a fan of haiku. However, I always find it easier to write a haiku than to write about one. But I'll give it a try. You're writing about the dangers of searching for the truth. This is great...there's so much to do with that. The thing that makes me sad is that instead of showing me, you told me about this havoc. Now, I know it's a haiku and there's only so much you can say. So perhaps this is a harbinger of a future poem? Perhaps this will inspire you to write another poem that shows us what happens when you go on a quest for the truth?

I also agree with sealegs, but you should also put punctuation and capitalization in your haiku, too.
the real truth behind it all
havoc will ensue

And this part seems to just jump from one thing to the next, not making much sense. I know you can't add any more words to it, but maybe you could change some words so it will flow better.
One suggestion is you could change it to
"Determined to find
the truth behind it all or
havoc will ensue."
You've never had to crawl, you've never had to see,
what it feels like to be so trapped underneath

the weight of someone's world, comes crashing down on me

I was longing to be free, I put the bullet in you and me

This is my farewell to you and I,
this will all end in tragedy
