Kay so I literally just wrote this, reread it and went "ew." So help me make it better! This one needs some serious work :\.
The sad part about the truth
Is that you know it’s true.
You can’t escape the fact
That you can’t escape the truth.
There is no chance to revise,
No chance to take it back,
No chance for a “second opinion”
Or a different point of view.
What’s done it done,
And what’s done is complete,
No chance to explain
What it is that you mean.
It wasn't your fault,
It wasn’t your intent,
It wasn’t you call
That wasn't what you meant
But it was.
And that's the truth
And now that it’s over
It’s become part of you.
And the good thing about truth,
Is that I know it’s true.
And you can’t escape the fact,
That you can’t escape the truth.

Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
Overall I really enjoyed this, it simply needs a few more tweaks to make it great!
The first stanza was your strongest, just beautiful and so true, and it concluded nicely, but here are my other thoughts, and fyi the corrections are in red:

What’s done it done,
And what’s done is complete,-put something else here because it's redundent
No chance to explain
What it is that you mean.
It wasn’t your intent,
It wasn’t your fault,
It wasn’t……..[strikethrough]Just Fyi when you're reading this, there is intended to be about a five second gap here....it keeps the rhythm[/strikethrough]
It wasn’t………-add something more meaningul here
Add more in between these stanzas
But it was.
And that's the truth
And now that it’s over
It’s become part of you.-clarify
And the good thing about truth,
Is that I know it’s true.
And you can’t escape the fact,
That you can’t escape the truth.
That's all!
