My Truth

My Truth

Yes. I know you think so
but what do you feel?
I don’t care what you say,
I can see in your eyes
that you want to say yes;
your attitude gives you away.

I felt that you’d say that,
totting up facts in my face,
as if my truth could be moved
by reason and logic;
not so fast, I return,
it’s my attitude keeps me this way.

No, you’ll not break me down,
for my feelings will weather the storm,
so you’ll not hear me say,
Oh, I see what you mean,
my feet march to other drums;
and it’s attitude leads us astray.
