INCONSEQUENTIAL (THROUGH A CHILD’S EYES)

INCONSEQUENTIAL (THROUGH A CHILD’S EYES)

 

What my truth is

When it’s not yours

Becomes a lie --

Or so you say

And makes me cry.

 

Whatever you choose not to believe

Is minimized.

Dismissed.

Trivialized.

As you shake your head

Say I’m mistaken

Calling my truth a lie

And it makes me cry.

 

Your hugs and kisses

For others’ sake.

I can’t believe they’re real

Not fake.

When you make me invisible

Replaced by your new loves.

Wasn’t that your father’s take…

And now your legacy for me?

 

So why should I bother

To tell you my truth

Only to have you tell me

That I should not believe myself

Because my truth is not yours

And you betray me

Every time.

And I cry.

 

 

from the book, "Ramblings Through the Attic of Thought"
