A tale of two truths

I speak my truth.
You speak yours louder.
There is no room for my truth
alongside yours.
You live your life
assured,
convincted,
hardened,
shut down to any new ideas.
They don’t matter.
Until,
one day,
you discover your truth is a lie.
Adrift,
confused,
humbled,
you finally open your heart.
And we walk side by side again,
you living your new truth,
me living mine.
