you are callous
and I am a bit like tissue paper
when it’s wet
when I’m wet
you’ve got forms beyond my experience
shapeshifting and bullshitting,
you’re honest because you believe everything you say
with complete conviction
No, I would not call you a liar;
You’re simply
so stubborn in your belief
of your own words,
that the world bends to your will
it isn’t “simply”
and it took me forever to work that out.
I am precious
and you are a bit like rain
when it’s unforgiving
when I’m underneath it
rain does not lie
and I hate it
for always being right.

Thankyou much.
Beautiful and moving. You show your feelings, making yourself vulnerable and open in this poem. Thank you.
Well my friend, that is what poetry (and art in general) is all about, I believe. Opening oneself up and being vulnerable.
