Only Another Thought

Alex Arnot

I've no reason to listen to you

It makes no difference if what you say is true.

You're just a person and another thought

A voice in the wind and all for naught

 

A differing thought that wouldn't sway me

An unorthodox belief that would surely slay me.

The path I chose is straight and narrow

To meander the other would leave me harrowed.

 

To join your mental insurrection

To break the shell that gives protection

To expose the soft, thin flesh within

And let the world naturally thicken my skin.

    Dude everything you write inspires me to keep going. The way you express yourself in your work is chilling and thought provoking. I feel like I'm listening to you speak through the page!
