whichever way truth wishes
to unleash itself through me
i will not censor it, but set if free
suppressed it was too long
out of supposed humility
though surely some will disagree
what matters is that i can finally see
speaking is what i need to do undoubtedly
holding my tongue back is a skill
i do not need to learn, for i was already born
with the ability for such concern
what must be done is verbalize my mind's discussions
while letting go of insecurities about repercussions
self-doubt is what my ego still implies
though i won’t stop in fear of looking vain
in others’ eyes; some point out arrogance
i recognize self-confidence; they imply fabrications
i value my sincere interpretations
if they suggest a wish to outshine
i trust that my intent leads me to the Divine
should some decide to make a point to disagree
i comprehend and respect the heavenly decree
to let each choose the path they wish to walk
yet, still i'll follow mine and that's to talk
the statements that i make are what
my soul inside has stirred
i’m not implying linking others to them word for word
my task is to communicate the wider meaning
what often seems preposterous at first
is not demeaning, but is a blessing
through which the world waits to receive your giving
please know that what i do is not for admiration
but to adhere to the appointed path of communication
still, some may choose to challenge and compete
instead of sifting through their personal perceptions
for their own sweet treat
to offer it to others as a present when they meet
this was not written as an insult
to offend, or in defense, but for objective conversation
over just subjective sense; no one will witness
words from me decrease, dishonestly please, or cease
because my genuine goal in life is inner peace
