the elusive slippery truth
i stood tall because
i foolishy thought i knew
i thought i knew better
than anyone else
arrogant and stubborn
beyond comprehension
all this time i expected
nothing but full attention
and when i didn't get it
i was harsh vindictive
full of resentment
i gave it my all
only to expect it back
i feel so guilty
accusing others
and being as bad myself
the elusive slippery truth
i stood tall because
i thought i knew better
than anyone else
arrogant and stubborn
beyond comprehension
