“Keep Talking”

there it is, i see it–
the truth behind your words.
you say things to me;
i get the hidden message.

you see, words are empty
when they aren’t validated
by so many other things.
keep talking.

i hear you;
but it doesn’t mean
that i’ll heed you.

everyone has their own truth;
and, mine is what i’ll follow.
for, no one can really sway me;
unless what they say
rings true to me.
