you can talk yourself silly
believing every word
#forsaking what you stand for
when #artificial love hurts

stop pretending to believe
when you know
you've been wronged
courageously move on

time defends & honors
the #brave & the strong

#inkMine #vss365 #poetry

where's common ground
of indecision

no settled means
of justification

until a whistleblower
#sounds the alarm

#forsaking privacy

allowing one & all to speak

then freedom is for the taking

#vss365 #inkMine #poetry

why does he deserve
the right to speak freely
tendering speeches of glory
after #crashing another's hope

why should he be praised as angelic
when in quietude imposed heartache
#forsaking a #sound heart that meant him well
