there is a challenge
in admitting
that not wanting to do
is the norm,
the way I am
right nowย
but not always been
though
how to make you see
there is more
than No in me
there is love
potentially
there is care
certainly
there are all the
things you would
expect
yet presently
not within reach
how to sell the case
that matters
how to sell the lie
without lying
how to make the truth
appear to be
less of a fake
than I currently
feel
I
am
