Doubtful, but True

I don’t know what to believe anymore.

All these words are thrown this way and that.

A lie and a truth and a plead for advice,

Make me wonder if I have done wrong.

I don’t like to believe that I’m wrong about this,

And it’s not just my pride shining through.

I was confident, sure, in all my convictions,

But now I’m shaken to my core.

I really don’t want to believe it,

But I think I am starting to find

That whenever I’m sure of what I believe

Something shakes up the foam-covered tides.

So now my mind spins

I don’t know what to say

Should I tell you that it’s not okay?

So I keep my tongue tied and I keep my head down

And wait for the right time to arrive.
