In My Truth

In the quiet moments I'm often lost at sea

Unsure of the words to say or the steps to take

Social tides pull me under

A world of unspoken rules and fleeting smiles

I stumble and falter when gatherings lack aim

A ship adrift in a sea of small talk and pretense

But when injustice rears its head

I rise to meet it unwavering and unyielding

The world may seem black and white

But I see the grays the subtle hues in between

For even in the shadows there are rules

And in the chaos a hidden order

Change may be a tempest a storm I can weather

But my heart finds solace in structure and rhyme

Some may call it a weakness a flaw in my design

But my rigidity is my compass my guiding light

I may not dance to the rhythm of the crowd

Or follow the trends that shift like the sand

But in my steadfastness there is strength

A foundation that will not crumble

While others build their castles on shifting ground

My truth stands tall a fortress against the tide

For in the end it is not the sudden change

But the unwavering spirit that will survive

So let the world spin on its axis

Let the seasons change and the tides turn

I will stand firm rooted in my beliefs

A beacon of truth in a world of illusion

In the tapestry of life we each play our part

Some as chameleons blending with the scene

But I am a rock unyielding and true

And in my steadfastness I find my peace
