Tell the Truth 11-17-17


Do I want to be profound,

Or do I want to be considered

Profound?

 

Because if they think I am

Then that must mean I am

And until they say that I am

A nobody is all that I am.

 

Am I actually trying to change

The world, or do I want them

To believe that I am trying to?

 

Is my service an honest

Reflection of my desire to

Help those around me, or a

Selfish show for ‘+’ attention?

 

When I do the right thing,

Do I mean it? Tell the truth,

Ace, Do you mean it?

 

Well, do you?
