I have this recurring impulse,
Like an involuntary reaction,
Fervently whispering, “this is false,”
With mounting distraction,
“It isn’t this; it’s something other.”
I’ve ignored it- I’ve reprimanded
I’ve called it sin.
I’ve tried to understand it
Through the lens
Of how I must be wrong.
But the whisper abounds
Deafening as I’ve grown
Until the sounds
Of all I’ve known
Give way to what I might yet know.
