Communication

Speak, but also…Listen

By Gelene BeverlyPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

You think you know what I have done

But that is just not true.

If it is something you would do,

Recall that I'm not you.

Belief that you are right in this

Will not make it a fact.

Perhaps you could have simply asked

Instead of only act.

The truth in this is you are wrong

No matter what you thought.

And if you'd only come to me

You'd have the truth you sought.
