Feelings are not facts
A mantra worth repeating
Heart will attempt to sell you
All manner of wild tales
To suit its deep desires
Conjuring up the ghost
Of all possible pasts
Reworked and reconfigured
Into something delightful
Practiced artful deception
Akin to gasoline glass
Bending light through rainbow hues
Distorting truth
Into pretty refractions
Trickster! Villain!
Persuasive are your arguments
And your reach is insidious
A thousand times over
I will rebel against
Your arrogant authority
Why do you persist
With your demands
Cease your incessant chatter
Be silent, foolish creature
Live or die, I will not yield
I have suffered enough
Thrice over, in fact
Heed my words
I do not need
Another goddamn cat!

Haha this is great! One more cat couldn't hurt tho... 😅🐈⬛️💜
Brilliant! This is exactly how cat people end up with six cats. The heart always wins, and it always lies. ✨
