I do not know why I align them in these rows thinking

I have something to be heard

say yes but why open one’s mouth as if wise when

the next line proves a fool?

doubt they say is part of existence

were it true then these words keep coming

giving some semblance of peace to a heart unsure

of what is real and what isn’t

the same will be in the end whether

doubt proves otherwise

shame aside this line of letters collects into words crosses this page and ends there
