…know this…
i am not
afraid of you
although,
maybe it’s wrong
for me to presuppose
what has been
proven
to work for you
being subject to scrutiny
like the story
of the emperors
…new clothes…
i only want
what works best
for you,
so pardon me
if i disagree
with you sometimes
what matters most certainly,
in truth is
what lies in the future
…between you and me…
i am unafraid to challenge you
because i love you more
than just trying to pacify
your animosity
at your being critical
of the questioning
…of your beliefs…
