Do Others Not See

Do others not see?
it’s so clear to me
Why you do what you do
I’m sure you’ll agree

I saw that you tried
I recall, when you cried
I did not forget
The second you lied

I stand where you stood
I believe there is good
How could I say
What I wouldn’t, or would

The truth is, I can’t 
Reasons are scant
To support my inquiry
And back up my rant

So my mouth remains shut
I won’t show my butt
Until there’s a hole
I swear, I won’t putt

I will do my best
Can’t speak for the rest
This is just me
No more, no less
