What If You Are Wrong

You know within that you are right!

Your words tear at our guarded flesh.
Canines raging at every bite.
Life's essence weeps after each thresh.
Silence does not mean we agree.
Taking each jab of your blunt prong,
Our eyes fixed on what you don’t see.

I must ask you, "What if you're wrong?"

An energized pen, I've felt that. So sharply penned!

It is amazing what little we actually 'know' outside of ourselves.

Like the poem--well written--opening and ending lines are quite effective!

Thank you Vijay,. We have all faced others' strong opinions in our life. Most often, these opinions are off the mark, but can sometimes hurt nonetheless.
