👤When Nobody Believes You

When nobody believes you
Is your story even true?
When nobody believes you
What are you supposed to do?
Like the tree that fell
But you didn’t hear its sound,
Even if you’re screaming
Are you really that loud?
A fable changed by a thousand revisions
A story tamed for hint of rebellion
A lack in trust if the going gets tough
Reality diminished behind facade.
But running through the hallway which never ends
Ragged and heaving, shouting in defense
Will not scrape away the cobwebs of their tale
A single boat straining against a scarlet lake.
When nobody believes you, you are all alone
A single ember lighting up the ruins of a hope.
When nobody believes you, do not give up the fight,
The veil will shift, the clouds will part, the truth will come to light.
