don't even.

opinions.
may as well
be facts
to you.
you believe,
so it's your
truth.
we speak so easily...
perhaps
too easily...
and we use tone
and body language
and volume
as if that is
proof...
proof that what we say
is real.
searching for validation.
the more people who relate,
the more true the words are,
yes?
but...
of course
that is nowhere near
accurate.
it still means nothing.
it still does not matter.
it's still bullshit.
just another ploy
to rise above where we stand.
it really doesn't work,
but we do it anyway.
i'm sick
and
i'm tired
of hearing your
"point"
just speak to me
unafraid
give me a little
humanity
and then
only then
will i really listen
and respect you
and your words.
but...
keep trying
to go over my head
and i will simply duck
because the truth
is a feeling,
a trust,
not a handful
of empty
words and 
expressions...
keep them.
save that breath
for breathing
it's hot enough here
already
...
