storytelling
do stories
only ever exist
in a
singular perspective?
maybe a story is told
to fit
a preconceived notion of you
a judgment
a limited understanding
maybe stories
are spun with golden thread
to make them seem
more inviting
more true
at least to you
maybe stories protect us
from being led astray
or comfort us
from the horrors
of the day
it’s funny though
how we play telephone
switching narratives
to make sense of
what we’ve heard
it all comes down to
word of mouth
the tone of voice
if things go south
to process
you must create
so tell it like it is
your story is worth hearing
your narrative is not his
