Right or wrong

I have to be more careful with my words

Or rather the wording of said words

I have to take a leaf out of your book this time

Instead of slamming it shut each time you open it before me

Despite how ludicrous and unbelievable your avoiding answers are

There are only so many ways I can rephrase the question

Before insanity beats honesty by numbers from the infinite variations

So I'm not giving in quite yet as I said in frustration

And although from our argumentative conversation I failed to learn

I was in fact enlightened, brightened, given light

For my answers and questions stand strong and unchanged

Strengthening in stillness at every returning question you fire

 

I may not be the Right, I may not have the Right

Your belief might be silenced

My belief may be misunderstood

And though no result came of words spoken

And methods remain unsuccessful

The conclusion is always the same despite the uncountable alterations

So as I close this file to open one unfamiliar

I sign off with three last words

I am right
