You Think You Know

 

“You Think You Know”

You walk like certainty,
shoulders carrying the weight of all the answers,
a man forged in fire, pride and yet also spirit ,
unshaken,
unbothered,
untouchable.

And yet
I see you.

Not the mask,
not the voice that commands a room,
but the silence when no one is looking.

You think you know who I am,
what I feel,
what I need
but you’ve only skimmed the surface,
only touched the edges of a depth
you haven’t dared to drown in.

You love with armor on,
fight with words instead of presence,
and still believe
you hold the map to this heart.

But I am not a puzzle
to be solved by assumption.

I am a storm you’ve never stood in,
a prayer you’ve never spoken with trembling lips,
a truth that doesn’t beg to be understood
but burns quietly, waiting to be met.

You think you know.
But you have no idea.
