Faced with a problem,
The opposite advice
Of opposite friends
Has me conflicted:

Trust vs. ulterior motive?

I wish
For an hour
I could read minds
And see the truth for what it is.

And not as what I want to see.

Or that I could see you
And your intentions

And this advice
Would not ruin my day
More than the problem.

So who do I believe,
And what is the agenda?

Truth
or
ulterior
motive?

Like a monkey on my back
It continually beats me in the head with a rotten banana.

Author's Note: I am going to become a eunich. Or I would if I was male and maybe living in India and was in charge of a harem. Or something.
