My Truth

This is my truth:
You stand for what
you believe in,
foremost of those
being your friends.
You stand for what's right,
even for adversaries,
because what is right
is what you hope
to receive.
You love without question,
because love permits us
to escape the prison of ourselves,
to touch another
and break them free as well.
This is my truth,
even if you disagree,
respect mine,
as I try to respect
yours.
