I know the truth deep inside of me where logic refuses to tread

N ot in my mind but in my soul; in my heart, not in my head.

T hese are gut wrenching feelings, signals not to ignore

U nlike reason and logic that your mind begs you implore.

I hear the truth through the whole of me, from a voice that never will lie

T ruth that rings undeniably, in conscience's hidden sigh.

I mmediate cognition and certainty, stills my mind from thought.

O f truth as it is, as a whole; and falseness, as it is naught.

N o rational logic comes into play, no wrestling with reason or rhyme

S imply perceptions sensed from within; revealed, true or false, in their time.
