Mute
This really is the problem, isn't it?
Trying to tell the difference
Between the truth and malarkey ...

How do you hone your sensibilities
To such a fine point that you
Will never foolishly believe a lie?

How do you determine something
So important. Something that might
Change your life's course?

How do you tune into subtleties,
A look, a touch, a feeling,
That you're on the right track?

Trusting that inner guidance
May be the hardest, most
Worthwhile thing you can ever
learn to do.
