The heart knows what eyes can’t see
Or maybe it’s the whole body
Warning that something’s off
Making you feel uneasy
Truth takes its time to appear
Detained by well-dressed lies
Still, the heart sniffs out trouble
But sight demands a why
That uneasiness in the mind
You can’t quite put fingers on
Gut instincts, they call it
Try to dismiss it–can’t move on
Not until truth breaks free
Uniting inner knowing with proof
Masks fall, real faces seen
Confirming what the heart already knew
