It may seem so simple
inquiring minds want to know
why not and how come
when and what and where
hard questions
without any
easy answers
at least not the kind
any one really wants to know
it’s far better if she tells it
a different way
sugar coat
save face
a little white lie
that doesn’t give away
too much
cold hard truth
If she could
oh,she would
answer all the hard questions
by giving easy answers
cut and dry
simple as that
first thing that comes to mind
shooting straight.
from the hip
but she just can’t
do it just yet
it’s not quite
her time
and she’s learned
the hard way
that most people
just can’t take
the way she is
or the answers she gives
it’s as simple as that
and the simple answer
to all the hard questions
stays within her.
