Hidden Resilience, this poem gives voice to the moment when outside pressure tries to make a person mistrust their own perception. The turn toward listening with care, awareness, and truth honors intuition as protection, especially for readers learning to recognize when doubt has been placed in them by someone else. The Frida Kahlo self-portrait pairing adds a fitting visual presence: steady, direct, and self-possessed. Thank you for sharing a compact reminder that inner knowing can be part of resilience.

Gut feeling

I suppose

Unease

Quizzical

Yet

They are so confident

Self righteous

Bold

I'm bowled over

Naw

Can't be right

That's a misquote

Out of context

Wrongly applied

To prove a point

Win the argument

Just to win

Not discuss

Debate

Seek truth

Understand.

Disappointing

What some people do

Ruled by prejudice

They cannot see

Unchallengable

So sad, really

Lovely post

You might just be right
