Unpopular Choice

It would be easy for me to agree
Nod my head and smile
To gain your favor
For a while

And that would retain your esteem
For what you believe
Is not what I am
Or do

So I will look away and say
The truth I know
It makes sense
To me

And as I see the light fade
I wonder again if
I've made the
Right choice

Yet I think it takes more spine
To state what you are
Though the rest
Care less

No argument I make can show differently
For what I know you
Cannot believe
Directly

And sometime shape has poetry
That may not rhyme
In entirety
Or part
