The untruths
wound
the silences
kill
the pretenses
deaden
allow the honesty
to dislike what is disliked
like what is liked
the way life is lived
the way life is seen
to take or leave
what is taken or left
to move on
or to stay back
to preach
or not be preached to
to grow old in youth
to grow young in old
to be man as woman
or be woman as man
let be
just let it be!

The two man/woman lines throw the poem into high gear. It moved slowly at first at with a disarmingly traditional complaint, but that surprise at the end rearranges the perspective makes you think again. Nice work.
