Make no mistake
I heard the words
But chose not to reply
I heard the words
But chose not to reply
My thoughts are, first
Did you mean to hurt?
And if that’s so, then why?
Have I done wrong?
Have I caused harm?
What reason could there be?
My rig’s been tossed
My bearing lost
As I seek calmer seas
Absorbing shock
I process
And line up what to say
So when I speak
I don’t incite
And we communicate.
