My nostrils flare, my heart racing
I am enraged!
How dare you!
You speak to me as if
I'm a little speck of dirt
Like I'm worth no more than two cents
I'm a waste of your breath.
How dare you!
You don't even know me
Didn't stop to listen to what I had to say
Don't care and probably don't realize
How hurt you've left me
All because your inflated ego
Has carried you too high.
I assume you're stuck there
Too frightened to fall down
And realize just who you are
And face your actions.
And that honestly
You and I
Are both just struggling people
Trying to be happy and healthy
And make our world a better place.
So I'm finished being angry
And now I just feel bad
That you're confused
And hope your fall won't hurt too bad
When it happens.

ReplyDeleteI've been to that fire-flared-racing-enraged place; I'm thoroughly inspired how you defused it so lovingly and humanly. You make that turnaround accessible to me who didn't have the words for that experience. Thank you for posting!
