It's hard to stand my ground

When you call me names

When I agree with everything you are saying.

Yes,  angry person,  I am a terrible human begin.

Yes, the world could do so much better than me.

Yes you deserve better.

But here we are.

It was all at once. immediate and painful. I am still reeling from the blow-back. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Shhh

...i'll tell you a secret. I'm  not ok. Very much so. I don't know where to put that just now. So i'll just hold on to it and this too will pass.

Dear boy, I wish there had been comfort in your arms.

There is nothing left to say beyond that. There wasn't. comfort. But thank you anyway.
