I SUPPOSE I WILL CALL THEM SPLINTERS THAT LODGE AND PIERCE MY SOUL

REMINDERS OF THINGS THAT DON’T SEEM RIGHT AND MAKE ME UNCOMFORTABLE

I OFTEN TRY TO IGNORE THEM THINKING THEY WILL GO AWAY

BUT CERTAIN THOUGHTS AND WORDS REMIND ME OF THEM AND I HAVE A CHOICE TO MAKE

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I COME TO THIS PLACE AND CAN’T WAIT TO SET THINGS STRAIGHT

BUT I AM STUBBORN AND SELF-CENTERED AND WOULD RATHER LOOK AWAY

THE IRONY WHEN THE PAIN GETS TO GREAT AND I HUMBLE MYSELF TO ACCEPT THE FACTS

NOTHING IS GOING TO BE RESOLVED UNTIL I SET THINGS RIGHT

RELIEF ISN’T ALWAYS IMMEDIATE SOMETIMES THE OFFENDED TURNS AWAY

I AM LEFT TO WAIT UNTIL THE ISSUE CAN BE ADDRESSED ANOTHER DAY

BUT IF I MAKE THE EFFORT TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHEN I’VE BEEN WRONG

THE DOORS THAT ONE WERE CLOSED AND LOCKED OFTEN THEY ARE SPRUNG

I AM RESPONSIBLE………………..FOR THE EFFORT………………NOT THE OUTCOME
