No need to apologize… I can work this out myself.
Your words simply touched that tender part of me
Hurt long before you arrived
A little demon running through my mind playing hide and seek
Until it hears the triggering words inviting it to lash out
To wreak havoc on my insecurities
Flail about to defend that which I cannot see
Because it’s not about you
It’s always about me

Thank you. I’m venturing toward peace of mind and found it is in our power to smile when we want to cry.
