Response

As soon as you refuse
To look into those two rooms
You are clueless.

Two sides are a given.

How can you balance yourself
If your hands are placed near
To your ears
And your self has no say.
Beware of people who insist on themselves
Trust the ones who call later.

No jealousy...
I will not credit such
Manipulation as it is...

Never trust the use
Of grief.
Trueness cannot pose.
No true love will open a book of intimacy.

Proverbs 15: 1-4 "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.
The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit."

I am looking at myself through these words. Will you?

I find the last stanza tremendously thought-provoking...
