I don't attack other people
my first habit is to say nothing when I'm upset
slam shut, clam up
leave the room, close the door
from my relationships, I've learned that this isn't helpful
so, I try to sort through my feelings and spill them when I can
of course, there's still a lingering anxiety attached to
revelation for me
but I practice being brave and speak anyway
even though my body is afraid of the possible slap-up-side-the-head
or embarrrassment
since I have a choice, I make an effort not to hurt other people
so often that means I don't defend myself when
people behave in aggressive ways
I think this is often misunderstood
as if people think I don't notice or
don't feel the pain
I don't think I'll ever be able to tell you
how disappointed I am that
you were distant rather than close
and secretive rather than honest
during those days that passed
and all that time I loved you,
listened to you,
and trusted you
