Broken Feelings
Soothe my broken feelings
Sharp words sent them reeling
A lack of gratitude
Piercing my quietude
Keep negativity
In your reality
Disrespect overflows
Bringing me to new lows
Now my heart is aching
Afraid it is breaking
Nightmares are trapping me
In their captivity
Misunderstanding rains
Causing me such great pains
Perfect, you’re hardly not
But in that pretense caught
Contempt poses great risk
Like that of fist to fist
It only serves to hurt
When in anger you blurt
A thoughtful tolerance
Needs to again find us
Can’t we simply agree
To have civility?
