"The Learning Curve" - by me!
I will not apologize for being difficult to know
Time will not change that
Prying eyes will not see through it
Catastrophic tendencies have left me
Disabled in the heart
Handicapped on the inside
And hobbled from within.
I have told my winding story
To each and every ear that would listen
Sympathetically they provided me
With a generous sigh that they related
A light pat on my shoulder for comfort
Compassionate nod and twitch for caring
Before their slinking away begins.
Cradled by my mother’s lessons
Rules and errors have schooled me through
Aged me almost to perfection
Guiding me blindly all the way
Learning every debt I must repay
Picking and choosing my few favorite instances
Crestfallen and sad because I could not stay.
Speaking solely of my disinterest
My qualms are steady growing
Vulnerability fast in showing
And the truth, I am quickly and quietly knowing.
