SOMETHING TO SAY
by P. Jenkins
I think,
that you have something you need to tell me.....
something important,
but you don't know how to go about doing it.
You want to be honest, and straight-forward
with me,
but you are afraid.....
afraid that what you have to say
will upset me.....or cause me deep pain.
And knowing you, as I do.....
this is the last thing you really want to happen.
You want me to know the truth about what's in
your heart
But, you just don't know how to tell me what it is.
let me help you.....
You told me once, that
saying how you feel exactly as you feel
is the only way you know how to be.
I feel this way too.
But I also believe this.....
when I have something difficult to tell someone,
I find it's best to say whatever it is....
quickly,calmly,.....but directly.
Like pulling off a bandade....smooth and fast
for then the pain is ever so slight
and the healing can begin
almost right away.
