Those in Need

Sometimes it's easier to project.

Sometimes the aid takes the role of bad cop.

If they understand, it will not be personal.

Sometimes it's easier to run.

Space can be good, but aid must be ready to chase.

A firm tie can be a saving line in the opportune time.

Sometimes the tongue is more potent than any prescription.

Never underestimate talking.

Often the tension coiled inside can be released without fuss.

Speech is the soap to undo the tight knot.

And who wields the tongue in use?

Perhaps a friend.

Perhaps a simple listener.

Perhaps someone who's living is helping.

No matter the cause,

No matter the situation,

The path to escape can be positively found.

There's always a way out,

While avoiding checking out.

Boiling Point

Did you expect us to be happy for you?

Did you expect us to make it part of our personal affairs?

You blind sided us.

Did you ever consider how this could go unspeakably wrong?

Do you care you've butchered a chance at a positive relationship with us.

This is now a masterful masquerade.

If this turns out to be a scam, it is arguable you deserve it.

This is mail-order, not a forged bond.

And you expect us to give her a chance?

Fine.

Shouldn't judge before you meet right?

Well the fact anyone goes through with this speaks clear.

Don't expect us to invest in this.

The anger sets in slowly.
You disregard how this affects us.
Not that you ever cared anyways, at the core.

You say words of sweetness;
The after-effect is poison.
I see past your tongue.

Know this:
I don't anticipate visits in the coming years.
Nor should you.
