Your voice rang hollow
with the words,
that you had packed
for me, in neat and tidy
circumstance they mocked
all I had been.
And yet they offered
insight into the man you were,
and opened to reality;
sincerity deferred.
If I had not been brave enough,
to fall into their depths,
I never would have known
the truth, or found self-confidence.
Within the echoed callousness,
of those brief, thoughtless words,
the truth took me in hand
and led me through the door.
