How funny that the traditional positions are reversed
you to be the homebody
while I go out to fight
I am still struggling with what you have chosen
say yes to everything
because so much of the time you don't answer
I take that as a brush off, you know
silencing
you don't want to hear it
you don't want to discuss it
you have your interests
I am interested in everything
but particularly people
what makes them tick
and discrimination
which makes me want to wade in
with my sword
and carve people into mincemeat
perhaps I am to learn patience from you
perhaps this is a respite
perhaps this is a safe place to retreat
you have been fighting for a long time
I am glad that you have laid down your sword
and are finding rest
though sometimes I think you are missing things
withdrawn from the present world
I see that you seem happy in the past
I am trying to accept that
meanwhile, I am well enough
to pick my sword back up
and wade in.
