Your Silent Friend

No need to be self-righteous on my account

Can't you smell it?

I've been out in the garden too 

I know more about those weeds than you think

Trust me

Cultural nuance aside, isn't that...

a universal value?

That's all I expect

You're scared, I get that

But what about how you shame me?

I don't tear off peoples' clothes

What needs be said

if at all,

will deliver up from an open heart

My hands can be clumsy

but they're not malicious

My ideas conservative

but not for stifling control

Below my hands be

even bigger hands 

to catch us when we fall

Behind my heart be

the softest heart

to buffer the impact when we crash

Above my mind be

a greater mind

to resolve all our confusions
