I never meant
to hide it from you,
this gift I have, this
innate ability
to 'bounce back',
and evolve.
I never considered that
you would think
the more civilized,
natural way,
of human expression
to be such a travesty.
I never considered
that you were that
weak to think of
me as weak, too,
and I am now thinking,
I should have considered.

Author's Notes/Comments:
It is the author's thought that expression of face to face, human to human emotion, and validation of such, is a necessity for a person to become whole and healthy. it is holding on to the emotions that can be expressed without physical violence that do most of the damage in the world right now...and it is all invisible, and why it has become so lethal to life.
in essence...our emotions change with our thoughts, and so if we are always expressing through words, without heart to heart communication... we only ever see half of the picture...of anything. Because the combination of thought and emotion can transform everything. Verbalization is the biggest and longest lie that has every been told.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
