Gentleness and patience
Two cheesy words in a cheesy world
I am feeling heartless and cold
But not hopeless
Better to own up to it
Than submerge it in pretty words
I'd rather be honest than a debutante
Fake smile standing in line
Waiting to make the parade
This is my place
To own it
And I will
I have steeled my heart
Against a lot of nonsense
But I will never
Steel it against gentleness and patience
The look in a friend's eye that says....
Take all the time in the world that you need
Because whatever comes out comes out
And I don't care I don't judge
I know a few people who can withhold judgment for a very long time
And I
Am
