Interpretation

Perspective
People’s triggers
Where to be compassionate
Where to let go
When to laugh at something
When to be angry
How much to expect and how much to ask for
When to separate and when to reconcile
How much can I actually understand
before compromising my own self-worth?
Diplomacy
Meaning double eyed in Greek
Two-sided or two-faced
striving for balance
looking out for both sides
a win-win situation
My body tells me
When I can’t breathe deeply enough
When I can’t digest properly
When I am trying to escape
even if I am sitting very still
When I don’t expect anything from anyone
And have no interest in making anyone feel comfortable
Because that ship sailed long ago
Enter at your own risk
I can’t hold your hand through your discomfort
when I am in agony
I never asked for your hand
so don’t snatch mine away from me
