speechless

She said,

Hmmmmmm….
So you think
it’s a character flaw
to have various aspects
to who you are…

It’s as if you feel
there’s only one
right way for you
to be.

I paused…

turned her
thoughts around
a time or two,
but couldn’t answer.

I was angry at myself,
because that’s what I did believe.

& I was angry
at whoever
taught me to believe it.

She said,
I think it’s wonderful.
You’re so multifaceted…
so dynamic.

I wanted to respond,
but never found the words.
