I don't mean to be petty
when I say I sometimes
feel like a refugee
I have some battered
under my bridges
I carry shrapnel
that only exists
embedded in me
Still just the same
when I wonder
about you and I
and your battle scars too
You have your own shrapnel
I can see that you do
Maybe that's why
I get along with you

Ah yes, it's like that old saying birds of a feather. Hopefully he will understand that and accept your feelings for what they are.

Feelings are funny that way, sometimes the last thing they want to do is let you accept them for what they are-feelings, just feeling- no more, no less. Thanks Jerry, it is always good to see you.
