Take your time with me
Don’t skip over my complexity
then fall into frustration
with my complication
of the common place thought
Don’t get caught
in black and white constraints
when my thinking paints
my reasoning in shades of gray
and my words are easy to say
but sometimes hard to understand
Just take my hand
and take your time you’ll see
Your heart will understand me

Now this is a most insightful write!  Well done, Lori!  If only we were all attuned to the heart and the hands what a wonderful world this would be - no misunderstandings at all.

WoW! You make yourself out to be a difficult person to deal with. Are you?

well...I don't think I am difficult except for those people that are very black and white thinkers because I am so gray.
Actually I think I'm very easy to get along with.

Ya'll mean pixelated or pixilated, I remain respectfully confused.
