I am walking in the shopping center, heading toward an upscale grocery
What will I bring home for dinner without cooking is on my mind
I am stopped by a man with a smile
Hello. Hello. My smile is small. Confused.
Am I supposed to know him?
How can I know him when I don't know myself?
Are you married?
What?
Are you married?
Yes.
Perfect! Want to have coffee?
What?
You're on your way into this shop and so am I ...
Let's have coffee
I think not
Actually I think nothing
My mind is blown
Guess it doesn't take much to blow my mind
He accepts autonomic rejection with ease
(My rejection of him or my rejection of self?)
I'll bet your husband can't wait to get up
Every morning just to see how pretty you are
Though insecurity runs deep ...
Stupefication is not stupid, through and through
Though my mindset rejects the compliment, my ear can hear it
Now laughing—actually laughing out loud, I reply
That's the best line, yet—
Bottle it and your fortune is made
I run into him at the grocery from time to time
Coffee? Smile
Smile. No thank you
You're sure?
Very sure :)
Somehow, encounters such as these ...
Where I employ words like 'no thank you' with ease
Cause yesteryear's pain to feel less scary—
And as fear of sustaining a brow beating lessens
And layers of my defensive wall soften and slough ...
My subconscious need to roar lessens, as well
Why? Well truthfully, I don't know for certain ...
However, I'll bet this positive change points toward
Submissiveness gulping down dollops of high self esteem
And when I figure all of this out, you'll be the second to know
I'll be the first ...:)
Gosh, I sure hope that writing every feeling and thought will unlock the door
Behind which lie slices of high self esteem ... waiting to stand, tall and free ...
