Diplomacy the I'Lyzette
The painted Words:
When a bamboo bends over backwards, keeping her peace,
it does not mean that her sense of balance’s decreased.
The wound that was inflicted though unintentional
would have healed had a passerby thought more considerately
than to snap it to rigid position after the storm has ceased.
What I wrote:
When one tries to understand just to keep the peace,
it does not mean that her sense or spirit’s decreased.
The hurt that was inflicted though unintentional
would have gone had another thought more considerately
than make a speech about it right after the trouble has ceased.
