In Control

My meaning was mistaken and her offense was taken so in defense she quarantined her soul, and safe inside she set her screens for self-protection, so she is always in control.

I think this is a poem most will relate to as the self protection walls are something most put up at one time or another. Sad that people don't always allow one to explain. Interesting slant on a common problem. Have a wonderful weekend. Karen
