In Control

...for Stephanie

 
My meaning is mistaken
and her offense is taken
so in defense she quarantines her soul,
and safe inside she sets
her screens for self-protection
so she's always in control.

That's women, almost without exception. Being a man who stumbles with words, I have most often met the sort you speak of. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver

Extremely worried about a dear friend. The problem is it is difficult to talk. So many things that I need to explain. I'm crying beacuse I think I may have done something wrong and I need to know what the offense was, if there was any. Got any suggestions. Please. Love Robin
