Misundersanding

Words taken out of context
Meaning misconstrued
Feelings fractured - yours and mine
Hearing turned off - 
but we are not that different
Are we?

For if we really took the time to think about the words we're about to say many times we will save our selves from having to retract what we have said. But instead we chose to respond right away without discretion causes emotions to flare and leaving us to wish that only if we would have said it another way. Your captured what we so many do so often. Simmplissity
