Never Meant Any Harm

Never Meant Any Harm

I knew that there was a possibility that I would,
but I never meant to hurt you with my words.
I never meant any harm.

I never meant to push you away,
but somehow I did.
I understand though, at least a little.
Some hard feelings take a long time
to break through,
that is, if they ever are broken through.
Plus you don’t even know me that well

I am that I am, and I just want
to be the best me that I can be.
In doing that I want to help
those around me with all that
I have in me.

I want to be there,
But I keep getting pushed away,
And that’s not something I can just brush off.
I can act like I do,
But that’s not something I can just
brush off.

I understand though, at least a little.
My way of expressing myself is offensive to you,
even though I try so hard not to be,
There’s something about me that rubs
you the wrong way, and I’m seeking God
to help me fix it,
that is, if it’s meant to be fixed.

I just wanted you to understand how I felt
Without holding it in like I always do,
like I always do because of fear,
fear of those feelings being rejected and
tossed away for the garbage man
to pick up on Wednesday afternoon.
