She Gave Me the Key Points

They came toward me as a snotty group of two Sniveling and snarling Complaining I could tell they had already been picking My innards out of my chest before I arrived I listened to them But did not hear Because their straight-lined angry mouths And their chicken pecking lips turned me off My mentor was listening. She heard what I could not. She gave me the key points and advice which I took, because she knows how to talk to me Buttering me up first, telling me I am not a damaged puppy. I took her advice, and I applied it because it was sound. Because it was good advice. And because she loves me And I love her. I had never been buttered up by the likes of her before. She took my angry mean thoughts about myself And she changed them up, making me seem Exotic, pointing out my sense of humor, Making me seem vastly witty and Wonderful. This was the difference Which is why I take all advice She gives because she loves me and I love her.
