They come to us Through spoken words That work their way Into the mind, Burrowing deep, Taking root… They come to us In written text Stirring emotion Through resonance Or triggering, Planted as a seed… They come to us Through negligence, Expectations failed, As needs unmet Become resentment, Lacking safety… They come to us Through affection, Often lack thereof, Touch or violence, Gift or omission Speaking volumes… Be careful with These messages, Precious few Are worth believing.
