I claim to hold the plumb
line
but give no room for error;
too harsh a measure,
my way alone
Always ready for battle
eager to pick a fight
wanting to beat my opponent
not listening to her heart
Ready to share her anguish
speaking the painful truth
but raising her voice in
anger
leading to my rebuke
How I want another way
but the ruts have become
deep
so like I was then
so like me now
Too harsh a measure
my way alone
when she is her own person
I just wish in softer tones
