Crass assumptions

    Crazy as the day progresses, I was
heading for a relaxing evening until
a kind, low blow hits. Indeed as a woman,
I cried. It hurt but the ignorance
of the remark just shows how
imperfect we all are.

   Gathered around horrid assumptions
of others and their definition of class
and spunk or modern and stylish.

   Sad that I rate on someone's lower
scale but apparently the  me of the past
would have slapped you outright.
Insulted and deep pursuit of revenge.

   Alas I clothe myself better because
of the me of old. My prudish decorum
is decorated in plain, boring and very
simple lines only because one flare
will treat the idea that me of the past
is better, well desired.

  Sadly that anyone would insinuate
actually knowing a person and not
really having any idea. Truly to judge
where no right is allowed. Interesting.

   Perhaps the groove you are stuck in
replays your life over and over.
The necessity to impress, leads me,
to view the insecurities you so well
try to hide.

    The saddest of all was the kindness
I took in accepting your words as a
compliment. Truly makes me feel
loved that Jehovah saw I did change
my stripes for him. And you..

   Unfortunately the words do hurt.
Still I prayed for you. In hopes your
pain, whatever it may be, does subside.
As well as the bitterness you felt
inside you, falls.

   I can only hope that somewhere there
is an apology.  Yet, knowing what I have
learned, those words don't exist in your
thoughts. Such a sad turnover.

   Oh well your opinion was made. Your
axe was sharpened. For good, I hope,
because to strike love from a sibling is
cruel.

    And may I say I don't stand for
that.

   Perhaps I extend more prayers in
hopes even I am corrected.

   I am sorry you had to decide to be
nasty, cruel and ignorant in
your assumption. Perhaps this
is your area in need of improvement.
This I pray gets clearer and nicer.

  Until then you gain my distance.
I give with gratitude and happiness
that you showed your true colors.

  And I give my respect because it is
EXPECTED of me. I understand we all are
different. Indeed. You think you know
me from the likelihood of only 2
views a week. I am so saddens by your
misguided judgment. 

   I even go to the lengths of apologizing
for giving you the room to make that
assumption. Even more so is that I am
explaining myself to someone who
really, actually, doesn't care.

   Alas I pray for, the next time, you
ASSUME something about someone
you actually know them well. Until then
you learn to discern and be kind.

   As always my prayers are always
filled with positive. So don't be crass,
rude next time.
