I am not one to be easily offended
                    
               My compassion kicks in  
                                            
                                     Bitter words can only come from a bitter source



So instead of feeling hurt for me,

I feel hurt for you...

I wonder, what happened that made you temporarily be so?

If it makes you feel any better, then please, continue to throw your darts

and then when you're done, I'll brush off the poison

and give you nectar in return,

for you are in NEED of something sweet

you need it, more than I do, I'll make some more for me later.

So I will do my best to make sure you leave with a full jar of it.



In fact I'd only get offended
                     IF you insult or harm others...
                                         only because I'm not sure if They can handle it .*

If I won't be there to explain what had just happened,
that they were not the real target.
That you were the one who felt so much pain
that it overflowed from your lips
that you had no control
that all you needed was a pretty flower
a loving smile to erase that unwanted stain.
