The Jerk Factor

Truth is:
I lack the maturity
the strength
or presence of mind
to come up with the immeasurable
grace
needed
to ignore the hurt

How shall I learn
where is my example
how long will it be my fault?
how shall I stand under this burden
long enough to
forgive you
for its placement

truth is
I'm no superwoman
I am just a child
like you
and all I need
is a little grace
of my own
