It
broke my heart
when you called me, dumb.
…
I didn’t feel very smart.
..
I had to make some art.
…
So my feelings
would not
go numb.
…
I know it was
your opinion.
…
I know it was
your word.
…
I think
we are
both smart
or
haven’t you
ever heard?
…
If I put you down,
I go down too.
…
If I’m not nice
then
I will feel blue.
…
If I want to be
positive,
if I want to
love life,
then I can’t be cruel
or generate
any stress
or
any strife.
…
Words make a difference,
I want to be careful
with what I say.
…
I wish to give
kind messages,
to be a light
on this day.
…
Did I tell you,
Jean,
that I think
you are keen?
…
I like when
you are nice.
…
It gives my heart
a happy sheen.
