it was not me.
I only take credit when
I see opportunity.
I slept, I wept,
I don't know what came over me.
I acted as anyone would,
I reacted, in the situation, as
I should.
I got an epiphany, and then
I got sick.
I had an opportunity, but-
I had a cold.
I warmed to the idea,
I was on fire-before-
I was in denial.
I took a chance, I stole a glance,
I found truth.
I healed and I grew.
I thought
I knew-
None of these things
I really do.
