Turtle

A friend described her husband

As a turtle, for his lack

Of taking things to heart; they all

Just roll right off his back.


I’d like to have that quality

But that’s not how I’m made.

If something hurts my feelings,

It goes deep and doesn’t fade.


To shrug it off or let it go

Is what I don’t do well.

In turtle form, I’d likely have

A crack within my shell.
