In response to an abused woman
People can be so beautiful on the outside yet so ugly on the
inside. The public and private selves should be similar. Not mirrors but
partial reflections of the other. It is the story of our faces, our many
selves. But in all of us, in all of our many selves, there must be a common
thread. Even those selves that are not so pleasant. Those selves we try to hide
away. Within our faults, there must be a connection. If not, then we are liars
and hiders of truth. For our true selves will always come out. And our most
extreme selves show our true nature for they amplify what we are, at our best
and worst. As a man, for the majority of men, I apologize for our failings. I
would wrap you in my arms. Tell you I am so imperfect but love you and all
women in spite of our failings and faults. We are out there. Good decent men
trying our best. When you are ready. When you desire. We will be waiting. With
flaws and scars and fear of failure but also with hope and heart and love of
all life. We are out there, searching and looking. For you.
