10 Years. 10 You

i consider this a creed;
to be kind and be kind to.
a good man i am indeed
and the strangest part is i never knew

how this tradeoff could change you –

from a balloon to a ball
to the fall of a wrecking ball,
to a bone stuck in the throat
and denying even under oath.
i could have been better at apology.
