OFF THE CUFF: When I Hear That Tone #PoetryPlace

when I hear that tone
signaling a message for me
took the time to read and answer me
what does it say
about my state
if that’s all it takes
to bring a smile to me
I don’t want to be needy
I work hard to make it on my own
but my whole-body prickles
when I hear that tone

If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, you may have a fresh start from any moment you choose, for this thing we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.

    1. True. I could never say that to them though.
