no one is ever,

nobody –

everyone is always,

someone.

bizarre –

presumptions;

indecently – audacious!

what mirror,

broken,

persuaded you to focus on the fractures?

surely you realize –

the cracks;

visible scars,

evidence of healing…

yet there you remain –

self contained.

defiant in your arrogantly-assumed piety.

compassion safely contained behind a transparent veil!
