Thick Skinned

I find myself,

In a situation.

Not of my making,

Or, creation.

 

Human beings,

Make mistakes.

Most understand this,

Other’s don’t partake.

 

Some fluff it off,

With a grain of salt.

Other’s point fingers,

Always find fault.

 

None of this,

Matters to me.

My assignment,

Seek a remedy.

 

Bring the news,

To whom that’s lost.

Time and money,

The actual cost.

 

When I do,

I prove my words.

Back them up,

Then move forward.

 

Next time can this,

Be avoided?

Understanding,

Is then afforded.

 

No jumping to,

False accusations.

A mature approach,

For all occasions.

 

Nonetheless,

There’s always those.

Just can’t get past,

On their face, their nose.

 

Yell and fuss,

Act like a kid.

Because of what,

Someone else did.

 

But, don’t go to them,

They yell at me.

“You’re the one,

Behind the catastrophe!”

 

I stand my ground,

Do my best,

Be sure to wear,

My bullet-proof vest.

 

Like a duck,

Let it roll off.

My skin will grow,

Like leather, so tough.

 

I don’t pull info,

From out of my armpit,

I deal with the facts,

And, don’t take any shit.
