Review All That Happened On That Day
When Someone Feels You Did Them Wrong
The morning begins like any other morning
Little did you know controversy would soon strike
You would be in the middle
In a battlefield of words
None of them any good
The more contact the deeper the enemy lies
It is not what what was said but what was the meaning
As work continued
The bottled up anger began to turn to out right rage
I was called a side to explain myself
Hours ago it was a good day
No problems
A coworker had recently lost a family member
So I remained helpful and I bent over backwards to make things easier
During such a difficult time
In the past I have also dealt with a similar situation
So I knew only to well
How hard it can be
Small talk led to conversation
It began to get busier and busier
Emotions flared up
Tensions grew
An uncalled for aggressive verbal attack
Mystery led to confusion
As I tried to explain
I was told to go away
In very unpleasant tone and words
Rehashing old wounds
I once again tried to clear the air
With no avail
Silence seemed the best solution
Lots of instant thinking
My mind raced
I really don't know what your talking about
This is ridiculous but certainly not to you
I do not like being insulted in front of my coworkers
It was not fair you didn't let me talk
Your nothing but a bully
Trying to get your way
Forcing your opinons on other people
What you think
Simply isn't true
You jumped to conclusions
Making false accusations
You assumed the worst
I remained calm
Being exhausted from the night before was a great helper
I tried to avoid all confrontation
When each opportunity arose
When we would be in too close for comfort
I decided to avoid all proximity
Going out of my way
Avoiding the unavoidable
Once again managers turned a blind eye
Only his superior approached me with concern
Saying if this can't be solved
We have to go to the next step
I was more than understanding
I could see my fellow workers frustration
I was asked if I provoked the incident
I did not
We were just two men talking
As we parted ways
We shall see what happens in the next few days
When we meet again
I am hopeful things will blow over
Since it was a gross misunderstanding and blown way out of proportion
I am willing to move forward
It is not up to me
Work back to normal
As my shifts are opposite
I have many more things to focus on
That better deserve my concentration and attention
