When the Silver Sheep fights

When you fightYou cover hurt with pride.A jewel doesn't show its scratch. But it remembers for a long time.

How you're misreadPeople call you fussy.You're not fussy. You just hate seeing precious things handled carelessly.

Your strength in a conflictYou treat the bond as precious.You don't skate over things, so you cherish a bond for a long time.

What Cancer addsYou go into your shell.Cancer water makes your heart bruise more easily. Before you hide: "I'm hurt."

One small stepInstead of "I'm fine": "That hurt a little."
