…taught me to hold onto my truth
Taught me truth is medicine
Taught me that when I break the shattered parts expand
Taught me to allow, and melt, and love
Into the cracks
Taught me not to hide
Taught me I am allowed privacy
Taught me, I’m not so special
Taught me to listen to the hearts of others
The pain of others
Taught me that if I only had one more day….
Taught me not to live through planning and goal attainment
Taught me it’s worth it to stop,
And walk back to see the pretty light on ice
Taught me WHY I live
