Reflecting what you feel today
It’s me and you forever
Even when you disappoint me
I never jet.

I’ve watched you cry so many times
wiping sparkly tears.

Year after year you lift those brittle bones off the ground.
Flipping frowns upside down.
Serving time to open palms.
Healing trauma with broken arms.
I’ve seen you last through strenuous seasons.
Cold as hell
I feel your wheezing.
Walking miles and barely breathing.

I’ve seen you fall,

I’ve seen you crumble,

I’ve seen you cry,

I’ve seen you stumble.

Yet

You stand right here in front of me today.

Stronger than ever,
built with brick,
stainless steel,
not broken sticks.

I’ve seen you shine through imperfections

Change your mind to new perspectives.

Nurse yourself like you’re an infant

Learn new patience

Preach forgiveness.

I just want to say that I’m proud of what you’ve become and where you’re going.


Love,

Self
