The greatest thing I ever did for me
was forgive myself
for being human
for being weak
and wrong
and scared
my monsters
fear, apathy, and self doubt
never left
I just accepted them
like accepting the pain of a wound
as part of your body
and your body as an integrated portion
of your mind
a hand an extension of your soul
So I take the broken parts of myself
and build around them
like a garden growing over
