its reckoning isn't it that we assume so much about others
only in order to realize that it is our pain
our mirror
reflecting and looking back at us
different cultures show me how much my american culture
has been so toxic
and indocrinated me in many ways
that are unhealthy
I have pushed so many people away
all because they loved me
saw me and honored me
and I couldn't see it .
because I was so hellbent on hurting myself.
wow life is truly shocking isn't it
maybe learning to have fewer words is the way .
