Start with forgiveness
because it's the hard one
not picking at your scabs
let them itch
Tenderly treat yourself
like your dearest love
pull aside the velvet curtains
brush the hair from your careful eyes
All your furious passions, pet them,
soothe your tearful brow
allow yourself to be all you are
genius-fool, lover-hater, beauty-hag
wanter, wanted, wanting
Take baby-steps
toward the arms of peace
