I remember the day I realized my heart was healing
The first time someone said something off putting and without hesitation I said to myself “that has nothing to do with me”
Because it didn’t. It never had.
But because I didn’t know any better I internalized so much
Made it my responsibility to avoid the tripwires and land mines
To be the cause of peace and joy or to not exist at all
But that burden was never mine to bear
Because it was never about me.
