Roaring, Boring, & Other Ways I’ve Been

There is nothing wrong with you. There never was anything wrong with you. Wrong with the way you were treated, yes. Wrong with the words spoken to you, yes.

I know, too, you’ve spoken “wrong” words. I’m so glad you’re sensitive enough to know that. To reject speaking them again when you realized. To take responsibility and to do differently.

There was never anything bad about you. Bad about how you felt, yes. Bad about the things done to you and around you, yes. But, you? Bad? No.

You just are.
