Thinking
1.
Sitting on your bed.
Thinking.
2.
Listening to your work.
Hearing you, knowing the sincerity of your words.
3.
Thinking.
4.
Discussion.
5.
Thinking.
6.
Repeat.
7.
Does it help you?
Maybe it’ll help me.
8.
Thinking.
Sitting on the floor.
9.
Hearing their words.
Admiring their unfiltered authenticity.
10.
Realizing it’s not always pretty and it will never be perfect.
11.
Writing.
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
Our world
