Eyes

Let's not shame our eyes for seeing.

Instead, thank them for their bravery.

~~Joy Harjo~~

I have been brave in looking 

closely at my failings.

I have been brave in knowing

I need to change and I don't

care who knows it.

My eyes...my heart...my voice.

So much healing needed.

I have forgiven myself.

I now can only move forward.

My system was borrowed and flawed

and failed me deeply.

Now...I build the one right

for me.
