tell me who you’ve forgiven
and who not
and why one got it
and the other didn’t.
or who hasn’t forgiven you
and whether or not
you can forgive they’re
not forgiving you.
how many times have you
molted, shed a skin
and transformed yourself
into someone new?
so much energy is put into
making homes pretty
or pleasing the boss,
the co-workers and of course,
the customers.
I love the wild creatures
that don’t have to play games
to get liked.
so we’re going to make mistakes
don’t you think a part of kindness
is telling the truth, risking the hurt
and making pearls out of the sand
grains that get up each others’ butts?
