Taking Space
A crown cinquain poem about how self care is so important for my health
Self-care
is medicine
for my leaky pneuma
breathing, sleeping, resting
alone.
Times of
retirement to sit
and reflect on each days of the
brief weeks.
My eyes
are locked up so
tight that I can’t access
any of my sad, mental
images.
My ears
can’t hear any
deafening, disturbing
noise of war, turmoil, torture and
abuse.
My psyche
is healing like
fast magic that happens in one
hushed night.

Naive
Like playing a game of tug-of-war, I was always pulled in two opposite directions. I became blind and I never knew which side of the rope to take and remain on. I always asked myself, "Should I take the right side of wrong side?" I was as wise as a hundred universities, but I was tangled in a web of untrue facts. The web was challenging to undo and I remained stuck until I found my way out. I was naive and I was unable to stick to the mere truth. I would face the dumb way when I meant to face the smart way. As I bloomed and my wisdom grew as big as a globe, I abandoned the game of tug-of-war and picked the "smart side" of the rope. I was no longer glued to the middle. I knew my instincts, I just didn't know which side of the rope to hold onto.
