-
The emotions inside my brain felt like they were in a tumble dryer,
-
Smashing into each other.
-
The hurt felt like when I accidentally stapled my lips together.
-
The reason I forgive you is because you are not perfect.
-
You are imperfect, and so am l.
-
All humans are imperfect, even the man outside my apartment who litters.
-
When I was young, I wanted to be anybody but myself.
-
Dr Bernard Hazelhof said if I was on a desert island
-
then I would have to get used to my own company -
-
Just me and the coconuts.
-
He said I would have to accept myself, my warts and all,
-
And that we don't get to choose our warts.
