If I Cover My Eyes
If I cover my eyes with my hands,
you can’t see me
crying while I eat a peanut butter waffle,
frozen
on my kitchen
floor…ed as feelings overwhelm me
because I see for the first time in a
very, long time
that it’s not them that need healing;
it’s me.

All of us need healing at times even though we don't know it. Healing of the body has a way of helping healing of the soul. (works both ways)
