Sometimes
I get so busy
making sure everyone
has what they need
making sure everything
gets done as it should
making sure everywhere
has been shopped or cleaned
that I forget to
STOP.
And I forget to
BE
making sure
I take care
of everyday me

Sometimes I feel trapped
by my own decisions
Times I said “Yes”
when I should have said “No”
Times I was silent
when I really wanted to talk
Times I said “Sure”
when I meant “Nope”
Times I stayed
when I really wanted to go
Times I said “OK”
when I wanted to say “No way”
Times I smiled
when I wanted to scream
Times.
So many times.
But here’s the thing
I must remember
I can change my decisions
at any time
and I’m never really trapped after all.

I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings
I didn’t mean for you to take it that way
I didn’t mean to make you sad
I didn’t mean for you to react like that
My intent was not to hurt
My intent was not to bully
My intent was not to get my way
I don’t think it was…
because usually…
My intent was not about you at all.
But my impact?
I did hurt your feelings
I did make you sad
You did react
You did take it that way
And that’s what matters
My impact.
And that’s what I need to be aware of
My impact.
And that’s what I need to repair
My impact.
Because no matter my intent, my impact hurt you.
And I am very sorry.
And let’s talk.
so we can use words and language
to bring my impact
in line with my intention
and heal.
