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

It's OK to take care of me too

Sometimes I feel trapped
by my own decisions

when I should have said “No”

Times I was silent
when I really wanted to talk

Times I said “Sure”

Times I stayed

Times I said “OK”
when I wanted to say “No way”

Times I smiled
when I wanted to scream

So many times.

Intent vs. Impact

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.
