Pumpkin Patch

We returned to the classroom
after a field trip, and drew
pictures of something we found
interesting.  I loved the pumpkins
scattered throughout the hillside.
The white ones were beautiful,
but I still like the “yellow orange”
ones.  They make the best 
Jack-O-Lanterns.  Missy Johnson
drew a whole field of pumpkins.
Then she took a black crayon
and scribbled all over her paper.
Who is she mad at today?

Taking care of myself doesnt come naturally. 
Cutting ties and removing myself from the situations I know will hurt me.

Its hard for me to deny forgivness.
Even to those who least deserve it. 

You call me weak, but I see myself differntly. 

Made brave by the way the world has treated me. 

I have let go of those who have hurt me. 
But I continue to love them fiercely.

Protecting myself isnt easy. 
But neither is loosing myself to heartbreak.
