Diversity training made me think in stereotypes.
Being put in a leadership position made me a rebel.
Teaching helped me learn.
Learning helped me teach.
Medicine caused a new illness.
Faith made me ask questions.
Poison eased my pain.
I smiled at criticism
And winced at praise.
A friend hurt me
And an enemy helped me grow.
The sun blinded me.
Darkness helped me focus.
Having no choice freed me from worry.
Sickness helped me relax.
Depressing movies made me feel better.
I found anxiety at family gatherings
And comfort around strangers.
I wanted to be great but not famous.
Running helped me face my problems.
Losing encouraged me to improve.
The less I talked, the more important my words became.
By observing true animosity, I learned to demonstrate true compassion.
