Don’t
Don’t look at me too closelyor watch what I am doing.
I might slip;
I might stumble;
I might fall.
Don’t hold high expectations
or think I’ve got it made;
I am weak,
I’m still fragile,
I’m not whole.
Don’t cherish preconceptions
of how I ought to act:
what I should think,
how I should feel,
what I should say.
Don’t assume that now it’s over,
that I am back to normal;
though I am better –
I’m not ALL better,
not yet well.
But if you want to walk with me
and pace your healthy stride
against my stumbling steps,
supporting one another,
to lend each other strength...
Then
we can travel
together.
