I met her quite later on in life than I expected
I say met but it’s often shocking to realize I’ve known her for so long
even moments she’d crawl up the counters for cereal,
the first time she road a bike,
especially through all of the heart-racing moments, when her gut is fluttered yet she’s filled with excitement: all just to try new foods
even the lowest points of her light,
when others dimmed her spirit.
those moments in bed or the shower or any place of solitude.
a place to let go and mourn
break free from the shield built around her love
or maybe just take off the mask she so desperately wants to shatter
knocks at the door
one after the other
chanting my name
I’ve known her..
all along, she knew me
from the kindness I’ve shared, to the joyous moments I’ve basked in.
she’s seen the love and light I’ve spread
I want to be just like you
… she speaks?
thoughts of shame flood my mind,
sickened to my stomach
my souls overwhelmed
it’s not enough, she’s been through enough
she watched in her solitude,
through the chaos of my life
holding on to the little pieces of sanity that she could
I begged for ways out
I exposed her to the hopelessness in my eyes
I said no exhausted and with same no,
she seen the strength it took me to get my salvation, from each moment and every moment on
thumps to the head
tapping tapping
I’ve been here you know
when I was as small as her we would sit in my closet;
laughing, breathing, reading, and learning (one of our favorites)
as time went on and lessons become more and more difficult to understand
our connected ties were so far stretched
we seemed to forget about each other,
not purposely but just trying to survive
it was difficult to distinguish her innocence
was she ever with me? was I ever good enough?
when I finally found her again, she knew the moment would come
she grabbed ahold of my hand,
and walked at my side with pride in each of her steps
what’s next nana?
we created Kay G in these moments of separation
she needs this now more than ever
and when God gives you a helping hand we remember not to deny it
…she spoke
she is me and I am her
