Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Get Better Together

When people say hello
You shrink away
Scared of messing up
You look for an escape

When people complement you
You don’t know what to say
You beat yourself up later
Convinced you’re a mistake

I understand
because I do those things
I too try to fly
with broken wings

We both hate being this way
We both want to be better
So let’s start working for it
And we’ll get better together
