February 23

There are days when I get flashes of clarity
I'm in awe of my brain
my body
my heart
and how they're all so capable
How did I become smart?
How did I learn to speak up?
Where did I find confidence?
Some days it feels like these parts of me
washed up onto shore like a surprise
covered in white foam and curly seaweed
All I had to do was clean them
and they became the center of my spirit
Other days I think they were there all along
growing inside me
I just couldn't see them
​until now
