"Thank you"

Thank you, for teaching me
the right time to walk away,
to vigorously tend my boundaries,
to refuse to shut up, shrinking,
dimming my light so yours looked
brighter didn’t serve either of us.

Thank you, for teaching me
the right time to walk away,
to vigorously tend my boundaries,
to refuse to sacrifice my physical
and mental health of the altar
of local authority youth work.

Thank you, for teaching me
the right time to dive deeper,
to vigorously tend my cerebral
cauldron, to know how to brew
it up and how to say stop little pot,
stop, thank you too for the Bell Jar.

Exactly when will we no longer need these lessons?
