All There is to Learn
When I was younger
we frequently butt heads,
as I grew older I realized
it was not because we were different
but because we were so very similar,
your triggers were mine,
the tones which hurt you
would pain me,
when I was hiding an aspect of myself
you sensed something was wrong,
your questioning sparked a storm
until I let you in
soothing my soul,
now
you sense my emotions
before I have processed them,
you comfort me
as I jump to protect you,
I am learning more of our similarities
seeing myself in you,
you’ve become my best friend
and while we still clash at times
I am learning to humble myself
asking your opinion
out of curiosity and respect
acknowledging all there is
to learn from you
