“I first read this poem framed in the waiting room of the counseling center at my university in 2007. It took everything in me to walk through those doors and ask for help. Week after week, I’d read the poem to the point of memorization. I still go to therapy as a 37 year old and I still reference this poem as permission to just be part of the world.”
