You Verse Me
You are not broken
You are not alone
You have never been without
You have only been unseen
You have carried what was heavy
You have held what others dropped
You have walked when roads disappeared
You have survived what tried to end you
You are the storm that stayed standing
You are the wound that learned to speak
You are the night that refused morning
You are the love that still believes
We have all been here before
We have all knelt at the same altar
We have all bled the same silence
We have all called it by different names
This is not my poem
This is yours
This is not my story
This is the one you never told
You verse me
And I verse you
And together we are
The language the world forgot
