Danusha Laméris, “The Heart Is Not,” in A Path to Kindness: Poems of Connection and Joy, ed. James Crews
[text ID: THE HEART IS NOT / A pocket. A thing that / can be turned inside out / by anybody’s hand. Not / a place for pebbles or loose / change. Not to carry old / receipts. It does not tear / at the seam. It doesn’t have a / seam. It cannot be torn.]
i think as adults it’s our responsibility to be nice to kids and treat them with the respect we wish we got at that age and im not kidding or exaggerating in the least
