Rest

You taught me quiet.
You taught me pride.
You taught me contentment.
You taught me secrets.
You taught me faith.
You taught me honesty.
You taught me embarrassment.
You taught me inspiration.
You taught me desperation.
You taught me vulnerability.
You taught me compassion.
You taught me self loathing.
You taught me hope.
You taught me trust.
You taught me rest.
And all of the rest.




And I would walk as long and far as these tired legs would hold,
may it be the doorstep of your home, need it be my death
