Become

Written by Jacob Ibrag

The little girl looked at her father

and asked him why she bled after collecting

a fresh cut from a sliver of paper. ‘Some people

like to think that it’s to remind us that our hearts

are still beating. I think it’s to remind us that

we can heal and become whole again.’

    I loved your poem. It was so beautiful. It sounds like the sort of conversation I’d have with my daughter. She’d always asking why and difficult questions.

    I love the message of your poem. You have a way of doing that. You also have a way of telling a good story in short poetry. If respect you for that. Keep up the great work!

    Cheers! ^_^
