have a random poem

[ysobel]

Sometimes
the world teaches us
to wear armor -- 
    spines -- 
        teeth -- 
            claws -- 
to be hard and sharp and 
let nothing in

Sometimes
it is worth remembering
how to be soft--
    tender --
        yielding -- 
            gentle --
to allow love and joy and
let the universe in

This is perfect. Thank you for posting this - i needed it today. I hope it was, in some way, cathartic for you.

May I, at some point, put this in a tumblr graphic for female characters (may be one, may be many - I'm trying to decide)? And if so, how would I credit you?
