Beauty and strength in healing

Chipped away at

Knocked and bruised

Slowly paling

Slowly shrinking

He is big

He is strong

He is the boss

He will decide

I am small

I am weak

I am not good

I need a lesson

Slowly chipped away at

Knocked and bruised

Slowly paling

Slowly shrinking

Another bang

Another bad

More words to a broken heart

But

Now I am bigger

Now I am big

No more hurt

And no more pain

Stop

Healing and mending

Beauty in the cracks

Filled with gold and stronger than before

Light catches the cracks and shimmers

My light is eternal

My pain is no more

By understanding ones own biases we can better overcome them and make sure that we are aware of any biases or prejudices that occur in the environment at school. By role modeling good behavior we can ensure that children see and understand the importance of treating one another with respect and tolerance. Celebrating one another's differences and similarities.
