The Gift (I) by Valerie Parente
You didn’t break me
you broke down everything around me
so that I could see
what it really means
to be me.

Ripped Open by Valerie Parente
My heart did not break,
it was opened up.
Sometimes it feels like we’ve been destroyed
when we’ve actually evolved into better versions of ourselves.
