becoming - a poem about a painting

I'm becoming the person

I needed growing up,

the curious and non-judgmental,

the loving and supportive.

I'm becoming the parent,

the friend,

and the teacher

I could've only dreamed of.

Maybe, one day, when I've loved myself loud enough,

I'll be able to do the same for someone else,

but for now,

I'm becoming the person

I needed growing up.

This is an original poem written for the painting "becoming".

It reminds me that before we can teach someone else anything we need to teach ourselves. It's about starting with ourselves and not thinking about why that work matters to others, rushing ahead, because I can guarantee you others will benefit automatically, but first it's about becoming oursevles.

Art can be a powerful reminder.

That's why I believe art can change the world for the better.
