Smarter

You are smarter
than you think. Higher than the Alps.
You are smarter
for learning from your mistakes. You
are wiser for asking for help
instead of ending up like kelp.
You are smarter.

Never Meant

I never meant
to hurt your ego. The message
I never meant
is why you judge instead of wait
to decide what chapter or page
to transfer your awesome passage
I never meant.
