【Poetry of Learning: Words to Help You Breathe a Little Easier】I won't leave you just to scold you; I'm here to stay.

Did you mess up again?

It can't be helped, I suppose.
I'll comfort you.

Huh?
You don't need it?
You're telling me to go away?

Are you serious about that?
Even though I'm trying to be so kind to you?

Oh well,
fine, fine,
I get it, I get it.

Then I'll go somewhere else,
big brother.

Frustrated by the pathetic situation,
I swung my right hand back with all my might

and slapped my partner on the left cheek.

Words I read long ago
echo in the back of my mind.

“Have a heart that feels shame.
Those who always carry that within themselves
can stand anywhere.”

My partner is holding their left cheek,
eyes welling up with tears.

I gently
placed my hand
on my partner's shoulder.

“You idiot. Don't try to carry it all alone.
I'm here, aren't I?
I'm always on your side.”

My partner's shoulders began to tremble slightly.
I hugged my partner.

“It's okay.
You are working harder than anyone else.
I know that better than anyone.”

Everyone makes mistakes.
If you don't look away,
there is a path forward.

I
will not abandon you.

Even if it's just a little,
towards something better
than yesterday.

That is
what I can do.
