"How It Happened" by Biruk

-How it happened-

I asked the right questions to the wrong people.

I listened to what others said.

I stopped being curious.

I stayed silent.

I couldn’t find the right people to talk to.

I helped others at the expense of myself.

I gave my everything to get what I thought was right, not listening to my gut.

I stayed like that for far too long.

I let go of my truth.
