The sacred You

There is a Room inside of you
that you must sweep every day

for crumbs of Self-violation:

Hurtful words
Judging Eyes
Impatience with your Journey.

If you keep this room pristine,
no one

no friend,
no lover,
no sister
no brother
no father
no mother
nobody

can harm the real you.

The sacred you.

Not even yourself.
