I had to learn
Not to take everything
Personally
I imagined whatever happened
Was because of Me
Years of experience
Taught me
Very few happenings
Were about me
I didn’t cause them
I couldn’t control them
I wasn’t in charge
With time and experience
I gradually learned
To ask myself
When something happened
“If this isn’t about me
What’s it about?”
My answer was much
Closer to the truth
When I grasped
It wasn’t about me.
