The Poet X

by Elizabeth Acevedo

Maybe, the only thing that has to make sense about being somebody’s friend is that you help them be their best self on any given day. That you give them a home when they don’t want to be in their own.

I’ll always have your back, and I’ll always protect your heart.”

“The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”—Psalm 119:130
