Gregory Mims - My Paradox

I came to heal, but I
became sick.

I came to teach, but I
was ignorant.

I came to share, but I
had nothing.

I came to lead, but I
got lost.

I came to empower, but I
was weak.

My sickness healed me.

My ignorance taught me.

My nothingness fulfilled me.

My lost state guided me.

My weakness made me strong.

Gregory Mims
