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.
