i would like to pretend
i can stay put,
my heart is full and rooted.
i feel my love has grown great arms,
branches stretching to embrace the enormity of your passion.
even still, the seed blooms.
i will never out of shame
and also of guilt
and partially of care
but not of love.
i fear i begin to understand my parents
both of them sinners
does that make me a monster?

Whenever I walk in the rain I think of you
Of us.
We’re both 13 in the museum of science
Holding hands running through the rain exhibit
Testing how wet we get if we ran rather than walked

I’m 23 and you’ll always be 18

They learned to rebuild
Carrying the bricks on their backs
Memorized a whole new language and ignored people’s attacks
Nos enseñaron español
Visitamos Mexico cada año
Nos dicen “ponte un suéter
Porque el frío hace daño”
They made us who we are
A mosaic of two places
Feet firmly planted in both
Pride written across our faces

I wish I could turn my tears into Christmas lights
So I could decorate my parent’s home without spending a dime
Maybe each light represents a day I needed them and
With each tear a new light pops up and I fear we are running out of time

If you keep pushing me away
You won't find me where you left me
————————————————————
My heart is not big enough
To deal with people
Who decide to love me
Only when it is convenient for them

I cut my hair
It’s better than cutting something else
…
Me

But Im afraid I don’t have much hair left

Sometimes you are unfair to me
my attitude problem
is always seemingly an issue for you
but I seldom ever speak on when
you make me feel.............
less than a person
you make me feel small
-------------------------------------------
and you make it seem like
everyday I have an issue
I don't.
YOU do
