23/F/Thailand I’m a full-time college student and a part-time poet in Thailand.
I have a lot of love to give to you, but I am scared my love will suffocate you. How am I supposed to love you gently when I cannot love myself? All the unhealed scars wake me up late at night. All the scream, the chase, and the dead. All the blood, sweat, and tears. All of it just to prove that my love is sick and twisted. Like the past that still haunting me. People always say you cannot love anyone if you cannot love yourself But what if some part of me the unwanted, the hard to love, the liability Want to love you dearly Want to prove that I am capable of loving you Even when I cannot love myself. I love you I know I do I know it is selfish I know it We both know it but I cannot help myself to stop loving you I love you but my love will hurt you. I love you and my love will bring you harm. So I keep it all to myself. So it can no longer hurt you.

The Late Night Confessions Letter To Whom It May Concern
What are you? They asked. I am who I am. I answered. But you are very difference from us. They pointed out. Yes, I know. I admitted. You are queer and weird. They said. Yes, I am queer, and I am weird but nothing wrong with me! I shouted back. They were kids and so was I. Why the world is so cruel to me? I am different. I am queer. But nothing wrong with that. NOTHING WRONG WITH ME FOR BEING WHO I AM I am not what they defined me. I am who I am, and I am queer.

Queerness
Just forgive him He is too old now She said We do not know how many days he has left I can forgive him, and so can you She said But momma— We are not the same, don’t we? You can forgive him for the sake of your late mother. But I am not. I am who I am. I forgave him too many times. I forgave him for my whole life— For you sake And your belief in karma. But there is a limit to what I can forgive him. Don’t you think? That your righteousness killing me slowly? Don’t you know I forgave him before? Momma, I am not as forgiving and loving as you. The man who was supposed to protect me, you, and your momma. He was, is, and will still be the evil of the story I told. Momma! See! Me—the only plant you ever grow Grow with The hatred that was nourished by your venom. Ha! Ma! You see it now? This plant is never growing in ecstasy like you expected But Momma, don’t you ever worry about it. It will grow as it should be— bruised and broken. The plant of forgiveness is what I am supposed to be. But I cannot be what you want me to be So I ended up being the plant of resentment.

The Plants of Forgiveness
Crush are the sounds of my heart— When you are tearing it apart. Crush are the sounds of my tear— When you are not being near. Crush are the sounds of my voice— When you said I am here just to fill the void. How could you love me? Is this just an act of kindness? When someone who should love me Only love me if I am being good enough for them? Am I good enough for your love? Am I worth your love, time, and kindness? Darling I— Who are you? How could you love me? Someone that broken beyond repair? Can you see it now? The despair I hold on to myself Like the sound of someone crush the wildflower beneath their foot with hatred. Crush

Crush
I will be back. She spoke. Where have you been? Where did you go? I wonder. Mommy, where is my sister? Daddy, when is she coming back home? I asked. Do you know my sister? She has a name. I can’t remember it! What does she look like? The officers asked. I’m sorry I can’t remember her pretty face. But she’s kind and sweet— the best sister on earth! She said she went to work. But she never comes back home. Can I stay with you? I’m scared you going to leave me Like she did. Hey! Sister! You said you went to work! Why did it take you so long? Why is your pulse not beating anymore? Why your skin looks pale? Why are you laying there In that scary chamber?

Stay
I am a stray dog. I am little and hungry. I am little and angry at the world. I am scared and fragile. Where did my mother go? Mother, I am hungry. Mother, I am scared. Mother, I am cold. Mother, where did you go? Mother, have you abandoned me? Mother, please help me. Mother, please come back. Mother, I am hungry. Mother, I am scared. Mother, I am cold. Mother, they're chasing me. Mother, they're hitting me. Mother, mother, mother. I am hurt. I am scared. I am fragile. Oh, mother, to be loved, to be seen, to be heard, to be treated the way I deserved. Oh, mother, they give me food! Oh, mother, I am full for the first time in my life! Oh, mother, why is my belly hurting? Oh, mother, why is my lung fuming? Oh, mother, why is my breath waving? Oh, mother, why I cannot see anymore? Oh, mother, the same hands that pet me are hitting me. Oh, mother, the hands that I thought gave me food took my soul away. Oh, mother, what did I do to deserve all of this? I just existed.

Stray Dog
As someone who was born in chaos. I did not know what it meant to be loved. So when I met you. As delusional as I am. As broken as I am. As naive as I am. I thought that our relationship was real. I thought that your love was real even though you do not exist. Loving you could not bring me any harm. I have to admit that I was wrong. Loving you is hurting me even if it is not something you intended to do. Loving you has suffocated me because as much as I hate to admit I know that someday I have to let you go. I have to let myself free. I cannot desperately live in the thought that Someday you will exist. Someday I can love you openly. Someday our love will be normalized. Because as much as I loved to be with you. I cannot cling to my unrealistic hopes Forever I am sorry that at the end of the day. I am only human. I am sorry that at the end of the day. I am selfish. I am sorry that at the end of the day. I want something you cannot give.

Storm In The Desert
I am twenty-three. But I feel like my life stopped when I was seventeen. Or even worse when I was much younger. The people who hurt me Seem to forget what they had done. While I am staying there. At that moment. For a long, long time. And maybe I will never leave at all. Is it my fault? Do you think it was my fault too? Do you think I am the one to blame? For everything that happened to me? Is it the consequence Of the recklessness. Or there is no one else to blame? So, you blamed me. But I was a child. How could you? How dare you? Did that to me? People were cruel and No one was there to save me, Cared for me, Or loved me. Seventeen feels like yesterday. It was the hardest time in my life. The time that I thought that End up in Acheron. End up in the river of the woe. Is greater than living. I will not say that time will heal All your wounds and traumas. But some day, You are going to live with it Eventually. With a calming heart and gentle soul. That was breaking beyond repair. Or with the rage that you never show. Or the wrong they did that you will never Forgive. Life is just the way it is. You cannot change what is done. You cannot change how people treated you. You cannot change how you felt. Neither do I. Aren’t we the strongest in Our family. My sweet little girl. Who has been lonely For her whole life. You are not what they say. You are not how people treat you. You were a child. Happy Birthday to us, My beloved friend.

Happy Birthday
Oh, my sweet child. Time passed, When you are growing up too fast. People always say You are a talented child. You are emotionally mature. You are wonderful, quiet child. But who knows? Deep down what you have been craving For your whole life? Am I good enough, Mother? Am I good enough, Father? Am I good enough, Grandpa? Am I good enough, Grandma? Why have you left me here? Scared and fragile? Like a helpless stray dog during the storm. Neglected and broken? Like a hatchling that broke its wings. Am I unwanted, Mother? Am I unwanted, Father? Am I unwanted, Grandpa? Am I unwanted, Grandma? Why don’t you love me? Why don’t you love me? Why don’t you love me? Why don’t you love me? Why don’t you care for me? Why don’t you care for me? Why don’t you care for me? Why don’t you care for me? Why did you leave me? Faced with the cruelness of the neighbors? Faced with the harsh words, Guilty and shame? Why did you let them treat me like that? Like an unwanted child. Like a burden of this Whole world. Independence from your distance. Is it a gift or a curse? Am I a gift or a burden? I am a neglected child.
