I scrub and scrub,
until my skin stings,
wondering why,
I don't look "clean,"
darker skin, darker hair,
they've led me to believe
there must be something ***** here

You said I'm the only one in the world,
but I realize, I'm not the only one in yours,
A lump in my throat,
why do I still believe you?

they said, if it hurts you,
then it's not worth you,
then why do I want you to stay,
even if just to hurt me

They spread a rumour,
once,
that I can't tie my shoes,
twice,
that I can't jump rope,
thrice,
that I have fat fingers,
and then I wasn't around to hear it anymore.

it departs from him,
the most beautiful song,
lullaby melody,
the sweetest hum,
a sense of melancholy,
my tummy's butterflies flit around,
he sang his song,
I sang along,
he stole my butterflies,
and went along

I finally mustered the courage,
to wear a blouse a size smaller,
until I saw myself in the mirror,
and I heard a light chuckle

I saw this once,
in Philosopher's Stone,
that the wand picks the wizard,
not the other way around
I realized today,
at the bookstore in town,
that the book picks the reader,
not the other way around

I was brooming below the bed once,
and suddenly swayed
a flashback rushed my head
we used to play that game,
do you remember?
until dementia took you away

"why can't I be a man that likes pink,
why can't I be a woman that likes to surf the wind,
why can't I be a man that cries tears of joy,
why can't I be a woman that's not a mommy
why can't I be a man, without toughening up,
why can't I just be
be a human"

I want to stand,
on solid ground,
a canopy covered cloud,
to dream all day-round,
I want to live,
my best life,
and breathe,
like there's only,
today
