Padre

Dad,
Father,
many more names.
Step-dad
That's the one I chose.

I realize that you are more of a father than he is.
You are dad, Padre, father, paternal figure.
etc

Scars

I suppose
I love my scars,
only because they've been there
through it all

Are you okay?

Are you okay?
Are you alright, are you fine, are you good?
Are you adequate, are you decent?
Are you emotionally stable, sleeping without crying, smiling because you want to?
Are you breathing without questioning, are you waking up without trying, are you eating without throwing up?
Are you reading this poem right now and thinking no?
Are you thinking for the first time, will I ever be okay?

You will be okay.
You will be alright, you will be fine, you will be good.
You will be adequate, you will be decent.
You will be emotionally stable, you will sleep without crying, and smile for the happiness blooming inside of you.
You will breathe without questioning, you will wake up to a new day, you will eat easily
You
are going to be okay.
So please smile sunshine
It’s a fine new day
To be okay :)

Bare and Transparent

we've discovered another bare and transparent soul like us.
We hear and fear the silence, unable to be one with the crowd.
I too once wanted the whole world to hear me,
to praise me,
to remember me,
giving them all and feeling emptier than ever.
I have sought after souls like me,
but I forgot that loud souls like us are the least to be heard.

And indeed,
it was in the moment,
in the fleeting,
that I noticed a quiet soul that must have felt everything,
and reflected their pain upon an indifferent world.

They must have seemed so distant and untouchable to the world,
but I can hear their pain, I can see their soul.
Every line every word of theirs is beautiful.

But, they are also so fragile,
so prone to pain that to love them,
I must never give up,
to make them feel warm,
to make them feel safe.

I have to love them like I have never been loved before.

My trophy

She's my best friend
Till the very end.
She makes me smile,
All the while.
When she goes away,
I miss her every day.
She cheers me up when I have a frown,
And turns that frown upside down.
She's always the one who knows what to say.
I promise you I'm here to stay.
We have so many memories
That are going to stay with me.
We've had so much fun,
And more to come,
You're my one and only trophy

No other friend

No other friend is quite like you,
No other friend could do exactly what you do.
No other friend could listen to my dreams,
No matter how weird it all seems.
You're the one who's there for me when I need a friend,
We're gonna be tight till the end.
We always have fun when we are together,
We always find something to do no matter what the weather.
No other friend could understand me like you do,
I don't know what I would do without a friend like you.

That boy

No matter what I'm feeling,
no matter what I say,
just a smile from that boy
brightens up my day.

He is one of my best friends.
I've known him several years.
He's been there for me for everything:
the smiles, the anger, the tears.

I love that boy to death.
He's been there through it all.
I know he has my back,
and he'll catch me when I fall.

That boy is my best friend.
Girl, you better treat him right,
'cause if you don't, I can promise
there's gonna be a fight.

I like him as a brother only!! We've been friends since birth, as our parents were friends. He got with the girl that he's had a crush on for a year. I don't like her at all, but he's told me time and time again that he'll be fine and that nothing could come between me and him.
