Sun
You we're my sunshine
But then I remembered that the sun doesn't just shine for one person.

If there is a path
I will find it
No matter how hidden
I am not known to give up

I could feel my fathers gaze as I played with the food on my plate.

โ€œAspen, are you okay?โ€
The wire in my throat tightened,
rain poured from my eyes.
I can smile and say yes to anyone but you and mom.

Instead of plastering my face with labels to understand me
peel them off and actually get to know me.
Labels are stupid
I came down the up and up the down
ended up in the wrong side of town

I kissed a prince he turned into a toad
ended up on the wrong side of the road

I went to church to confess my sin
they slammed the door would not let me in

I found a witch, please, wave your magic wand
she said no your from the wrong side of the pond

Two tiger cats
On a windowsill
Watching leaves tumble
Across a crisp lawn
As the wind whispers
And a raven caws

I used to be afraid of wolves
Until I realized I am a lion

It takes courage to live
Even if you have to
Take it one day at a time

Each moment you try to survive
Takes you closer to the time
When things will be better
Inspired by the Taiwanese tv show โ€œthe victims gameโ€
Poetry seems to be
An imagination
Leading to an artistic creation.
The truth is
Each poem possesses a soul
Which is really eternal.

We live and die
But our poems
Never lie or die.
