I was a boy.
As a  boy/girl   I don't need to fit
Your descriptions. I don't need to be
Published. I don't need a date to take
With me

To the dance.

I won't need to worry; Won't need to look
At you,
Won't need to be married
Civilly,
Or inside a church
Don't have to be elected.  I can just dream
For my entire life

No one
Looks here toward my direction often.
Like the plant which seems to have only little direct
sunlight
Then, I prefer to find myself reaching
upward

My own eyes flicker

And then they will close
As if it's their task.
This day was my birthday
One year ago
Today.
That day is rare
Trying like everyone else  -

Just
Trying only to
See
How old that they can get
While you
Turned 80

Some days
My burdens are heavy
Awkward and painful to carry
Weighing me down
Making me struggle
Just to want to take my next breath

Some days
I am surprised
By the contentment in my heart
The adventure of living
Finally seems a good plan
And I breathe in deep
Maybe the good days
Fleeting as they may be
Are worth fighting
Through all the pain

Today

I don't want to cry today
I don't want to hurt myself today
I don't want to live in darkness today
I don't want to hate myself today
I don't want to hate others today

I don't know why,
But I know

I want to smile today
I want to be kind to myself today
I want to bask in the light today
I want to love being myself today
I want to love others today

I don't know why today is different
But I'm so glad it is
May this be a record to remind myself on the bad days that good days do come

Just keep on studying
Continue to edify your brain
Knowledge is power
There is more for you to gain
Put yourself on a path to greatness
Just open up your mind
Enrich yourself accordingly
Be gentle and kind
