From scratch
pampered
warmth, love

Rise

Fall
i know i am not good
i hear it in your sighs
hear it in your heavy feet
see it in your tired eyes

i know this and more
i  know and i try
i'll stay up all night
fix the wings, make it fly

i know your hate
your resentment is sincere
i am not good
i am the reflection you fear

dear mom, i know
i am not good
i hate and i love
far more than a daughter should

It can be a soft 'ah ha' moment
when doors open
and light floods in.

My heart ran away
with all the love I could give-
it's out there, somewhere

Her heart is a country
foreign to me.
I am just a traveler
admiring its beauty
in all its culture and
history.

Liberal arts will always seem to carry forward messages which are unpalatable to a mathematician, except rules of language and the enactment of equal rights.

I probably did drugs and injured my brain so that I could love liberal arts and get the full breadth of life.
Now I find once again its inexactness revolting.
All their words are dependent on the right feeling, at the right time, in the right place.

It is so true that I write my own narrative, and it won't be until my last breath that my highest ideal is vindicated.
Yet now this very poem on this very website makes these implications hypocritical.

I watch her

Aishu
I watch her,
Enveloped in pain
Soaked in tears
Suppressed in emotion
Hidden in action
Absence in presence

I watch her,
I watch thee self
