I am a misfit
and I'm okay with that
I mean, I have to be
I don't want to blend in
and be the same as everyone else
I don't like clean girl makeup
but it's okay if you do
I like bold makeup
and it's okay if you don't
I am unique and different
sure, it might be hard to make friends similar to me
but I'd rather have little to no friends
by being myself
than having lots of friends
by being someone else
I may be lonely now
but it's even lonelier being someone you're not
I'm a misfit
and I'm okay with that

I weep as often as I laugh
not from sorrow, nor from joy,
but because the world hums,
and I refuse to be deaf to it.

The world
shall always be:
they, you
and me

I am more words
than body
I can't stop
writing poetry

Don't under-estimate
the power of negative thinking
in negating the non-essentials
it is superior to positive thinking

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.

I have loved you
From the moment our eyes
Met across the crowded street
On that scorching summer day

And though summer
Soon came to a bitter end
I have loved you through
Every season ever since

And I guess I always will

Last night,
when I closed my eyes,
I saw the moon
so full and so bright.
I fell asleep smiling.
