I have never changed, Even though it seems like that I have been changing constantly. But it’s only because I have to leave Everything holding me back.
I said goodbye to the society, Which takes away my dreams. I said goodbye to the society, Which tells me that I am wrong most of the time. My soul has been away from my physical body Since I was a little kid.
My physical body left my family When I was 16 years old. I thought I took my soul with me, But actually, My soul has been traveling around the world Without me.
I said goodbye to my peers, Who are too childish and selfish. I said goodbye to ignorant people, Who are lazy and close-minded. Now I have a strong network of Kind, Helpful, Open-Minded, Hardworking, And Smart people. Who Inspire, Care, and Act.
They teach and remind me to love myself, And they love and support me. I am still alive Not only because I have never given up, But also because of everyone I have met in my life. People who love and support me. People who hate and destroy me.
I am thankful for having all of you in my life. Because of all the contradictions and differences, I know who I am and what I want. Because of all of you, I have the courage to say goodbye to Everything holding me back.
A poem to myself and First Unitarian Universalist Church of Indiana, PA.
