I have this one
enemy,
who I hate so much.
I don't talk to her
during clases;
I avoid her during lunch.
She hated me,
I hated her;
we both hated each other.
I've done
no bad to her,
she's done
no bad to me,
but we just didn't mix,
and that
was clear.
I don't know
why I hate her so much,
but to me,
she always looked like
a bad image.
That was all until
my math teacher did something
against my will.
She sat us together;
my enemy and me.
I didn't think that I'd get through
that class,
but I did...
barely.
The next day
I hated my enemy even more
than ever before.
I hated her so much
I wanted her
to go straight
to hell.
But soon
something changed;
I'm not sure what,
but I could tell.

I find it surprising  
that animals can sometimes
understand us
better than people.
Their eyes;
full of love and hope.
Their attitude;
showing care and gentleness.
Words are not needed
for them to tell us their love for us.
And yet we,
humans,
cannot love each other
the way animals can love us.

My mind
is like a leaf,
lost in the wind.
It is here,
                                      there,
   everywhere.

I have learned
that I cannot be
everywhere at once.
And that I need
to save some time
for myself.

Why do you want me to change?
Do you not like who I am?
Do you not like
the way I speak,
the way I look,
the way I try to get strong from the weak?
Well I have news for you,
my friend,
I won't change,
because I like myself
just the way I am.

No pain
            no gain.
