I look to you once again
to see if you notice my pain.
You look at me completely baffled
unaware of what I've battled.

Is it too much to ask for validation
for you to share in my frustration
I'm not asking you to understand
acknowledgement is all I demand

I want you to see that it happened
not live in ignorance and think I imagined.
They say 'It is what it is,' and that is true
I just want you to say that you knew.

I want to know that I'm valid
no need to sing me a ballad
Just tell me what I already know
no need to wrap it in a bow
Just be very avid
about the fact that I am valid.

Words don't work
Silence say

Te amo
Still today

Sometimes you get lucky and find a soul that grooves with yours.

Where do you start?

Pull my card

Pull at my heart with your hand, the counterpart

And is that heart on sleeve?

Is that a tacky tattoo or is that blood-achieved?

Or is that majorly mind imaginary and imagery?

Let me feel and see

Si or no for heresy

Unless you know beyond it’s only here you see

Are you hearing me?

Limited options with eyes to exhaust attempt see clearly

Your eyes aren’t storytellers but tell me what you see believe

You’re much like the rain,
You can be soft or heavy,
Or kind to my drought.

Feeling insecure?
That’s no reason to gossip about the others and be rude
Feeling two-faced?
That’s no reason to blame others and be rude
Have no self-respect?
That’s no reason to disrespect others and be rude
Have crippling self-doubt?
That’s no reason to doubt others and be rude

Rude to yourself?
That’s no reason to be rude to the others
