Maybe we change because that’s
the way it’s supposed to be.

Is it really our fault we change?

I mean we have people who
play with our hearts
and they play with our minds
like they’re games.

We have people who make us
better but leave, so we act
different.

Then we have events in our life
that traumatize us
so I ask again,
is it really our fault?

When he was first born his
parents looked at him like the
most precious human being, because he
was in their eyes.

When he was five he didn’t like to play
with cars instead he liked fashion.
His parents just thought it was because
he had sisters so, they just brushed it off.

When he was ten he had a
friend his name was Tom.
His parents were relieved he made a
friend since he was alone most of the time
and didn’t like to associate with other people.

Now, standing at the age of seventeen
he told his parent he liked men
and was dating Tom.
He was hoping they would be happy
for them; instead
they looked at him no longer precious
but disgusted.

They blamed him, and asked how he could
do this to their family.

How?

How could a parent blame their child for something they can’t control?

Saying goodbye isn’t the hard part.

The hard part is the after affect
where I finally realize that they’re gone,
out of my presence.

The hardest part is when I keep
wondering if they miss me as much as I
do and then I suddenly convince
myself that they don’t
because nobody
ever cares as much as I do
and I wish and hope that one day
someone will.

Oh, I really do hope
someday someone will…

People always leave
yet here I am
still getting attached
still surprised
still disappointed
and still haven't learned.

I have learned to accept
the freckles on my face that
people used to think were strange
for an Asian girl.

I have learned to accept the
flat nose that I inherited from
my dad that people used to make fun
of me for.

I am learning to accept my
thick bones that people mistaken for me being fat.

I have learned and accepted.
These things are a part of me.
The words that these people speak of
will just be words in the future because
I will EMBRACE my differences.

She seemed okay
until she entered her shower
where she crawled up in a
ball and just cried
because it was where
no one would hear
no one would know.

She exits with bloodshot
eyes and her parents just
think she got shampoo
in them, because that's
what she told them.

But those were just lies.

The mind always wins,
It makes me believe that I am insane
keeping me up at night making me
think and think until my mental
state is exhausted.

But when you walked in
the heart decided to fight
and it deceived me thinking that
choosing the heart is the right choice

but it wasn't

and this time

the heart won.
