Poetry

My family never understood me at all
What a pity to make someone so small
No longer do I fall because of your ignorance and cruelty
I’m a lot more than just my physical beauty
Expecting perfectionism while surrounded by toxicity and fear
Did you ever stop and take accountability or be sincere?
Questions I was born with and came so naturally
I wonder if it’s a curse to be this empathic so passionately
My boundaries are high and stronger as ever
At some point, I had to be more than just clever
A curse in the family of negating yourself
At the expense of those who never respect themselves
Yeah, respecting yourself means knowing how to respect others
It’s easier for them to point fingers at my struggles while they lack colors
Colors of imagination, empathy, and understanding
An artist with a purpose to make a difference in this world, you probably can’t stand it
Your ego stinks, and your mouth is foul
Don’t you think it’s time to let go of your scowl
My heart is big, big as the oceans
But of course, you can’t see while ruled by toxic emotions
A warrior risen knows there’s only love
Highly protected by mysterious beings above
It takes courage and strength to embrace it all
But perhaps that’s the point after all
