If only things hadn't changed
I guess I'm happy for you.
Actually, I really am.
At least, I'm expected to be.
Because, if you can't be proud
of one of your best friends,
can you really be proud of
anyone.

Losing myself
I'm lost in this giant world.
Surrounded by millions of people,
but at the same time, connected to none.
They think they can see right through me.
They think they know what I want.

Boundless
Today I woke up.
I stretched my arms,
brushed my teeth.
Just as I did every morning.
Except, something was different today.
I opened the foggy window
and took a look outside.

Maybe some day
Maybe some day
I will be as good
as the others.
Some day
I will be able
to look in the mirror
and feel pride.
Maybe some day
I will love myself
with no strings attached,

Silent Cry
I stare down at my hands.
They seem so distant.
Nothing is real

Immigrants
They came to this country
Seeking a better life.
They started
With a suitcase and
A one-way ticket.
They said goodbye to
Their friends

The Power of "Thank You"
On my first day of sixth grade, someone told me, “You’re the only person that has said that to me today.” You might be confused by what I just said, but I promise, you will soon understand.

waiting game
One of my best friends
a friendship that may never end.
Insanely close we got
and in my heart I have a spot
for you because you've been there
every single day
for you because you've cared for me

Story of my life
I could pretend to be happy
When the world is ending
And you'd all believe me
I'm a great actor
But never onstage
I can say I'm happy for you
Congrats that's so cool
When under it all

It's hard
It's hard
It's really hard
When there are so many people to balance all the time
So many personalities
So many conversations
Overlapping
Talking over each other
So many big emotions

Underwater
Underwater
it's nearly silent
incredibly quiet
all sharp sounds softened by the waves.
Underwater
all of the loud, nagging noises of life fades into a faint murmur
bearable for once.
