POETRY
As the music fills the room
all I want is my life to resume
the parents I had spent their lives mad
turning my potential into something less than sad
they all repeated how beautiful I was
yet none of them picked me probably just because
I've worked harder than any of the ones I know
finally I see my hard work is starting to show
I constantly made a fool of myself
just to put others feelings above my own on a shelf
it didn't matter how related they were
the only one they didn't want was her.
Breaking generational curses is harder than anything I could have imagined
A challenge so immense, it leaves one impassioned.
There are no rewards great enough,
To match the joy found in genuine love.
They didn’t come to save me, they didn’t come to help,
The only thing they did was ignore me and listen to me welp.
I let them take every bit of what I had,
Leaving me alone and feeling sad.
If this is the way that my life goes,
I’d rather give them their fake goodbyes and even a final rose.
