truly alive

in the death of

my naïveté

i felt alive


---reborn


no one ever taught me to be mean

i believe no one told you that too

so why should you?


i cannot control the flowing of my sadness

i know that i am already a teenager

i don't need your reminders

but what if i am still a baby in heart?


i don't want you to lock up

all of my wonderful emotions

in a cage


now i don't want to say

i expect you to do

what i wanted

i don't dream

i don't wish

maybe i am jaded

the reasons are them


i want to apologize

to all the people i have called mean

you were nothing

compared to them


i did not volunteer to

record the ugliness of the world

it's you

who forced me into writing

the unseen

the coldness

and the reality


---thank you
