You call yourself a banana. Too white to be Asian, too Asian to be white. It's a fine line to walk, one that includes great scrutiny from both sides. It's difficult to explain how much I respect and adore the unique combination of both worlds that have made you who you are.

STOIC EVOLUTION. Content Warning.
this one is about relationships, across all levels of connections in the world. it's about changing the world by exacting control of myself and the community which i share, not trying to live anyone else's life but my own. accepting what is tangible and evident, and going from there. it speaks to understanding how connected and inter-dependent life as a whole is, but with a firm grasp on awareness of both responsibility for and authority of the actions i take and the contribution i make, even if and when mistakes are inevitably made.

Cropping lines
So I wrote this poem They wrote that it was cathartic and it really made me smile arctically I left all my severely abused crowd behind the curtain of their own chained stage and just became free in my own true self.

The Last Straw
I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you. You said you quit your job again? I'm pregnant, and you walked out? I found your stash of booze.

genuine pretender. Content Warning.
a genuine person is capable - no internalized external role. i'm not confused about me; i don't want to be authentic; i'm genuinely not pretending.
