1.An emotional, impulsive, reactive, derisive blade of words2.
3.With a budding sense of discomfort, I thought, “Something’s wrong”
4.But what is it? I don’t understand
5.An alienation crawls through my heart like tangled threads
6.And little by little, unease deepens in color7.
8.Emotional, impulsive, reactive, derisive words—
9.“You’re different,” “You’re strange,” “You’re weird”
10.Their stares pierce me like daggers11.
12.Even trivial things linger in memory
13.And before you realize it, cracks begin to form
14.Ah, trying to hold my heart together so it won’t crumble, it feels polluted
15.Hey, if you can’t understand me, could you just leave me be?16.
17.I wish you could simply think, “Every flower is beautiful”
18.Without wielding unsolicited words as weapons of righteousness19.
20.The “happiness” someone else defined feels suffocating
21.It seems I can’t bloom in beautiful colors
22.Ah, even as I long for diversity, everything ends up dyed the same
23.Hey, isn’t that just how the world always is?24.
25.Emotional, impulsive, reactive, derisive words—
26.They curse me, they curse me, they curse me
27.A lifelong scar left behind28.
29.I just want to live a life with as little pain as possible
30.I don’t want to seek meaning in existence
31.If I could meet someone like you, who carries the same struggles with living
32.Maybe together we could dissolve all the stares and suffering
33.Filling ourselves with a pure kindness, I want to become transparent
