1.My eyes are black
2.My unruly, unmanageable hair is a concern
3.Even on rainy Sundays, going out is a hassle
4.I try to smooth it down with a hair iron
5.My voice gets higher when I’m on the phone
6.The more angry I am, the more polite I speak
7.Only the things I disliked
8.Are becoming similar, which is ironically funny
9.The customary December cleaning
10.Cold fingertips touching cheeks, laughing
11.If I had stayed small
12.We could have been just a small family
13.You and what you gave me
14.My black eyes have grown up
15.White clouds from the train window
16.I hear the familiar 5 PM melody
17.Oh tired body, please keep moving
18.Swaying through the crowd as if to persuade
19.All the frustration and restraint
20.Names that go beyond wishes and prayers for happiness
21.It might be an exaggeration to say there’s nothing
22.I want more than now, but
23.If I could meet you again
24.I’d honestly say thank you
25.You were fine just as you were
26.You even praised my notebook scribbles
27.I am who I am
28.Today, I’m fixing my unruly hair again
29.If I had stayed small
30.We could have been just a small family
31.You and what you gave me
32.My black eyes remain black
