Farewell
Farewell to all, near or far,
Sleeping or awake,
To critters here or creatures there,
And even to the snake.
Farewell, my dears, for I must go
To my home to stay,
Remember me, I’ll wave goodbye
And now God Bless I say!

Chai Tea
My tea is hot, it’s good to drink,
I think you’d like it, too.
It is Chai Tea and it’s the best,
And love it? Yes I do!

I: Embracing Me
This constant struggle to be
who
what
I think
they want to see.
Trying too hard
just want to fit in
tired of being on the outside
looking in;
I am sure
some of this is all in my head
but how much?
I want to be me
be wanted for me,
I want to be loved
for my quirks,
not despite them.
I wish being different was not such a sin
I'm sick of different
I just want to fit in;
or rather,
I wish everyone was like me
or else,

the girl up on the balcony—
it's so dark, she's a shadow, she's unseen
high up in the rafters
she can hear the coughing, she can hear the laughter
she can see the magic and she can see the actors.

she's like a stormcloud up there, waiting
look out, it just might start raining.
