Experience Tumblr like never before

I Feel Powerful - Blog Posts

Fire and Water

I am a sensitive person.

I am an emotional person.

One poke is like the stab of a knife.

One tickle makes me choke.

One little insult, scold, or anything

Is enough to extinguish my sun

Burn out my stars

And blow out my candle.

One little insult, scold, or anything

Is enough to make me cry

A waterfall of tears.

But are you any better?

You are a hypocritical person.

You are a cowardly person.

You tell me not to become a bonfire

For as many times as there are stars in the sky,

Despite being a volcano

That has been erupting every time I dim.

You tell me I never swallow my own poison

Despite never seeing your own.

You see my itty-bitty tears

And run from them like a tsunami

And tell me to praise you like a hero. 

And now,

I am nothing.

Nothing to you,

Nothing to myself,

Nothing to anyone.

I could have shone like the sun, moon, and stars

Except my light

That is still so bright

Is all covered up.

However,

The most I could do

Is take my tears,

My drops, 

My waterfall,

My ocean,

My tsunami

And use them as watercolor paint

And make something beautiful.

So here I am

Uncovering my light.

Author's notes: This is a poem I wrote a couple weeks ago expressing my emotions after a fight with my parents. Coincidentally, I got into another one with them today.
