Dear United States of America,

So you think we're fighting prejudice?
...

You come running up,
rubbing against me.
So willing to give love.
Needing to be loved.
...

I need you to know that it's not over for me.
You think that I'm okay because I'm on the meds but that's not always the case.

I need you to know that sometimes I have bad days and it's not my fault.

La Mia Mamma
La mia mamma ha data la luce a me,
e per questo sono grata.
Simpatica era lei,
...

...

You are so wonderful, words can not express,
how much you've done for me and how you've saved me from distress.

I hope I can show the world what you've done for me,
...

...

...

What hurts the most is that you are supposed to be my friend,
but you treat me like a foe.

Don't you see I love you? Yet you drive me crazy.
...

...

I am a cat.
Silent and distant,
I stand apart from the others.
Different from them, I sometimes give others the feeling that I am cold.
...

Dear Mom,
I'm only a teenager.
I can't deal with your problems especially when you refuse to help with
mine.
...

I am no one.
Nobody chooses to see me.
Beneath the waves of my depression I lie in deep slumber.
It is oh so easy to wake me but no one bothers to try.
...

I wake up into a dream every morning.
I'm standing in a crowded room and everyone is laughing and smiling.
It's like one big party.
...

There are times Lord where I want to stop living.
I am overcome with guilt and shame.
I want love but my family can't give me that.
I wonder why you allow this to happen, but the truth is...
...
