HEAR ME !
Counselor: How bout we start by you telling be about yourself
ME: *sigh*
So where do it start?
Should I talk about how I jeopardized “my life” to be at a place that was to
Make me, break me and/or set me apart.
Or should I talk about how I became who I am
But yet I feel as if I’m being scammed.
Scammed of my life, my culture, my inner me.
But when I sit back and complain most people say how can you be
So ungrateful, so unsatisfied when you used to be stuck in a dead tree…
With no twigs, no branches, no leaves
But in my eyes the tree was still lively.
See, even though I was dead I was still standing
So there was a chance of being born again
Depending on my type, my environment
Whether my branch will become branches
Again.
Should I tell you...? Should you listen? Will you listen?
Counselor: ............ Yes
