Ang Mga Tula

With you

I hate speeches, I get anxious.
I hate having to step outside while consciously checking myself every time.
I hate that I have to speak only to stutter a lot.
I hate seeing happy faces, thinking they might be laughing at how ugly and pathetic I look.
I hate everything about all the people I have to meet every day----
and I hate myself more for being this way.

Until you saw me, differently...
As if you've seen a glimmer of hope inside of me, that I couldn't express.

With you, everything has changed
With you I can laugh... even while everyone's eyes are on us.

With you, everything is amazing!
Because of you I feel more human... somehow.
