All the parts of me
that I can't help but wish away,
These parts of me are not my own.
They are a reflection of my parents.
Their traits filtered down to me.
So when I hate those parts of me,
When I wish them away,
What I am really doing is killing my parents and cutting my ties with them.
Yes, those emotions are not easy to deal with,
My life would be easier without them.
But
I can use them to remember my parents.
Whenever I feel anxious,
it takes me closer to my mother.
Whenever I struggle with social anxiety,
It reflects my appu.
I can use them to grow strong.
