I wish I was like
All of the other girls
Whose dimples bloom
Like cherry blossoms
Laughter that sounds
as easy as ocean breeze
eyes as bright as
Every Sun in the sky
They dance in montages
And sing like sirens
They're the kinds of girls
you can't help but smile at
The ones whose story
Can be told in movies
I try to imagine what it's like
But even as I write
I sit alone in silence
Still in my pajamas
When I lookup
my eyes don't turn bright
When I walk into a room
people don't look up
When I smile
my cheeks don't turn into
cherry blossoms
I'm not in a movie
or the character in a story
I'm just me, and instead
I'll grow my own cherry trees
And my mind will speak
A thousand words wisely
even though no one can hear
My eyes will watch the beauty
Of the world and watch
The stars fall away
