Excerpt: 
"I am everything: 
The autumn winds easing the leaves away from their branches, 
A baby's smile at daddy's funny face, 
The tears that seep into the soil at a funeral, 
A heavy snowfall on Christmas Eve. 

I am a hug: 
Offered only during times of sadness, 
Never given often enough. 

I am a mirror: 
Reflecting the moods of those in my surroundings 
Or the inanimate objects that remain once all have gone home. 

I am a microphone: 
Echoing the opinions of those around me, 
Telling the truths of all, but only being accepted by one. 

I am a shell: 
Full of the many memories of yesterday, 
Unable to grasp anything today. 

I am a skeleton: 
Stripped away of any feeling, 
After everyone has taken a piece. 

I am nothing: 
Not a firefighter, 
Thanked for saving the family pet. 
Not a lover, 
Dearly missed by her significant other. 
Not a role model, 
Written about for a second grader's project. 
Not a person at all; 
I am a simple cadaver, sliced up for answers to all of life's questions."

A world of poems captured in a single book, written by a girl who played every role: the academic achiever, the loyal friend, the eldest daughter, and more. She was always the one chosen for the top rank, yet she was never the one chosen by love. This collection is a bridge across the years, composed of verses that trace a haunting evolution where the innocent wonders of childhood slowly sharpen into the cold realizations of the real world. Yours truly, RosePoet (Note: These entries are not arranged in chronological order; however, I have included dates to serve as a guide to navigate the journey through time.)

LETTERS I NEVER SENT - A Thousand Tender Nights di IxoraT4
131 parti In corso
I grew up in a rural village in Vietnam, in a family where my father struggled with addiction and my mother carried the heavy burden of raising six children. Deep inside, I always longed for a warm and loving home, a father to guide and protect, and a mother to nurture and comfort. As I grew older, that longing shifted into a yearning for romantic love, as my heart began to awaken to its first tender stirrings. The poems I wrote became sparks, small reflections of each stage of my life, each one carrying my search for love. They were poems never sent, born of desires I kept quietly to myself, of feelings that never grew into real relationships. These verses echo my heart, a heart that once held silence, longing, and memory, and now beats with the fire of love. Some were written long before I met the one who awakened me, yet each line carries the tenderness I have discovered in the present. As an immigrant, poetry in Vietnamese has always been my way of breathing. What you read here are my own translations, sometimes imperfect, but always honest. These poems are not just about one person, but about what it means to be alive: to long, to love beyond fear, and to speak from the soul. Now, in my forties, I understand that the image I was searching for was myself. And with that discovery, my love has not faded; it has deepened, becoming steadier and more serene. I no longer search for "him" to give this love away to. Instead, this profound love lives within me, unshakable and whole. In finding myself, I found love.
