It's always this time around
when I'll be writing eulogies
to what once was
—every note, every letter
in every verse—
comes with a thousand
memories and emotions
I have to feel and let go ofIt's always this time around
when I'll be burying dead versions
of me after being told it wasn't
the one they wanted
—every limb, every smile
scratched in every lips—
comes with a thousand
wishes and prayers
I have uttered just
to be acceptedIt's always this time around
when I'll be taking note
of how less and less
special I become even
through the countless
masks I wore
—every crack, every paint
slathered down the fragile
glass not to cover my face
but to reflect it to the world—
comes with a price sometimes
too heavy for me to pay
for with my lifeIt's always this time around
—I have written countless
eulogies with nothing
but my ill-will to keep living
despite being dead
to everyone elseIt's always this time around
when I'll be dealing with poison
I could have thrown out
so long ago, from the beginning
but because I stayed
for as long as I could
it's always this time around
when I'll be trashed for
a number of things
people don't want to see in me
and it's always this time around
when I let them be
