Dedicated to My Compass
Bao Q. Pham
Bright Blues staring up at you
Raven hair curled with tragic magic
There is a beautiful tragedy about me
So… What would you like to know?
What else do you want to see?
What more would you like to hear?
I believe in the beauty of broken things
The sadness behind my eyes
The despair I disguise
The pain I hide behind my fake smile
Yes, it’s true. I have a certain kind of “hello” when I say it to you
I am no longer forced to pretend or do the work of concealment
Now rolling in the Eden of my dreams
Floating among whispy clouds of Peace
Despite my many shortcomings —
Here — In my Eden
I am finally free!
Free to be the REAL me!
The best part is, you’re in my Eden with me
You Lil Dickens
