Meter Monday: The Parents and I

love myself exceedingly more

and crumbs of my heart-shaped cake for you, mama 媽媽, baba 爸爸

it seems as though whatever I do

your achievements will always surpass

as though my fortress will constantly fall short in strength

compared to that of yours

the same stories that you would tell

of working this and that job for this and that many hours

and not being able to play and enjoy as much as I do

the same lectures

夠了, that's enough.

please zip the zipper on your mouth

I want to let open my thoughts

just listen.

you don't have to overpower me with comeback after another.

so easy to break off

in the middle of your long sentence

walk off

but I can't really shake it off

i know the spate of pride has broke the dams

and humility is far off

on the other pole

I don’t want to walk to the other side of the bridge spanning across troubled waters

To your side

And it seems vice versa

但是, but

my heart tells me

every time I

see

hear

think of you

to pour my pride down the drain

and move

whether it be dreadgingly

or in full stride

but move toward you

in godly love and forgiveness and confession

in hopes that the future of us is together,

unified in one body
