Would You Laugh At Me

If I Sat Down,
Tears Streaming Down My Half Dominican Half Puterican Face, 
Droplets Of Water Coming From My Brown Eyes
Would You Laugh At Me?

If I shaped the stars and the sun,
With a #2 pencil full of led,
Would you laugh at me?

If I looked through a lens Of hope,
To see the bright, ripe moon
Glowing from a distance
Would you laugh at me? 

If I try to mimic characters
From an amine,
With a smile of warm joy,
Would you laugh at me?

If I act like myself,
To be your fragile friend
You hold close.
Would you laugh at me?

If I work hard to
Complete Projects
Or videos to make you smile
Would you laugh at me?

If I had bruised myself
Without knowing
Would you laugh at me?

If I embraced 
my half Dominican- half Puterican side of my life
Would you laugh at me?
 
If  I  fall...
Through the swollen pit of life vs death
Would you laugh at me?

If I Replay my favorite songs,
Humming the lyrics 
Would you laugh at me? 

If I stay... 
Or If I go...
Would you laugh at me?
Or have the courage to say… Hello.

Hello, Aoi. No, I would not laugh at you, at all. I would encourage you to be who you are, to enjoy your life as you wish to live it, and to let you share with me the tears from those big brown eyes. Best wishes to a fine poet!!!
