The Suffering Body

(the sequel of The Curl of Lips)

I speak with shorten sentences,
immediately avoiding "l's" and "r's".
I hate them
so much.

I hate them
because when I speak
I want to cry.

I hate this
I hate this
I hate this

The others joke
and mean nothing to me
but it still hurts
when I realize
I'm an alien
to those that are supposed to be

people who relate to me.
They're horrible,
I'm horrible.

I don't understand Grandma anymore,
forcing her to speak the same
strange and alien
to her aged lips.

I hate this
I hate this
I hate this

But I bear with it
to survive
in a cruel majority.

My lips are tired
but they do not remember
anymore.
