Should I Go or Should I Stay?

Should I go or should I stay?
That's the million dollar question
I have asked for as long as I remember.

Everything has changed.
They treat me differently, and they don't care.
Everything has changed.
They hurt me with their opinions and expressions.

What hurts the most is that they do not realise
what they are putting me through
It's like they are doing it on purpose,
like they want me to feel this way,
like they want me to just vanish into thin air.

They love me,
but sometimes I feel they hate the sight of me,
like they can't even breathe when I'm around.

Should I go or should I stay,
because of everything that has changed?
Everything has changed in a very bad manner.
The only thing that has changed in a good manner is
MY LOVE FOR THEM.

During all these obstacles,
I got to love them more and more.
I don't know why, but I did.
Everything has changed, but not all of it in a bad way, so
WHY SHOULD I GO?

But then again,
WHY SHOULD I STAY?

-Tito Walaza

    So many young people, and so many people in general, can relate to this feeling of being in the way. In these lines I have cited above, you have bravely delved into what you assume lies in "their" heads and hearts.

    I know these words will have healing effects for many who read them. They have for me. Wonderful work, Tito.
