Didn't Know Who I Was
My childhood life
is quite different from
your childhood days,
you can't assume
that you know me
From their point of view,
if they never knew who I was.
You haven't been born,
when I lived my life in 1996
my mom knows everything
about me from my whole life,
you shouldn't turn to other
people to get to know me.
I am not the person,
how you complain about me
to your best friends.
My mom knows everything,
about my whole life more
then I remember myself,
she actually can answer
your question about me.
She had been with me
from the day I was born,
whatever I exercise with my mom
She describes me as quiet and mostly obedient,
she told me I had behaved neurotypically
exactly just like extroverts do.
Why I am the way I am?
as you won't know,
from our Chinese-Asian Culture
we have to respect and treat
older and elderly people equally
to make them proud of us.
You didn't know who I was,
because I had a Gemini life
that I am self-conscious to be honest about.
Didn't want to hurt you internally
but, can't control how I behave neurotypically
can't help myself from imitating, or mirroring
to make other people feel safe and comfortable around me.
I used to live a spoiled life as an only child.
Because of lacking self-sufficiency,
had been born with a disability
that affects me can't do things by myself,
when I was born
I was only raised by my mom,
when my dad wasn't at home often.
When both of my parents
were busy and weren't at home.
I wasn't exactly just like you
from my childhood days,
instead had a lot of
babysitters to look after me,
didn't expect people in my elementary school
treat me well and equally as everybody else was.
When I started at Rose Hill Junior High School,
they assumed and expected me to
had exact academic skills as them ...
