I love you no matter what
I just want you to be happy
And always be who you are.
My father caressed my forehead
smiled, hugged me, and said
"I love you no matter what"
My best friend touched my scars
Joked to lighten the mood, and said
"I just want you to be happy"
My mother took me to the mirror
Pulled my cheeks and advised me,
"and always be who you are"
