I'm not perfect, but I have to be
Following the rules is the only way I'll be happy
Money, clothes, and cars define your place in society
People repeat the process blindly
Life is beautiful yet also saddening
One false step and suddenly I'm ruining
The family goals set before me
I've tainted the masterpiece representing my ancestors' stories
That false step will cause me to fall short of glory
But what if I write a new story
Because home is not just where the standards torment me

The Little Shard
As you watch the coming dawn,
Here comes a doe with her fawn,
Her gaze pierces your soul with happiness
As she tells you, "Goodbye gloominess"
The fawn bounda away leaving you dazed,
You follow it, unfazed
By the rising sun, symbolizing peace,
Peace for you to release
Your inner fears and worry,
There's no longer a nees to hurry,
You know everything will be just fine,
As it's the inner peace to keep you in line

Just Keep Swimming
The Teenage Life is a journey through a large ocean
You're changing ang growing alone
While feeling the different kinds of motion
Fear, worry, and frustration aches every bone
You sing your your song, but no one answers
You pass others like you, searching
Searching for a life that matters
But despite this, just keep swimming
Maybe the currents get cold
You're tired and want to quit
"This vast sea is getting old
I passed that rock, that whirlpool pit"
You spot a gull flying in the sky
"When shall I be free?"
Take it from me, you will one day fly
You will take off, the ground and sea beneath your feet
I know it's hard
And you feel like quitting
반복되는 노래
It's the same melody
The same pitch and tune
Sang by different people, but by everybody
That repeated song you will hear soon
You may have heard a phrase
Possibly the chorus
Whoever sings this repeated song stays
In this desolate world meant for us
This repeated song tells the pain of life
It makes us all fear the rain
Fills everyone with strife
This repeated song becomes everyone's bane
One day, I stopped singing this repeated song
I stepped out into the rain
But I didn't survive very long
Ceasing the repeated song became my new pain
Everyone around me hissed
They exiled me with razor-sh

Secrets are things that people won't tell,
Despite the greatest truths
Hidden within them.
Secrets are things that people lie to
Cover up,
In fear of you finding out what's
Real.
Sweetie, here are a few secrets
That I feel must be shared,
Because they've been kept for
Far
Too
Long.
You are beautiful. You are stronger than your weaknesses.
You are unique. You are different. You are perfect.
You are not defined by your sadness, nor are you defined by the stereotypes.
You are not broken, despite the the scars and missing pieces.
You are powerful.
Wonderful.
Marvelous.
You are a fighter.
And, darling,
I know no one has whispered
These t
Smiling through your pain,
Till the wounds stop bleeding.
Running through your clouds
Once the sky stops raining.
Never saying never,
Going faster, stronger, better
Even when the
Raindrops seem to fall down forever.
Till the birds start to sing, and
Happiness overwhelms you,
And a smile takes over your face
Now and eternally.
Surviving through the pain,
Until the wounds stopped bleeding.
It never seemed it would end,
Crying, screaming, dying...
Indeed it did, it
Died away..
Even when the raindrops would never end.

things I never told you.
some poems feel like water.
this one is more like sand,
and I'm suffocating in the maw
of a desert that was better left
rusting its clairvoyance.
it started one night when I remembered
that I've kept everything you've ever given me:
roses, faces, promises.
I never really understood
how to let things go,
and when the thought of
turning the things you'd touched
away from my doorstep
choked the poetry from my throat,
I realized why.
I keep reminding myself that
I should probably be nicer to you,
but I think you already know
that I'm only capable of being nice
when I'm cornered and out of ideas.
and despite what you claim,
you've never been
"Hey."
"Hey."
"What's your name?"
"I'm called Right. What about you?"
"I'm called Left. Why do you seem so colourful but have such a sad expression?"
"Colourful?"
"Yes, mostly red though."
"Red? I did not realise red exists... All I see is white and grey and black..."
"Strange. You seem colourful to me. Am I grey too?"
"Yes. You are grey. Why do you look so happy when you are without colour?"
"How could I not be? To me the entire world is filled with colours, even though I may posses none."
"How do you know what you look like?"
"You just told me, remember, Right?"
"Why do you trust me, Left?
