18/F Sometimes, I like to make myself feel as though I am a possible impossibility; I would become a contrariety that agrees. A paradox that makes sense. A bird that breathes underwater. A star that lives forever.
Natural selection Survival of the fittest What morals and ethics Did our ancestors test? How did evolution Make us one of the best? Psychological development, Nature and nurture; They knew what it meant: We'll evolve further into the future. But be warned of downfalls on occasion: A reckless reaction A spark of destruction Might eventually be triggered When human nature Is more sure of its environment than it is with itself. Be warned. This is how world wars began.

Human Nature
So I; I move in the same pace as the river. I flow along with it as I keep a shiver; Ignoring all the rocks that come my way, so never will I be in one place to stay. Yet you; You struggle against the fast moving water. You flow against it with a sturdy little quiver; Using the rocks as so to keep you at bay, then breathe a sigh of contentment and stay.

Gulf
Unsure of control, Her feelings soon burst And she had kept it in; Similar to that of water Spilling inside A bag That is waterproof

In warfare they met The importance of mercy Repentant soldiers

haiku*
A busy, coffee-smelling Sunday morning With noisy banters while cooking and dining Natural gatherings with our parents A time to fix the little cracks and bents But alas, my father is under the soil While mother uses her time to toil And I am left in my own devices Do try to imagine how everyday is And oh, please try to remember albeit I am not a sad child at all, at least not yet For I always reason, not in deceit, That my family isn't broken, just incomplete

My Family Isn't Broken
I can't tell directly What's not meant to be I can't ask you to feel Something you learned to conceal One can only speak in metaphors About their dented, key less doors When life puts you in a challenging test I can only provide you a life vest As the storm hits you with sheer force, Don't give up, recall your hope's source Please endure for a little more And wait for when you can swim back ashore

I Know You'll Survive
He's all skin and bones And he laid helplessly in bed With restless sunken eyes As the lump in his throat grew And constricted his every breath That in the next morning, It took away his life And the worst thing about it all Was that a miracle didn't happen No matter how much we hoped for it

Helpless Death
Oh dear sir, you are many things But wholesome is not one of them You are very incomplete and fragmented But such parts are unseen by most eyes And though you are unconsciously longing For someone to fill such hollow holes, You are sidetracked by societal expectations That you'd resort to the boring entertainment Of busy days and bland tasting wine Oh dear sir, you are many things And lonesome is one of them

A Lonesome Gentleman
It's not yet night for her to sink But she closed herself and sank Like eyes that are too tired to blink And gazing upon the muddy river bank, Suddenly, there were ripples in the water As she sinks down into the river bed But there was not a single call from her As if she let herself be led By water currents she knew so well Have you forgotten how to float? Or are there no souls around to tell, About silent screams with a sore throat? Did your roots pull from the mud? And the current strong enough to break it? It's a tragedy of the tiny pink bud, who once sat on the murky water of two feet, Being swallowed whole into the water and not once experiencing a genuine woo Oh, lovely water flower, ....Did you regret it too?

To The Lotus That Gave Up
Dear Joseph John, I secretly loved you With all of it clear and true As the first made me cry The second made me smile And the first was my reality While the second became my escape And as I keep having to strive For the second that kept me alive I had begged to disagree That the first is the death of me
