Sometimes even laughter can’t heal
The sadness that deep inside I feel
I don’t even have an appetite for a meal
I just wanted to get out of my life for real
Then I found a video of your journey
I suddenly found a reason not to be lonely
Although you are living far from me
But you’re the reason I’m still here
You may not be a doctor, but you’ve saved me
You may not be a compass, but you’ve guided me
You may not be a medicine, but you’ve healed me
Thank you for existing, Jihoonie

I am already the protagonist of my own life.
Why do I want to be an antagonist in another’s life?
Some call me selfish and yes I am.
I already have too much problem on my plate,
So I couldn’t stomach others’ too.
Don’t force me on your delusions.
I don’t care about you and so should you.

I am seldom alone
Always with a lot of people
But when I am in a group
I feel like I’m not in the loop

Lust,
Indulge in
Vices,
Enjoy.
Love,
Idealize,
Valorize,
Embrace.
Lust but don’t forget to love yourself.
Indulge in idealizing yourself.
Vices can also be valorized.
Enjoy and embrace who you are
Live your own life.

I feel like I’m being swallowed
By the world who is a glutton
It devours those who are weak
Someone like me
It squeezes me tight
So that I can’t fight
My bones are broken
So is my soul
No chance for me
To become whole

I was laughing
Playing games on my phone
I was giddy
Reading that romantic book
I was optimistic
Planning tomorrow’s getaway
Then just out of the blue
My heart’s getting crushed
The violent beating doesn’t stop
My mind is getting away
The future is getting astray
My lungs is getting heavy
I took a deep breath
But its not enough
My phone pings
Another message ignored
My tears just fell
It’s getting harder to control
It creeps in
What to do?

The decorations still hung
The glasses unwashed
But silence reigned
The laughters stopped
The cake is gone
What loneliness it has become

The emptiness in my eyes,
The truth behind my lies,
The fall before my rise,
And the goodbyes;
It scares me.
The dark beneath my skin,
The light within my sins,
The voice that loudly sings,
And my broken wings;
It scares me.
The wounds I can't heal,
The pain I can't feel,
The loss I can't deal,
And when I am real;
It scares me.
The silence in my little talks,
The stillness in my moonlit walks,
The thought of separate ways,
And my numbered days;
It scares me.
The demons under my bed,
The words spinning in my head,
The blood in my sweat,
And my cold breath;
It scares me.

I am a poet,
or I like to call myself one.
My heartaches and heartbreaks give life to empty pages;
I rarely compose from glorious days.
I’m inspired by the world, by people around me
but mostly by my pain.
I consider myself an introvert
for you will rarely hear me speak,
but on the other hand, I have much to say
just not with my lips
but with a pen.
I hide behind ink and paper
ready to write my feelings away.
I am the poetry that I write.

Life is a journey
Not a race
No first place nor last
We don’t have the same finish line
Walk or run
It is up to you
Don’t push yourself
If you can’t keep up
Take a break
Take a deep breath
Better stop than hit the wall
