Used to
Alex Teng Jul 2019
Used to have that motivation to wake up,
For the day to shine,
And for me to see you smile,
Now it's just back to mundane,
To the usual day to day life.

Feeling cheap
Alex Teng Jun 2019
You brought it upon yourself,
Should have expected the outcome,
Ain't not good enough to be love,
You are just another ****

Moments
Alex Teng Jun 2019
In life moments come and go,
Take a shot or you'll never know,
Your heart will tell you when it's time to move,
Ask yourself what you gotta lose.

Scribble
Alex Teng Jun 2019
When the moon is big and bright,
It's a supernatural delight
Alex Teng Jun 2019
Be the extinguisher,
Stop the candle from burning herself out,
From the matches that are trying.
All won't happen without air (fate)

Rumors
Alex Teng May 2019
Rumors are carried by haters,
Spread by fools,
And accepted by idiots.

Butterfly
Alex Teng May 2019
He feels so ugly
That the only way he can find some peace
Is to share his pain with others

You aren't what he said  
You are the opposite
Find your butterfly

He hate himself so much
That he believe that the best way to feel beautiful is to make others ugly.
Stay safe and stay strong

Obstacles

As the darker the skies,

Break the norms and raise high,
Who told you, that you cannot fly.

Joke of the day
Alex Teng May 2019
Men are born between a woman's leg,
And they spend the rest of their life,
Trying to get back in between them,
Because there is no place like home !

Joke of the day
Alex Teng May 2019
When you get older,
You will face two weaknesses,
First, you will forget easily,
Second, I can't remember

Sometimes
Alex Teng May 2019
Sometimes the one riding with you,
Aren't really riding for you,
Sometimes the one closest to you,
Is the one competing silently with you.

Stay strong
Alex Teng May 2019
I don't think anyone really understand how tiring it is to act okay and always be strong when in reality you're close to the edge

Education
Alex Teng May 2019
Gas chambers built by engineers,
Children poisoned by chemist,
Infants killed by nurses,
Innocents killed by soldier,
Education should train human,
To be more human.

Grass bed
Alex Teng May 2019
Used to lay on the grass bed,
To see the stars up the sky,
It's the same grass bed,
No stars tonight

Present
Alex Teng May 2019
The past is gone for good.
You can sit here mourning it's departure,
Or prepare for the future.
A week passed

Don't cry over a man

You got to be tough,
If you are going to be stupid.

Disgusting

In this generation,
If it's isn't on film,
You didn't do it.

That's something

You know the feeling,
Where you first had a talk,
And you felt like,
You've known someone forever?

That's something

Get my thoughts somewhere.

Scream
Alex Teng May 2019
I went through every Hell's door
Just for you to shut it on my face

Intimacy
Alex Teng May 2019
People think intimacy is about ***
But intimacy is about truth
When you realise,
You can tell someone your truth
You can show yourself to them
You can stand in front of them bare
And their response is
You are safe with me
That's intimacy.

Guess who
Alex Teng May 2019
Stop trying to be anything
If everyone just focused on enjoying life
And stopped pretending to be something
they think someone else wants
We'd all be having gutsy relationships
instead of the ridiculous games
Of "guess who" we seem to keep finding.

Gesture
Alex Teng May 2019
When you say you are leaving
I don't like the word goodbye
Or the wave of hand
Maybe it's just me
Feeling the pain

Heart
Alex Teng May 2019
Always too soft
Crying alone till the dawn
Loved without regret without hate
You ain't that strong at all
To take responsibilities all by yourself

It's easy to fall in love
It's difficult to communicate
If it's not yours,
Don't force it

Why can;t you fall asleep ?
Are you still missing her ?
Aren't you tired of loving ?
Even tho you know she ain't coming?

Trying to love someone bravely,
To treat her wholesomely
Too bad she ain't taking it
She won't even flinch
At the sacrifices you made

You can't be thinking
To always be the good one

So let it go
Just let it go
Forget it like she says so

It ain't worth waiting
If she ain't coming
You should be thinking
About how you doing !

Silent cry
Alex Teng May 2019
Think about it
It is more reliable to earn money
Cause when you are in a bad mood
You can always buy two bottles of beer
A big bag of chips
Sit by the side of road and cry

When you had the money
You can cry in Paris
You can cry in Tokyo
Cry in London, Cry in Rome

Cry while playing
Cry while enjoying
Cry as much as you hate crying

What is love
Alex Teng May 2019
Do you understand
Or even know what is love ?

The biggest fate ?
God's greatest plan ?

That's a movie
That's the story

Life is also very short
It's not who you love that matters

What matters is
Who is the person who's with you ?
May 2019 · 173
Any way?
Alex Teng May 2019
What if I say,
I will teach you a way
To see the one you love right away


How much do you love her
Even such an obvious lie
Makes you sway ?
May 2019 · 275
Priority
Alex Teng May 2019
If we are dating,
I want to be your second priority,
I want your first priority to be you,
Your life and your future.

Because,
Finding happiness and security alone,
Is crucial to finding it together.

Rain, Rain, Go away
Alex Teng May 2019
Gazing from my window at a group of children play,
All absorbed in childish beneath the sun's bright ray
Suddenly the heavens clouded threatening the sunny day,
Anxious mothers seek their darlings, now their joy gives away


Pouting lips and saddened faces,
Naughty rain their joy disperse,
From their little hearts the wall comes,
Nature's pathos in this verse

Rain, rain , go away,
Come another washing day,
For the children want to play,
Please just go away
Cuddling weather

Time
Alex Teng May 2019
How to stop time, kiss
How to travel in time, read
How to escape time, music
How to feel time, write
How to release time, breathe
How to waste time,
Like this poem

My siblings see me as a brother
My teacher see me as a student
My colleague see me as a friend
My lover see me as a
Double faced

Goodnight
Alex Teng Apr 2019
Lullaby and good night
Dream sweet dreams of love and light
In your heart
In your hands
You are more than your desires or your demands

Through the days
Through the years
Through the laughter and the tears
You will grieve
You will grow
You'll be more than anyone will ever know
And when you feel this can't be true
I'll help you through

So when you feel you're on your own
Got nowhere to go
Turn yourself around
Seek my shoulder

And when you feel you're on the ropes
Close to losing hope
I will hold you closer

Lullaby and good night
Dream sweet dreams of love and light
You are strong
You are whole
You are more than anyone will ever know
And when you feel this can't be true
I'm here for you

Pace
Alex Teng Apr 2019
What if time is just a concept
Created to confine us
It may take us a few minutes
To walk a few blocks

For a snail
That's forever

Depths

Someday someone won’t be afraid of how much you love.
They won’t stay on the shore; they’ll meet you in the depths
You weren’t made for shallow waters,
Your heart is an ocean.

Life is like a piano,
The white keys represent happiness,

But as you go through life's journey,
Rememeber that the black key make music too.

HE hurt you,
HE abandon you,
HE cheated you,

HE destroy you,
HE tried to ******* **** you,
But you are still you.

Maybe it is just me
Alex Teng Apr 2019
When I see you online and not replying me
When I knew you went somewhere without telling me
When you disappear for too long after I send a text
When you decided to act sulky and not talk to me
When you said you are someone motivation at the gym
When you said you will sleep but act differently
When you don't want affection in public
When you don't want to make love to me
When you went out from the office secretly
When you talk more to another guy instead of me
When you can't fall asleep beside me
When you don't trust me
When you cried telling it to me
When you tried to ignore me
When you said you love me
What the **** is wrong with me ?

Blame it on me
Alex Teng Apr 2019
I'm sorry for being me
I thought we connect idealistically
I thought you will act differently ,
But apparently,
You don't see what I see.

I'm sorry for letting you be,
To not be able see who you are to me
To think that I will act cowardly,
And to see me as ordinary.

All I am looking for is tranquility,
Unfortunately,
You are trying to achieve spiritually,
But let me tell you blatantly,
You aren't that different from me.

You told me,
You need the sense of security,
And the sense of certainty,
But my darling,
You aren't wiling to dive deeply.

Tying a knot does not provide security,
Nor does it ensure certainty,
I failed as a lover,
Because you didn't realize,
what's reality.

If all I am looking for is just to be *****,
I won't come up with all the activity,
I won't be able to make you cry softly,
Or even to share my thoughts to you
genuinely.

The fact that you felt guilty,
To love comfortably,
Believe me,
That hurts me.

So here I am telling you directly,
I couldn't be with you in this journey,
Cause it's a pain for me to see,
You suffer and torture yourself mentally.

I will never be who you want me to be,
Because we were all designed differently,
You said I treated you disrespectfully,
Without realizing my insecurity.

I'll leave for now so that you see,
I am not acting contradictorily,
I am just being me.


But please,
blame it on me.

I would like to express my gratitude to my parents

It has been difficult for both of you from the day I was born ...
I was born with my small and large intestine twisted...
I was sent to hospital several times because of asthma...
I had a lot of accidents since I was small...
I was stubborn , naughty, playful , and a hyper kid ...

It was difficult for you  raising up
A child like me


I wish I was better ,
I wish I was healthier ,
I wish I didn't let u shed a tear,
and I wish that I can make you happier....

For those tears you shed for me ,
Because of my accidents,
of my stubborness,
or even my wrongs,
I'm sorry...

I can't turn back time to change those events,
But I promise that I'll do better this time ..

Thank you for giving me a chance to see this world ,
Thank you for raising me up ,
Thank you for providing me a shelter,
A place I could find comfort ,
and I call home..

Thank you for enduring me,
I was a stubborn kid ,
I made mistakes I knew I shouldn't,
It was a learning process,
For me to find my true identity,
And I thank you for helping me ,
Helping myself to discover me.

When I was small,
I promised myself to let you proud,
And to let you shed tears of happinness,
But sometimes,
I don't do it well..
And I knew you were dissapointed for myself,
So thank you for giving me a opportunity to change,
And thank you for your efforts in raising me up.
