Sharing is caring,
Or so they say,
A share gets trending,
There goes the sway.
Alex Teng Jun 2019
There are two days where our lives that aren't 24 hours long
Alex Teng Apr 2019
Trying to hide
what you really feel

Loving someone
who loves another

And taking risk
to fall in love again
Alex Teng Apr 2019
We all need a shift in perspective from time to time,
The world is selfish because humans are flawed,
And because of that,
we often take even the simplest of pleasures for granted.
When is enough truly enough?

When you complained that the food is not tasty enough ,
Remember there are kids begging for leftover just to stay alive.

When you complained the sun is too hot,
Remember there are people who can't afford clothes to keep them warm.

When you complained the job is hard,
Remember there are people who sacrified their life for the job.

When everything turns out wrong for you in life,
Remember that you are still alive.

You might not be able to change the world's perspective  at a day.
But we might be able to do that one person at a time.

It all starts from you.

A kilogram of cotton,
A kilogram of nails,
Weight the same,
Step on a cotton,
Step on a nail,
Definitely won't feel the same

Someone once ask,
Are you afraid of falling in love,
I answered her,
I'm afraid I'm the only one falling.
Alex Teng Oct 2019
All I need ,
Is a little rain ,
A little wine ,
And a lot of you.
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 ?
Alex Teng Jul 2019
A real man would never lies,
He may love you,
And yet still get attracted to another,
That's the truth.

There is this part of me ,
Crying out loud,
And another part of me,
That had enough.
Be
Alex Teng Sep 2019
Be
Sometimes I wonder,
What would I be,
If I didn't made those mistakes,
Would I be happier,
Would I be stronger,
Would I be able to make my parents prouder,
Or would I be a loser,
Or someone who's prouder,
Someone who lack the empathy,
To sympathise those weaker.
Alex Teng May 2019
Seeing is believing
You can't see God
Yet you believe
Alex Teng Mar 2019
Be the person who cares more,
Be the person who tries harder,
Be the person who loves stronger,
Be the person that gives more of a **** than all the half alive people surrounding us.

Be the person who answer the messages,
Be the person who shows up to commitments
and doesn't leave others guessing or doubting their worth.
Be the person you wish you were dating,

If you are sick of the love game then stop playing it,
If you are tired of the ******* then get out from it.


Because the last thing this world needs is another leecher.


If you are the only one left with burning passion in your heart, use it all.
At the end of the day ,
Go out with a broken heart that gave too much and love too strongly.
Go out with the fact that you've given your all
and didn't hold anything back even tho it hurts.


Because it's definitely a much more fulfilling way of living than the alternative.
It is always better to die trying than living without knowing.
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.
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

Be the extinguisher,
Stop the candle from burning herself out,
From the matches that are trying.
All won't happen without air (fate)
Alex Teng Dec 2019
They said I changed a lot,
I answered
A lot changed me.

He gave you a bouquet of flowers
When he had a garden
I gave you a petal
I only had a flower
Alex Teng May 2019
An apple a day,
Keep the doctors away,
A poem a day,
Get my thoughts somewhere.
Alex Teng Apr 2019
Before you think that nobody loves you,

Remember that,
Someone somewhere sometime
has secretly cried for you,
prayed for you ,
and sacrified for you.
I'm an atheist tho
Cry
Alex Teng Apr 2019
Cry
Never cry for
any relationship in life,

Because for the one
whom you cry doesn't
deserve your tears.

And the one who deserves,
will never let you cry
Alex Teng Apr 2019
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.
Alex Teng Feb 2020
We all are stubborn,
We all make wrong decision,
But we all ain't rich.

'Principle' is what we all say when a successful man is being stubborn,
And a 'risk taker' is what we all call when a successful man made a wrong decision.
'Man' is a general term referring to a person regardless of the gender please don't get me wrong
Alex Teng May 2019
In this generation,
If it's isn't on film,
You didn't do it.
Alex Teng May 2019
You got to be tough,
If you are going to be stupid.

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.
Alex Teng Dec 2019
I guess it isn't fair to blame you,
I kept pouring myself into your palms,
Even as I watched all that I was leak through your fingers.
Alex Teng Apr 2019
HE hurt you,
HE abandon you,
HE cheated you,
HE used you,
HE destroy you,
HE tried to ******* **** you,
But you are still you.

Three guys are on a boat,
With four cigarettes,
But nothing to light them with,
So they throw one cigarette overboard,
And the boat become a cigarette lighter.

When love dies,
Remember the passion when you hold hand for the first time.
Alex Teng Jul 2019
It's when we fall into slumber,
When we cry, when we remember,
Through the short times that we've shared,
For all the pain we compared,
It's when I looked you in the eyes,
It's when my heart couldn't lie,
For the hundredth of time,
You've hurt me inside,
I still can't let you down.
Alex Teng Apr 2019
I wish I met some people earlier ,
Some a little later,
And some never at all.
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 ****
Alex Teng May 2019
You saw it,
No abs no *****,
Let's see if there is people who don't care about looks.
Fly
Alex Teng May 2019
Fly
Break the norms and raise high,
Who told you, that you cannot fly.
Alex Teng Sep 2019
Seeing the full moon shines,
Reminds me of you,
And your weird beliefs,
It seems like,
We just parted yesterday.
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
Alex Teng Dec 2019
The first thing you should know is that you aren't them,
A lot more will make sense after.
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
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
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.
Alex Teng Apr 2019
You've asked me to quit smoking.
But cigarette is the only thing that don't quit me,
You did.
Alex Teng Apr 2019
Being broke is hard
Becoming rich is hard
Choose your hard
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 !
Alex Teng Apr 2019
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.
Alex Teng Apr 2019
I don't know what's killing me ,
The guilt of loving you,
Or the pride of leaving you.

Some say it painful to wait for someone
Some say it's painful to forget someone
But the worst pain come when you don't know whether to wait or to forget

If you don't heal what hurt you,
You will bleed on people who didn't cut you.
Alex Teng May 2019
I don't drink
I don't smoke
I don't gamble
I don't watch ****
I don't look at other girls
I don't exist
Alex Teng Jul 2019
I don't hate you, although I should.
But I'm grateful for what you did,
It made me stronger and happier.

Thank you,
Because of you,
I learned what I deserve and what I don't,
Between what I want and what I don't need,
Between who to love and who to let go.
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.
