Outside the tower
In fear people cower

Outside that they call the slums
Where people were nothing but bums

Till one day you are called inside
they say the tower you must climb

you are chosen they say
there is a role you will need to portray
you need to conquer
this 300+ floored tower

And at the top they promise
A land full of promise
A wish will be granted
You'll have anything you wanted

You then build dreams as high as the tower
Only to find disappointment
outside they call you chosen
inside they call you a regular

Along with people that were also "chosen"
You must climb with them
live with them
befriend them
Fight them
Betray them
**** them
Step on them to climb

those same people as you
those same people who were chosen
those same people who were called regulars
those same people that share dreams as you

you need to beat them
and carry the weight of betrayals to climb on top
will you still accept
the title of
a REGULAR?
This poem is inspired by the webtoon tower of God. I am currently in love with this webtoon so I decided to write a series of poems about it. :)

There exist a path
A path that you cannot walk
But a path where you can only climb

They call that path the Tower
Everything you can find
name it! fame, glory, wealth or power

This tower you cannot climb alone
Because at some point you'll need a stepping stone
this stepping stone is called a friend
It requires not just a simple friend
But a friend who will love you until the end

push them down
and pile them up
they're your stairs
to climb up

step on them
never look back
because if you do
regret may get you stuck
till you can climb up

and at the top
don't ever look back
because then you'll realize
everything you lack
that the life at the top
does ****
I am recently enchanted with this webtoon called tower of god so I decided to write a couple of poems inspired by it. ToG-Tower of God

1 is a lonely number
2 means a loser

the principle for my journey.

the stars I wanted to reach
so I climb
higher
and higher
till the stairs had ended
but the tower continued

I want to reach the stars
I need to climb more
To make my own stairs, I needed

So I stabbed everyone beside me
The friends that gathered around me
those who shared the same dream as me
will be the foundation of my stairs

I shall sacrifice their dreams for mine
they shall be my stairs

as I step on their bodies to climb higher to the Top
gravity is pulling me harder
I get heavier

I need to sacrifice more
I need to throw away more
So without restrictions
I threw away more
and I continued
to climb

Till the last step before I reached the top
my knees begin to weaken
the air begin to lessen
I need to throw away more

so I threw away everything
and I was able to reach the top

yes, I've reached the Top
but I didn't reach the stars
the tower has ended

Yes,
I was closer to the stars than I've ever been
but I felt nothing

I realized
I've thrown I away everything
to get on top
I've even thrown my dream

In the end,
I didn't reach the stars
the ones I held dear are dead
I am getting weaker and I can't go back

Yes indeed,
1 is a lonely number
We all have goals in our life but let us not forget what truly matters, what we hold dear. Don't throw them away to get your dreams. Coz in the end, what is success if you can't truly be happy?

this poem is inspired by the webtoon Tower of God

is a living creature
a parasite
living inside us
eating us up

a glutton
never knows when to stop
it eats us up
till we're all dried up

we know it lives inside
we know it is bad

we know a way to stop it
we know a way to **** it

we simply just can't
do it

we know
but
we can't

that's why we call it
ADDICTION
Have you ever been addicted to something, and you know its bad, you know how to stop it but you just can't? Well, for me, its anime, internet and such. It eats my time and I can't do anything productive, I know I should stop, but still I can't. T.T

raid drops
falling

the sky
roaring

Heaven
is crying

It's crying for the world
The world that has lost its way
humans that is bathed with sins

He is crying
tears that could wash away your sins
he is giving

Still people keep sinning
What's the point in saving
If in their evil,
there is no stopping

Still he keeps trying
He continues in crying

I pray he wont lose hope in humans
On us
until the day
he stops crying

and see Him

the Heaven.. Smiling
I am sinful. He is holy. I pray you'll never lose hope on me and the day will come I'll be able to give something back.

Not seeing each other doesn’t mean I stopped loving
I think it wont take long, I will see you again
Please don’t do this to me
You know that I wont forget you easily

...

Looking at the room, I feel alone
'Coz indeed I am
You’ve gone far away
It feels so lonely without you by my side

Even when you are far,
Even if I can’t see you,
Even if we can’t be together,
I didn’t stop loving you.

I know you needed to go
It’s for our future you said

You said you’ll always call
Yes you did

But then came a day when you stopped
Days passed and the phone never rang
No more pictures, notifications
No more communication

Why did you stop?
Are you too busy there?
Is your phone broken?
Have you found someone else?

Why are you doing this to me?
You know I won’t forget you easily.
...
I heard you moved to a different place
Now you’re more far than you’ve ever been

This long distance relationship is hard
I want to see you but it’s difficult
The price to pay to go there is too high
And the ticket is only one way

Isn’t there no other way to see you?
Isn’t there another way to hear your voice?

Don’t you have an internet connection there?
Don’t you have a signal there?

Are phones not allowed there?

If not, then tell God to allow you for a bit.
I need to talk to you
The pain in my heart is growing so much
I may no longer contain it

I might explode

I am longing to see you more and more each day
The tears won’t stop,
I’m drowning in sorrow

If he can’t allow,
Then I shall pay the price to go to you
And I know there is no going back
Maybe, It won’t take long and I’ll be with you

Happiness that we once felt,
The sadness that once made us cry,

The love we had given,
The love that we received in return,
The love that was shared.

Some love that was given,
The love that was never returned,
The love that was never shared,
The life that we had lived.

All of these are stored in a magical box called MEMORY.

But then the evil witch came and wreaked havoc upon the kingdom...
And she took the precious box.

The kingdom lost its memories of the years that went by...

And so the hero came and defeated the witch,
The box was returned back to kingdom.
The memories were restored...

The kingdom had a ruler, the queen.
Her name was Heart.

When the box was lost,
she felt lost.
The only thing that connected her to her kingdom,
was gone


But the hero came and gave the box back...

Her memories were restored,
the link with her and the kingdom was back.
But..
But... Deep inside,
To the very depths of Heart,
a voice,
calling out to her

a voice told her that there was something wrong

But she ignored it.

What she didn’t knew
A spell
The witch has caste
on to the magical box


The memories was mixed up
Altered.

It was a curse that would haunt Heart forever.
Have you ever felt like you remember something and later on finding out that memory didn't happen at all? Or have you ever felt troubled by how your memory was getting mixed up? I have, lately I have memories that don't even exist... Maybe its a memory of myself from the alternate universe. LOL. :)
