i’m afraid
that at the end of the day
i would still wait for your silhouette
as i eat my comfort food more and more
until they no longer taste sweet
and maybe you’re right,
that’s why you called me crazy
because you knew
i can do things nobody could have ever guessed
that i could come to you as much as how many times you would push me away;
that i’m willing to dry my eyes out hundred more times than the times you made me smile;
that i can run after you until my legs stop working;
and you could pierce my heart
even when there’s nothing to bleed with
—yes, that’s how twisted
and crazy i could be for you

Not Now

Would that you could

stand in place of me,

that I may recall myself.

Bit head to toe.

Static drops in longhand.

Revived right there...

where it so happens.

A silly tulip slipping

out of mass.

Love Unquestionably.

Do I love you?
Ask me not that question because you are loved unquestionably.
No doubt about it.
There's just no need for me to shout you.

I love you as your protector.
I have guaranteed to give you total satisfaction.

If you don't see it?
I know others do see you are loved unquestionably.
In truth, I have given you no reasons to complain.

We give love a good name.

where did it all go wrong?

i haven’t even started writing
but i couldn’t think of anything i did wrong
was it when i liked you first?
or was it because you’re a great pretender?
but now that i’m thinking back again,
maybe it’s me and my low standards to blame

Somebody / Nobody

Somebody, give me your soul.
Clone army, Somebody 1, Somebody 2,
Anybody! Give me to you,
So that I can become Normal.

I am Nobody alone.
Just a waiting John Doe
For somebody to know
I was never my own.

I wish, I wish it was the case
That we were more alike:
That it wasn't such a hike
To walk the way you pace,

But I'm not. I'm only this.
And if you knew me
For even an eternity,
I'm one no one'll miss.

I'm nobody playing a role.

Just something about envy/wishing you were like somebody else. Maybe even normal.

I am Hope

I am hope.
I bear the marks of struggle.
I carry the weight of bruises.
I am hope.
I have faced powerful blows
and been dragged through the dirt.
I am hope.
You may think I have fallen,
but I am still standing.
I am hope.
I am not elegant.
I am not flawless.
I have fought fiercely and endured pain.
I am Hope.
