I wish I were made of stone
So your words would never hurt me
I wish I were cold as ice
Then maybe I wouldn't be lonely

I wish I were made of steel
So my strength would never waver
If only I could turn back the clock
To a time when I felt safer

But I'm only flesh and bone
And your words have left me bleeding
My heart is torn apart
It's a wonder it's still beating

You made up your mind
Given me your final answer
What we shared is in the past
Time to write a brand new chapter

I will fix my broken heart
Some how piece it back together
It may never be the same
It'll bare this scar forever

But I'll be strong, I'll be alright
Though I'm not as hard as steel
And I can't turn back the clock
In time....my heart will heal

the soul of this city
        calls me like no other


the lights shine across
         a beacon i long to see


this city has my heartstrings
        tied like thread to its core


i want to see my ancestors
         that traveled that land before


the soul of this city
       calls like a song to my being


but more than seoul would I like to see
in korea itself is where i'd like to be

She told me
That I am
So much more stronger  
Than I believe.

Which I already knew,
But I’m tired of carrying that weight.

She told me that my trauma
Does not define me,
Yet it is all that I know.

She told me that I am a survivor
But truth be told
Sometimes the aftermath hurts more than the war.

I am sick again



but there's no sniffles or no sneezing.

that little girl
with innocent eyes
and a sweet smile
tortured and *****
even the devil
must be surprised
at the evil
and tyranny of men
i am saddened to be a part of humanity
or more accurately
the lack of it.
