What's the truth?
What's true?
The truth is
he hurt me.
The question is
which "he"?
There's been so many.

I always reached for the stars thinking that it was you.
In my life full of chaos, you were the one who gave me a colorful hue.
I watched you as you swayed your body
Throughout this catchy rhythm and loud melody.
Your smiles that worth thousands of butterflies
Our fate is impossible to catch in our eyes.

I prayed every night to hug you and kiss you before I sleep
For in your sparkling eyes made me easily leap
It doesn’t matter how long I’d wait
Rumors around started to burn into hate
You are the star twinkling at the darkest skies
Your every movements are watched in every eyes

How I wish I was beside you
Holding, hugging and comforting you
Optimistic words that encourage you to do better
My heart is really shot like a jagger
Then I realized I’m out of your league
The endeavors will never be with us even if I beg
Hi!! I made this poem specifically for my NCT bias, Jung Jaehyun! Posting this poem as my gratitude for him and a birthday gift? LOL! Whatever, hope you give some thoughts about this poem. Criticisms are highly appreciated. Lovelots, Shem.
Not in anyway conventional.
Something surreal.
Something textured.
an abstract piece of art.

inflicting waves of emotions on me
with just a single glance.
how do people make good things out of love?
music. art. poems
...is love really that beautiful
to be a subject of something magical?
sometimes I wonder, what could i make out of love too
People aren’t fun, but paper is
I enjoy the feeling of writing on it
I learn to draw, day by day
People aren’t fun, but paper is
So I bring more paper by midday
I enjoy the feeling of writing on it
One thing my family and many others hated about me when I was younger was not that I loved art and wanted to draw, but more or less how unorganised I was; I would throw paper on the floor, practically grab any paper I could find and claim it as my own and it got to a point my family hid paper from me, but it was hilarious because I would always find it.

When you start off with your talents as a child, it’s quite beautiful how they can comfort you. I was very sheltered, not one for talking but I loved drawing for myself and others who would ask. Art always gave me a sense of comfort, it almost felt like days I wouldn’t have anyone around me, I would not be bothered because... I had art.

I also mentioned I loved writing on it, when young I was often given assignments from the school to write in a theme or re-write previous literature, it was insane the types of things I could do as a child regarding stories. I suppose I always had a love for writing, I just never really realised it was there, I just did it.
This poem’s form was Triolet, this quite similar to Limerick that I used in Music Notes for its repetition, but I do think the simplicity of it, does still add to that childish nature I had as a kid.

All I am to you,
Simply put, is negative space.
Some may see my beauty, yet you do seek to replace

Me with some other hue, some ditzy, dumb, deranged, doppelgänger
All different shades but the shape remains the same.

Go ahead, tell me I’m wrong, put me in my place,
Prove to me that to you, I’m not an empty face.
I admit it.
I blew you up.
No ill-feeling,
I just had to do it.

There you were,
so small,
so young,
so innocent,
and I blew you up.

I had nothing against you.
In fact I rather liked you.
I still do like you,
quite a lot,
but it had to be done.

You need to understand,
that photo of you was so tiny
I couldn’t even tell
if it was you or not.

So I blew you up
until you filled the screen,
and I could see that it really was you.
You looked so much better like that,
much younger,
but still you.

So I checked the colours
and saved it.
Oh yes, I kept the original too,
so that I still had what you had sent me.

But you must agree.
You were so small,
I just had to blow you up.

I hope you don’t mind.
sunny afternoons
a bar stool,
music
friendship in one.
I'll swallow my pride
to keep a ***** as a
friend for awhile
She knows who she is
