Gyuwon Feb 2020
How much of their tears do we take
To fill our lives with what they make
STOP CHILD LABOUR

a star, a lonely star
Gyuwon May 2019
I radiate loneliness
And shine alone, brilliantly
I sightsee galaxies
And glare at stardust
Sometimes I turn off the lights
Dream through the bleak night

Forever I travel this endless horizon

Let me go
Gyuwon Jun 2018
**** me
Burn me from the inside
Torture me till I let out a scream
Strangle me until I collapse, powerless
Whats the point of keeping me here
When Ive no will to stay

a paragraph (1)
Gyuwon Apr 2019
weve been trained to have an algorithmic response to anything that occurs to us so that its politically correct and socially not awkward, we have been basically brainwashed to like what society decides it likes and they have a neat name for it: trend. You gotta like it or your social life will probably decline and end up in ruins, maybe not, but probably. Show an appropriate amount of empathy, too much or too little, youre all of a sudden this rude psychotic idiot. Dont try to fit me into a standard and assume that you can manipulate me into acting like everyone else, cos in fact, I am and I refuse to be like the others, we all have a right to be unique and different right? Diversity is key to a society, remember that.
Gyuwon Apr 2019
Released to be discovered

To be found in whole or not
An entirely new question

Living whole, dead partly
All my organs have blood gushing through them
But some of them feel absent

I enjoy being resuscitated
Bring me back to life when Im dead

Let air in my lungs
And sunshine on my skin

I know Im alive
I just cant wait to live again

a tip (from a 15 year old)
Gyuwon Mar 2019
From all of my 15 years of experience in life
I can confidently tell everyone that life is like a blanket thats too short for you

Cover your shoulders and your toes will be freezing
Cover your toes your shoulders will be shaking

So dont try to cover every aspect, make a compromise and cover one thing well

Never allow your tears
To become a full stop to your emotions

Let them be commas
Flowing as your heart wishes

You are not suddenly fine
After crying for five hours

Let the teardrops
-Roll-
Off of your cheeks

They’ll wash your pain away

And leave behind
Open spots
For happiness to settle in

Tears wont find me
Gyuwon Apr 2019
Darkness shines intensely on this endless road
Shadows rule over my somber field
The isolated wasteland looks so desolate
Not a single drop of tear to be found

You will never be located here
Forever be abandoned
You won't ever feel anything here,
Not even sorrow

Feeling dry as sand
Shiver down my spine
Waves of nothing hitting my face
I take pointless steps everyday
Dont bother moving around
Youd end up in the same place anyway

Perhaps Ill be here for a century
But who cares, tears wont find my eyes here

Don't call me a coward
Im not scared to feel
Im just scared for myself

So dont come find me with your feelings
I refuse to feel anything
Radiate me with nothing
So that tears wont find me
143 · Apr 2019
feeling empty
Gyuwon Apr 2019
Let me run around my mind
Cut me up a peice of peace
Countless hours spent doing pointless things
Perhaps Im bound to wasting time

If I could turn back time
Id find my *** a dream and start again

Poetry echos my sadness
Inside my empty cell of ribs
Spare me a second to breathe
My blood is barely flowing

Pull my skin off the bones
And youll find that it was just a cover
Im actually hollow inside

No wonder sadness echos inside me
141 · May 2020
it must go on
Gyuwon May 2020
shut up and play along
until you get the chance

to bloom

smile, innocent one
but never hold your hand out

let them fall
watch them burn in flames

and when darkness retreats
back into your heart where it rests

you will be the only
bit of black
flowering in a land of light

When Im down
And fading like a flower withering away
Someone will shed tear for me
This was a poem originally written in my native language, Korean. However, HePo doesnt seem to accept work in Korean, so this is a translated version

daydream
Gyuwon May 2019
Wind blows,
dusts your shoulders
Everyone can see the weight on your back
The hard times youve been through

Dream your dream
Shoot your shot
Get lost in your mind
Leave yourself alone

Stop time
Wander
Look up
Wonder

Only beautiful people daydream
So make yourself beautiful

32, bad breath
Gyuwon May 2020
your breath smells guilty
and after all that you have done

i shouldn’t be surprised, really
even after you have gone

youve patched up your mistakes pretty badly
but most importantly
i wont be calling you baby
for the rest of this reality

Lightning bolts in your hair
Flames out your mouth
Shooting star in your eyes

You look great
Whoever it is you are

You look great in my mirror
You look great in my eyes

****** battle
A survivor
Exit wounds
Still he moves on
Bruised skin
Armored up
Cracked bones
More room for him to heal

Dont stop believing

Gyuwon Feb 2020
I feel you by my side,
You’re all around

Yet you feel so far-
Like you can’t be found

I hear you all the time
Even without a sound

I still feel your warmth by my side
Like warm sunlight shining on the ground

whenever life gets a little tight
with all the rounds that i fight
i just look up into the night
and keep waiting for the light

i tried writing something bright
but it just didn’t feel that right
the darkness decides what I write
but don’t worry, it’ll be alright
I shouldnt have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know its a poem

You’re an onion.
Gyuwon Mar 2020
I cry every single time that I see you
Yet you still hide away inside these layers

I thought I had known you well enough
But that’s just another layer to cry through

make love to your words
like the way you love yourself

maybe the reason i
wrote this in mere seconds

is because i only have
a few seconds worth of love left for myself
Gyuwon Jan 2020
Bumps smooth out with time
And cracks, well, leaves room for breathing
Maybe you don’t fit flush
But does that mean that you’re in the wrong place?

not every drop of blood
flowing through my body
is as clean
as the water inside the sea

inside all our vessels
flows bad blood
but coming together
we can all flow along

we could be one
just like how all the seas
is just one big pool
made from small droplets

Distance
Gyuwon Sep 2019
Isnt it wonderful
How distance amplifies motion

Youll never know
With your head stuck in the spotlight
How all the small entities
Blow life into the picture

i lack feelings
Gyuwon Mar 2019
Celebrate the dying of my feelings
Pay respect to my shell

Joy got diagnosed with depression
Sadness went to commit suicide
Anger is in a mental asylum
Disgust felt disgusted
Fear got scared of me

---

I feel nothing
Nothing is what i feel

When you hurt me
I feel nothing
Nothing is what i feel

Stab me, Slash me, Chain me and Torture me
I feel nothing
Nothing is what i feel

Dismiss me, Devalue me, Discard me
I feel nothing
Nothing is what I feel

battery
Gyuwon Feb 2019
I charged myself up
Just for you to drain me
You seemed to ignore my sincerity
And dismissed my efforts
You walked all over my dignity
I felt pain in every ******* step

There were times when I used to spark your light
Now that the room is dark, it must mean that its time to let me go
You drank up all of my energy
Now I feel so powerless

While everyone looks up at the stars
I look down and see the ground and my feet
They’re what I stand on, after all
The very foundation of me as a structure

Your voice pierces through my eardrums
But it is not a sound that my brain welcomes
So I censor these distant vibrations
And walk on right past all of your questions

negative words
Gyuwon Feb 2019
untouchable i stand
uncontrollable i live
unforgettable is the memory
unforgivable is you

impossible is forgiveness
improper is your attitude
inappropriate is your actions
insane is gonna be me

decomposing is my soul

Radio Silent
Gyuwon Oct 2019
My heart hums a tune inside
And the vibrations tell me what to do

“Just mute it out”, people told me
So I just listened to what everyone else had to say

But sometimes, I tune back into the now silent channel
And quietly look back at who I used to be

Maybe if I loved myself a little more back then
My radio could have been heard by everyone
But nows a little too late to start over, isn’t it
While writing this piece, I realized that the reason why “influencers” are in such high social position nowadays is because they didnt listen to the people telling them to ignore the sound of their hearts, and now the people who did listen, need something other than themselves to tune into. Isn’t it sad, how the value your heart possesses can only be discovered by yourself, yet so many people ignore it? Everyone might feel better about themselves when they tune into their own stations and the world becomes a place full of unique and interesting individuals.

a life of falling (28)
Gyuwon Apr 2020
i fell again
after thinking i’d hit rock bottom

my mind, a relic from better times

it still dreams


occasionally i see the sky

and the sunlight punches me in the gut
every time it sees me

and the wind kicks me around
with the raindrops
like boulders hurled over my head


its all quiet
down this bottomless pit
with every scream
falling alongside you

i fell again,
thinking i was at rock bottom

yet everytime i fall, my screams scream right back at me
this one is a mess

Different lights reach out to me
And touch my skin to make color
I paint this blue world a bright yellow
And fill empty people with enthusiasm

I am the guardian of color
And I save this monochrome world every day

undo big bang, please
Gyuwon Apr 2019
Death is inevitable
Its just a matter of when it comes
Early or later
It doesnt matter
Today or Tomorrow, in a hundred years
Who cares, all will turn to dust in the end

A meaningless structure of atoms
Thats what we are
Break everything down into molecules, atoms, quirks and electrons, then everything is lifeless
I wouldnt have had to exist if I wasnt here in the first place

undo big bang. please

smile darker .;)
Gyuwon Apr 2020
your mouth speaks of sadness
as it struggles to force a smile

your eyes dance through loneliness
lost in the sea of all the lights

i reach into the darkness
dreams come alive as I hold your hand

the world gets dimmer in your head
so i smile a little darker every stand

Broken
Gyuwon Oct 2019
An infinitely empty feeling overwhelms me sometimes
voids me of all emotions, numbs the senses
I hide away in my vacuum-sealed cage
each howl echoing inside my hollow mind

A man stands in the shattered mirror,
every broken peice telling a different story

Isn't it wonderful
how all these fragments
blow life into the picture?

maybe it isn't the mirror thats cracked
maybe its the man that can't be whole

hurt and ignored, i was barely living
i guess i stopped looking for myself at some point
no longer able to cope
i started to tear myself apart, piece by piece
my memories, just a momento of who i used to be

confusing times
Gyuwon May 2020
i do not understand
why i cant write a single line
without diving deep into
a pit of crippling depression

i refuse to expand
this poetry collection of mine
if all the words just fall through
into chaotic commotions

sound
Gyuwon May 2020
every sound
eventually comes to an end

they seemingly
vanish into mere vibrations
and slowly
lose the story within

-

every sound
takes back the lives it lent

since your birth
you have been paying off
the debt you owe
by living everyday silently

-

every voice tells a different story
but every story is heard

your mountains of debt
are nothing compared to
what you borrowed
when sounds gave you life
Gyuwon Jan 2020
Should I ever wonder off on my own
Ill always remember the road we used to roam
And think of you with every step that I take
Dreaming of all the memories that we used to make

All the stars in the sky will guide me
To all the places not yet travelled
Ill make clouds and rain my love on you
Ride the wind right back onto your heart

So please don’t stop loving the memories we have
And Ill always be thinking of you
Whether I’m across the continent
Or up in the sky shining amongst the stars

— The End —
