Grow.
Yusof Asnan May 2018
You thought that
she would grow
wings and save
herself,
She just grew
some roots and
stood for
herself.

Silencing herself.
Yusof Asnan Aug 2018
Her eyes speak of
sorrow which no
words could
describe,
Her lips pursed
trying to keep
her mind from
speaking.
Constantly
thinking just
when she should
say enough.
But she kept
holding on,
Surviving another
moment.

-HIY
576 · May 2018
Weary.
Yusof Asnan May 2018
She has grown
weary of empty
trusts,
Shallow promises
and broken
dreams.
So she break
other's trusts
and played each
of those who
comes next

Becoming strong.
Yusof Asnan Apr 2017
She was never one to grow wings and fly away,
She just can't leave her tree and be vulnerable,
She needed to be strong for herself,
Now she grow roots and became the tree itself.

Exudes.
Yusof Asnan Aug 2018
The flower in the
wasteland exudes
life itself:
The physical
entity of
determination and
will to live.
Yes she may be
damaged from all
the toxic
surroundings.
And yes there
were times she
accepted her
weakness.
But she still
prevails.
Sprouting joy
despite all that.
She's special.
She's the flower
that survived.

I find beauty in you.
Yusof Asnan Aug 2016
The sun breaks to countless stars to your reflection,

Almost like you're the source of light,

Your breeze swifts slowly in motion to your movement,

Captivating me every single time we crossed eyes,

So mesmerising yet none actually knows you,

What you've shown are calmness and grace,

At times you may be vigorous and impulsive,

Ramming down whoever tries to approach you,

To touch you is to feel both calamity and calmness,

You seem to show every bits of you,

But you've only shown your surface,

Yourself, is full of unnoticed wonders,

Even unknown dangers,

You are the ocean, and I find beauty in you.

For she who spoke death
Yusof Asnan Jun 2016
A step away from the ledge,

Tremble oh dear old knees,

For she who spoke death,

Could feel nothing but the dark cold breeze.


A heart so torn,

Knows nothing who she believes,

Ripped over and over again,

Its nothing for what the demon has seized.


They mind speaks of hope,

But none that shows a way,

To get over this hell,

She only wished to live another day.


Her hand is what she fears,

Hiding them as they bear flames,

Burning everything she holds dear,

In the end it would its ashes the same.


It was not like in the books,

They wear no mask or disguise,

They were friends that went partways,

Bringing her only demise.


The demons sung only warmth,

Bringing down her own guard,

And here she was left on the ledge,

With the leap as her last Card.

Intentional.
Yusof Asnan May 2018
knowing him was
her choice.
With all the
worst the had
happened,
She chose to
carry on.
She stood strong.
Even when broken.
He came like
wind,
Gentle and
natural;
To her skin.
Filling every
gaps of void,
of once she
called heart.
He's nothing new,
Yet different
entirely.
For she could
feel more;
Know herself
more.
Knowing him was
intentional.
Loving him; No.

The doubts of your feelings
Yusof Asnan Jun 2016
You began to wonder,
If it is real,
If your heart is beating right,
Whether it is really what you feel.

Somewhere between thoughts,
You knew exactly what it is,
Your eyes saw it coming from a millennia away,
But your heart wants it as it is.

The cold, bitter truth,
Has never looked so sweet,
You can blame your hopes for that,
Because your dreams are something you cannot meet.

Physical space.
Yusof Asnan May 2018
So many worlds.
So many lives to
exist in.
Yet in a mere
coincidence;
Of time and
space.
We exist in each
other's.
But as the worlds
orbit around
life,
You can't deny
the space.
At first from
within,
A void in your
heart.
To a physical
space dividing
us.
And we got on our
own way.
Like nothing ever
happened.

The burning heart
Yusof Asnan Jul 2016
Our body-
Is like a bunch of cigarettes;
With the filters on our fingertips.
You might think its gonna start at the ends.
Truth is,
It's gonna start from the inside.
And the fire is lit from your heart.

Best day.
Yusof Asnan May 2018
Somewhere along
the line of
meeting him for
the first time
and being left
at the altar, is
the best day of her life.

Stopping the cycle
Yusof Asnan Mar 2018
Care not of what she did,
She did of what she had to.
More of an eye for an eye;
And the cycle would go on.

Take the pain, of what she did.
Bury it deep and change your view.
Oh and FYI,
You'll learn to move on.

Grins and smiles
Yusof Asnan Jul 2016
My demons,

Have never spoken a word,

They were always silent,

But they never left,

Even for a second.


They grinned once in a while,

Smiling while looking at me,

Yet they have never touched me,

Or took even a step closer.


They're not doing anything,

Just patiently waiting,

Maybe that was their desire,

Just to see me fall,

Watching every step to the fall.

The role of a support.
Yusof Asnan May 2016
Such beauty,
Such grace,
Following her around,
Supporting her back,
Pushing her forward when she is shoved back,
Blocking incoming hits when she is knocked down,
But she has not looked at you,
She would not look at you,
Because you're always at her back.
Once you are no longer supporting her,
And she would be cornered down,
Then she would see you,
But only as someone who let her down.

The king and his army
Yusof Asnan Jul 2016
A king rides his horse to the battlefield,

Leading a battle that he believed himself.

The knights surround their king,

In belief that they are willing to die for a better cause.

The soldiers march on the front line,

With believe that this victory would bring them back to their families.


Along ride the army of the kingdom,

With their own beliefs that brought them together.

Even in a dreadful event,

There is always something that would bind one to another.


Be it for different beliefs,

Someone is bound to strand by and fight with you.

Even if it's just for a moment,

They are there to help you win.

Stop the self torture.
Yusof Asnan Aug 2016
You kept pushing me back,
Kept breaking me down,
Shattering me as soon as you see an opening,
Blocking off all possible approach.

It's not me who broke your trust,
It's not me who broke my words,
I've been only trying to fix what I didn't break,
So why am I to blame?

You said you need time,
But you've been wasting yours,
I'm not asking to forget,
I'm asking to accept,
and finally move on

You might think that its better to handle it alone,
without burdening people of your own,
But please don't forget,
you also deserve some happiness that I'm helping you to get.

Yusof Asnan Nov 2016
Every wish was the same
To forget all those little things that would hurt
But who would've expect
That I couldn't remember things that would matter

The role of a support II.
Yusof Asnan May 2016
Keep backing her up,

Keep helping her stand up,

Keep protecting her,

She might not see it now,

But you should be still doing it when she does.


-HIY

A vow.
Yusof Asnan May 2017
You are mine,

I am yours.

With this bond,

We bind with words.

You shan't leave,

And I shan't hurt,

That is the promise I give to you

Wolf blood.
Yusof Asnan Aug 2016
We believe in patience, we believe in time.

Let them wound us till it looks furs covering our body of pride,

To bow down to the very same ground that they spit on,

A gentleman is a patience wolf,

When we gathered enough, we would hunt them down one by one,

When the time is right, we still feast like the beast we are.
481 · Aug 2016
Unspeakable thoughts.
Yusof Asnan Aug 2016
She sits there in the corner,
All torn and broken,
Afraid of who might come through the door,
Trembling to even the slightest sound,
Terrified of world behind the door.

She would stay wake,
Maybe days; perhaps weeks;
Might even get to months,
Worried that they would take her,
If she falls asleep.

A figure came running through the door on a silent night,
Saying that there's a way out,
While pointing at the windows,
He said jump,
He said now.

She ran crashing through the windows,
Falling through the 6 floors apartment,
Face first to the concrete,
Head smashed like a rotten fruit,
And that was the end of her.


-HIY
The figure was only in her head, the voice was only her own. Desperation calls out the deepest desire, in a way that could push you out of your fear.

The beloved apprentice.
Yusof Asnan Aug 2016
Trusting her with a book of spells,
With all the knowledge of destruction for yourself,
Teaching her each and every incantation,
Letting her be to practice it all.
Even if there's no certainty that she won't use it on you,
But you are willing to bear the pain if that is what she wants,
Because you know you are willing to give your entire soul to her.

Now that's a great sacrifice for someone.
To be able to give your all to the person you truly care.


-HIY

Doubt.
Yusof Asnan May 2016
Known with his many masks,
Comes in various forms.
Like a virus;every second only makes him stronger
Overpowering you over your own body,
Such strength that could even shut your mind.
With license to ****;
Murdering your dreams,
Stealing away your hopes.
He who has ****-counts way higher than failure ever did.

Sun.
Yusof Asnan May 2018
Like the sun,
her beauty
surpassed her
even at her
leaving.
Always giving
light to others,
For she is kind.
And in her
arrival, She
Brightens up
someone's day.
I thought I was
helping the sun
find out her
beauty,
Turns out, I'm
mesmerised by her wisdom.

Repeat to failure.
Yusof Asnan Dec 2016
Don't blow the flame out,
You know it's not too late,
You may be down now,
But it's not the end.

The moment you feel like losing,
Know that you haven't lost.
Take another breath,
And give it another shot.

One last shot.

It's not such a bad thing.
I want you to know that,
In order for you to get high up,
There will be more reasons to stay down.

So give it another kick,
Push your self above the limit,
Because even when you end up going down,
You'll be glad that you have tried your best.

Your only best.


-HIY

The voice.
Yusof Asnan May 2016
Her voice began as whispers to the people's soul,
And quickly grew to a crescendo of battle cry for the fighting spirits.
She raised her hands and say "We are not the ones who are weak today",
With thunder-like roar stood the soldiers of today.

Spears came down like rain to the battlefield,
With only shields on their arms as their salvation.
War horses came charging in the front line,
Breaking down all means of defense from the front.

Those spears are not spears,
But words that society has poured upon them,
Those horses are horses,
But judgmental peers pressured their very existence.

While she is just one person,
Just a little voice in the midst of the dying world,
"Live life as if it was your last" She chanted,
Was enough as an inspiration to keep on going,


-HIY
459 · May 2018
Release.
Yusof Asnan May 2018
He'd come in your
darkest hour.
Pull you out to
the light.
Cleaned you up.
Teach you who to
never fall again.
And by then, He
will release you
of your sorrows.

Dreams and their demons.
Yusof Asnan May 2016
It starts with a dream,
Seeing a garden full of hope,
A wonder full of goodness,
People can be easily blinded by that.

Losing sight of what they tend to forget,
Turning a blind sight to what they should be wary of,
Sometimes its hard to believe,
That nightmares are dreams too.

So what makes a person forget,
Is the possibility of something you love,
could become your killing,
After all, the devil was once an angel too.

A helping hand
Yusof Asnan Mar 2016

How far I've reached out for her,

I may have not been the shoulder she could trust her head on,

But my hands have been holding out even before she was drowning

Protect.
Yusof Asnan May 2017

And if you fear butterflies;
I will **** them too.
I won't **** humans,
But I will stop them from hurting you,
Same as I would patch your wounds;
Every single time.

When I go down.
Yusof Asnan Sep 2016
It's like I missed the alarm,
So I'm trapped here dreamin',
Whole time screamin',
Trying hard to stop believin',

Clenched a fist in my hand,
So hard that I thought I'd grow wings,
Lot of pressure in my veins,
But I can't feel a thing.

Took my body on the edge,
Took myself up in a pledge,
When the time that I'd go down,
I'd bring all that brought me down.


-HIY
449 · Dec 2016
The wait.
Yusof Asnan Dec 2016
He was never one with words,
He have those in his head,
But not in his voice.

He believed in waiting for the right moment,
And time will reveal it all,
Without ever changing what already is.

Another hero came rushing in,
Shaking her world,
And of what she knows.

He was there first,
But he was not the one to claim,
Years of effort has gone to the drain.


- HIY
Sometimes it doesn't matter if you were there for them first and that you were by their side the entire time.
A new hero will always come and change what you know about them, and as fast as waves that the new hero will be the one for them.

Different.
Yusof Asnan Apr 2018
He loved her whole,
He loved her fully.
All her broken pieces,
He mend her soul.
But of a different form.
He changed her;
To what he wants.

Imperfections.
Yusof Asnan Aug 2016
She is flawed, yet she is kind.
She help others but she lies.
She is always ******* herself even when she always breaks.
That is what you might not see, and you
will not hear her asking for help.
You can feel that she is just not whole to begin with.

Hello there.
Yusof Asnan Oct 2017
Ages of writer's block,
Unmotivated of ever being productive,
Witty lines became depressing,
Every word seems so boring as ever.

A new start was all that was needed,
A shove from the back for it to begin,
Its been a while since ive got this feeling,
More longer that i could remember.

October is the creativity month,
The hype is really living up to its name,
And so here i write for the first day,
And all i could say is; Hello there Inktober!

The poem itself.
Yusof Asnan Jul 2017
Countless hours,
Sleepless nights,
He couldn't write any more.
As he opened a new page every time,
His thoughts got lost in the crisp air,
As nothing came out from his pen.
He kept thinking on,
When did he stop writing,
A moment of when it all start.
And then it hits,
It was always her,
She was always the poem.

Dreams.
Yusof Asnan Dec 2016
No such things as good dreams and bad dreams,
Dreams are dreams,
No matter how much it could shake you,
Your reality is what matters the most.
You're gonna die from the inside from those dreams,
But you're gonna show them that you're still alive.

Falling.
Yusof Asnan May 2018
Her pillows damp
with her tears.
For what she felt
was the worst.
Broken to pieces
and left
unchecked.
She will never
love again she
said.

Then he came and
changed the
pillows.
Wiped her of
those tears,
And calmed her
down.
Stayed there till
she stood on her
own.

Along time then
she smiles.
Ridden of her
sorrows and pain.
He stayed with
her till then,
She didn't
realize she was
falling again.

I'm all torn,

With no more reason to go on,

I've just lost,

All the will to survive,

Since you've walk away,

Out of my life,

This is too much.


You've sworn,

That you'd never be gone,

You've crossed,

All the trust that I have,

I couldn't see a day,

In my life,

Without your touch.


Just wait where you stand,

Don't you wanna see what I've planned?


-HIY
I know I should stay away from rhymes, but it'd be a waste not to try, the hardest part wasn't connecting the words and the message or matching the rhymes, but actually a title for it. Anyone can suggest me the title for it? you can comment or message me here :)

Comfort in hell.
Yusof Asnan Jun 2016
Between the two endings,
To her, Hell wouldn't be the lesser choice,
At least she knows it's always gonna hurt,
The demons are always gonna lie,
All of them will stab her back,
And they won't even try to be sincere.

Knowing that they are who they are
It wouldn't hurt that much,
Than being hurt by the masked angels,
with their tainted wings.

Perhaps hell wouldn't be so bad.
And maybe that's why she finds comfort in hell.

Wear it.
Yusof Asnan Oct 2017
Tiddy tuddy tuddy thud.
That's how the egos drop,
Some lift it high above their head,
Some just put it in their name tag:
And wear it.

Initially its a boost of confidence,
And it grows warmer in their head,
Then it became a source of power;
Generating their mind,
But they don't realise it.

All those tacky wacky silly studs,
Not knowing they're way over their heads,
Chewing something they can't swallow;
And choked themselves;
Of their own ego

And now she breaks.
Yusof Asnan Apr 2017
Over encumbered by burden,
She finally breaks down.
Screaming every pain and sorrows,
That had cling to her very soul.

Now she lay there helpless,
Feeling as vulnerable as she could ever be.
With questions of how it should be ...
Easier to just die.
