Love is blind
Alex Teng Oct 2020
You can fall in love listening,
You can fall in love smelling,
You can fall in love talking,
You can fall in love looking.

At the same time,
Listening to the same song bores you,
Smelling the same perfume makes it less special,
Talking to the same person agitate you,
And looks will fade over time.

It started with love,
Excitement ,
Hopes,
And ends with
Reality,
Responsibilities.

Eventually, it becomes familiarity.

Love is blind.

It's hard but it's true
Alex Teng Aug 2019
The fact that you hate me now,
Meant a lot to me,
I have succeeded,
In my own way,
To ensure that I won't be in the way between you two.
Stay safe and keep the smile girl

I don't
Alex Teng Jul 2019
I don't hate you, although I should.
But I'm grateful for what you did,
It made me stronger and happier.

Thank you,
Because of you,
I learned what I deserve and what I don't,
Between what I want and what I don't need,
Between who to love and who to let go.

What attracts man
Alex Teng Oct 2019
Woman's smile, for example, attracts a man;
but an even temper retains him.

A pretty gown attracts a man;
the knowledge that it was inexpensive delights him.

A pleasant manner attracts a man;
brightness of brain holds him.

A knowledge of how, when and where to be a little stately, attracts a man;
an appreciation of the folly of frivolity, wins his respect.

A respect for the religious belief of every human being attracts man;
irreverence in woman is to him abominable.

A consideration for his comfort attracts a man;
a continuation of this makes him your humble slave.

A chat which there is no malice, attracts a man;
neither scandal nor evil speaking make a woman sweet and lovely to him.

Be the extinguisher,
Stop the candle from burning herself out,
From the matches that are trying.

Eye contact
Alex Teng Jul 2019
It's when we fall into slumber,
When we cry, when we remember,
Through the short times that we've shared,
For all the pain we compared,
It's when I looked you in the eyes,
It's when my heart couldn't lie,
For the hundredth of time,
You've hurt me inside,
I still can't let you down.

Education
Alex Teng May 2019
Gas chambers built by engineers,
Children poisoned by chemist,
Infants killed by nurses,
Innocents killed by soldier,
Education should train human,
To be more human.

Moon
Alex Teng Apr 2019
The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.

Differences
Alex Teng Feb 2020
We all are stubborn,
We all make wrong decision,
But we all ain't rich.

'Principle' is what we all say when a successful man is being stubborn,
And a 'risk taker' is what we all call when a successful man made a wrong decision.
'Man' is a general term referring to a person regardless of the gender please don't get me wrong

Men's pain
Alex Teng Dec 2019
Why alcohol taste so bad,
Yet man can't quit,
Because a man's pain,
Can only be swallowed in his stomach.

Drinking is just a temporary paralysis,
Life goes on after waking up,
A man's pain can't be told casually,
Because they are carrying a whole family behind them.

Alex Teng Sep 2019
Be
Sometimes I wonder,
What would I be,
If I didn't made those mistakes,
Would I be happier,
Would I be stronger,
Would I be able to make my parents prouder,
Or would I be a loser,
Or someone who's prouder,
Someone who lack the empathy,
To sympathise those weaker.

YOU ARE ALREADY ENOUGH
Alex Teng Apr 2019
Buy this car,
You will get girls,
Buy this bra,
You will get guys.

We are seeing it so much,
We start to believe in these lies,
But the truth is ,

The makeup they are selling
to make you feel prettier,
Is the same makeup you buy,
to stop feeling *******.


And what about the movies we watch,
all the shows on TV,
The more I watch, the more I see,
I need you to complete me ?

And yes,

Love is the answer,
Love is the key,
But if you can't love yourself,
How could you ever love me ?


When I said I am dumb,
You would say I am so brilliant,
When I said I am weak,
You would  say I am so resilient.

Why was you so dutifully,
Filling my cup constantly,
And yet treating your own cup
So irresponsibly.

Now you have been crying,
But  I need you need to be standing,
Because you have been forgetting,
That you were who you've been looking for.

Remember this in your core,
It's time to stop looking for more,
Until you could look through all your fear,
And look into a mirror.
And see clearly that the woman,
looking back at you,
Was the only one who can make you happy,


And
YOU ARE ALREADY ENOUGH



I am not anymore special and unique than you,
That is why I'm here to tell you,

YOU
ARE ALREADY ENOUGH

And when you start to see that,
You will start to be that,
Your world will get brighter,
And your load will get lighter.
And you can see that with life,
You can be a lover,
Not a fighter.


And that life ?
YOU DESERVE IT

Because
YOU ARE WORTH IT



There is no point letting
yourself keep forgetting
Because no matter what you say or do,
YOU ARE PERFECT

So today,
I hope I can leave you with a direction correction,
Away from the flaws you see in your reflection,

They aren't flaws to me
They are simply protection
Against all the doubt
You have of your perfection.

Be the one
Alex Teng Mar 2019
Be the person who cares more,
Be the person who tries harder,
Be the person who loves stronger,
Be the person that gives more of a **** than all the half alive people surrounding us.

Be the person who answer the messages,
Be the person who shows up to commitments
and doesn't leave others guessing or doubting their worth.
Be the person you wish you were dating,

If you are sick of the love game then stop playing it,
If you are tired of the ******* then get out from it.


Because the last thing this world needs is another leecher.


If you are the only one left with burning passion in your heart, use it all.
At the end of the day ,
Go out with a broken heart that gave too much and love too strongly.
Go out with the fact that you've given your all
and didn't hold anything back even tho it hurts.


Because it's definitely a much more fulfilling way of living than the alternative.
It is always better to die trying than living without knowing.

I would like to express my gratitude to my parents

It has been difficult for both of you from the day I was born ...
I was born with my small and large intestine twisted...
I was sent to hospital several times because of asthma...
I had a lot of accidents since I was small...
I was stubborn , naughty, playful , and a hyper kid ...

It was difficult for you  raising up
A child like me


I wish I was better ,
I wish I was healthier ,
I wish I didn't let u shed a tear,
and I wish that I can make you happier....

For those tears you shed for me ,
Because of my accidents,
of my stubborness,
or even my wrongs,
I'm sorry...

I can't turn back time to change those events,
But I promise that I'll do better this time ..

Thank you for giving me a chance to see this world ,
Thank you for raising me up ,
Thank you for providing me a shelter,
A place I could find comfort ,
and I call home..

Thank you for enduring me,
I was a stubborn kid ,
I made mistakes I knew I shouldn't,
It was a learning process,
For me to find my true identity,
And I thank you for helping me ,
Helping myself to discover me.

When I was small,
I promised myself to let you proud,
And to let you shed tears of happinness,
But sometimes,
I don't do it well..
And I knew you were dissapointed for myself,
So thank you for giving me a opportunity to change,
And thank you for your efforts in raising me up.

Someday someone won’t be afraid of how much you love.
They won’t stay on the shore; they’ll meet you in the depths
You weren’t made for shallow waters,
Your heart is an ocean.

A better world
Alex Teng Apr 2019
We all need a shift in perspective from time to time,
The world is selfish because humans are flawed,
And because of that,
we often take even the simplest of pleasures for granted.
When is enough truly enough?

When you complained that the food is not tasty enough ,
Remember there are kids begging for leftover just to stay alive.

When you complained the sun is too hot,
Remember there are people who can't afford clothes to keep them warm.

When you complained the job is hard,
Remember there are people who sacrified their life for the job.

When everything turns out wrong for you in life,
Remember that you are still alive.

You might not be able to change the world's perspective  at a day.
But we might be able to do that one person at a time.

It all starts from you.

Hurt
Alex Teng Apr 2019
I don't know what's killing me ,
The guilt of loving you,
Or the pride of leaving you.

Some say it painful to wait for someone
Some say it's painful to forget someone
But the worst pain come when you don't know whether to wait or to forget

If you don't heal what hurt you,
You will bleed on people who didn't cut you.

Butterfly
Alex Teng May 2019
He feels so ugly
That the only way he can find some peace
Is to share his pain with others

You aren't what he said  
You are the opposite
Find your butterfly

He hate himself so much
That he believe that the best way to feel beautiful is to make others ugly.
Stay safe and stay strong

Guess who
Alex Teng May 2019
Stop trying to be anything
If everyone just focused on enjoying life
And stopped pretending to be something
they think someone else wants
We'd all be having gutsy relationships
instead of the ridiculous games
Of "guess who" we seem to keep finding.
