POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Unfinished and Untitled.
You are a star, a collection of atoms burning in rotation,
Every second you are alive they are dancing in celebration.
I want this to mean, that my generation will let go of worldly desire
In order to mend the world that we and those before us, lit on fire
Every second you are alive they are dancing in celebration.
I want this to mean, that my generation will let go of worldly desire
In order to mend the world that we and those before us, lit on fire

Nothing yet Everything
Fire be the heart that beats with passion, the creator of both hate, desperation, despair and love
Water be the brain were possibilities stretch endless, gentle waves can morph into a raging storm
Earth be the vessel; shaped by the elements, our bodies are sturdy and one with solid ground
Air be the soul untouchable, our only birthright, it's the source of deja vu and our natural instincts,
…
To have your eyes open and not see but experience
To breath and not have knowledge but embrace existence
For our lives can merely occur parallel to the pulse of the...

Drenched
The manor’s grounds spread far and wide
The hedges are left untrimmed
The flowers have wilted and died
And the layer of mist was thin.
The windows are dull and glazed
The doors all barricaded shut
The ashes from the past blaze
Lay upon the wood from the ol' hut
The house reaches high above the ground
The sky all stained in black
The rain has left the world to drown
Though the sun is now back
Even with the light of day
This place is still drenched in gloom
The setting is in all tones of grey
Waiting for the right...

Seriously?
You must be a magician or something
Cause you’re making poison seep out of your empty words
Your false claims and acts of hypocrisy are causing the walls of my veins to shake
Pouring salt into crystal lakes, blocking up the stream of conversation
Just pointing fingers with no hand, or body behind it, backing it up
You better of been drunk or poppin’ something to say, neigh, TYPE such words
You were my rock until you rolled over and crushed me
And not to mention the rest of us who suffer under the weight of your words
There is no coming back from...

Growing but not Progressing
I've written this a thousand times over
And I’ll write it a thousand more
I don’t like who I am now
Much better than who I was before
And I’ll write it a thousand more
I don’t like who I am now
Much better than who I was before

Untitled 2
I could say that we take life for granted but that's not the case,
We don’t take life for granted, we take ourselves for granted
Our minds, our abilities, our uncontrollable need to dream
To strive, everybody wants that taste of victory
But only some will die for it.
Another way to say miracle
Is hard work
This is what I live by, this is how I decided how I dream
How to make a thought into something more
To not only continue to progress as a person
But to enhance my skills and talents everyday
This is how I will create my...

No Care
I could count with my fingers how much I care
And still have both hands in my pockets
And still have both hands in my pockets

Change of Scene
I want the warmth of the Busan Blue
Fill my book with sketches of Jeju
Live in Ilsan among the autumn dew
Kick up dust in the streets of Gwangju
See Seoul, and that skyline view
This is the dream I choose to pursue

Worth
I feel as if I only have one organ which inhabits me
That my brain is in a liquid form, clotting my blood,
In order to re-enforce my skin and bones
That my very existence is just to breath and think
That all I am worth is just ideals and dreams
Its as if my reach falls beyond that of Earth
And yet my hands can only grasp this soil
Like I am merely just stumbling through the english language
Trying to find the right words,
The right words to translate this foreign brain
That my brain is in a liquid form, clotting my blood,
In order to re-enforce my skin and bones
That my very existence is just to breath and think
That all I am worth is just ideals and dreams
Its as if my reach falls beyond that of Earth
And yet my hands can only grasp this soil
Like I am merely just stumbling through the english language
Trying to find the right words,
The right words to translate this foreign brain

If the eyes
Are the gateway to the soul,
Does the soul flood
when the gateway weeps?
Are the gateway to the soul,
Does the soul flood

Here for you and you for me
I doubt that you're listening
I doubt you're even here
These words I say
Will never reach your ears
I need your hand
You to light the way
Yet I don't wish to be a burden
I don't wish to forever stay-
Like this; I am relying on you too much
And for that I am sorry
If only you didn't care
If only no one knew
Then I could just go
Without hurting you
I doubt you're even here
These words I say
Will never reach your ears
I need your hand
You to light the way
Yet I don't wish to be a burden
I don't wish to forever stay-
Like this; I am relying on you too much
And for that I am sorry
If only you didn't care
If only no one knew
Then I could just go
Without hurting you

Me; and the man inside my head
I checked in and sat down on the floor
This place seems a little less chaotic than before
That’s when he approached me, looking ready for a fight
He said, "You better get up and do something with your life!"
I asked, "What does this world have that I can truly grasp?"
His reply, "Shut the fuck up or I’ll put my foot up your ass!
Hush now piggy, stop your moping about
Or I’ll smack you raw and rip off your snout!"
"But my place is here, I feel no reason to leave
Why is this your problem old man, just leave me be!"
