Hope

no more bitter sweetness
no more I-have-lived-it-all bullshit
yes to leap of faith
yes to deep dive into the unknown
and yes to willing to try
when I wake up tomorrow morning
I want to experience it
I want to live it
I want to get closer to my dream.

오늘 하루
내 꿈을 향해 다가가는 하루
내가 원하는 하루.

Gratitude

I did not know I’d be here 5 years ago
I had felt as though I was completely lost
lost in ocean as dark storm raged on
I only had a life vest to hold onto

who would have known it would be seen by others
who would have known I’d be boarded
onto this new world, world so bright
as I take one more step, I pray to pay my gratitude

오직 감사함만이 있을 뿐.

New beginning

it’s yet another fresh start,
full of unknowns.
a whirlpool of butterflies in the heart,
ghosts of olden memories groans.

true to it all along
the unconscious calling
atoned for deeds gone wrong
now rising to face challenges

I pray this path will be the way
the way of becoming
what is true to all that is laid
the road to the living

새로운 시작을 맞이한다.
초심을 잃지 아니하며
이 길이 먼 훗날
떳떳한 길이 되길 바라며

Rumble

know what you must exhaust
know what you must save
rumble in your heart
don’t let it go to waste

surprised, you will be
how money can save your neck
don’t underestimate value of saving
it could just be your saving grace.

if you fall (I hope you’ll learn its taste)
rise again (in spite of what all expect)
learn (but don’t compromise)
and do it again (but better this time)

살아 남아.
넘어지더라도
배우고 일어서
다시 시도하는거야.

Throw

I want to make a throw that matters.
No matter what others laugh at or say
I want to make a point for you.
And for this, I throw it with all I have.

Getting ride of impurities
by thousands of hammering strikes
I want to get rid of false images in my head
with a excoriating heat of silence.

언젠가 떠오르리라
가슴에 품은 정열의 꿈.
