Growing

RalphLeave a comment

you don’t want to be in a bubble
but you also don’t want to be in an eye of a hurricane
all criticisms, admonishment, and yelling
I know they come from a good place
and I don’t have any grudges against you
but I wonder
if I started to like myself a little less
when I am yelled at for what I have done
when I am given a silent treatment for failing
I fought my way through,
and I am not sure what I was fighting against
was it the world
or was it myself?
still, I don’t want to be in a bubble
safely protected from all harms way
I want to grow
a story of truth, humanity, and adventure.

Today

RalphLeave a comment

I did live today to my full potential
thanks to that, I remembered our days
days where we walked slowly together
talking about our dreams
and occasional dance we did together
in a warm haven of ours
oblivious to the world outside
smooth, soft, and slow
and when our eyes were open
crystal clear sun rays would tickle
world slowly awaken and reborn

오늘 하루 열심히 살았어요
덕분에 그대와의 좋은 기억이 났어요
세상이 어떻게 돌아가던
우리만의 아늑함 속에
느리게 추던 춤이 생각나요

thank you for stopping by
your scent has been wonderful
I even dreamed the past days of passion
where I thought I was truly alive
or perhaps it was the only time I was truly alive
hahahahaha
what does it matter?
I live my own life.
if you come, come.
if you want to go, go.
I will live my life at my own measure of best effort
I will push my own boundaries of limits
and keep striving to become better than yesterday
I will pay the cost, I will live my life.
good luck.

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.

Throw

RalphLeave a comment

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.

when you decide to fly,
what you notice first is
darkness underneath your feet

telling you “I’ve been there, it’s all gonna work out”
isn’t going to sound much help
ease that brewing cold anxiety

but look into my eyes:
I show you that I lived through my fair share
what yours will be, let it be the world to show you

brother, dream.
dream big.
big enough to rule this fear.
I believe in you.

Red spicy rice cake

RalphLeave a comment

do not despair in knowing all that work is
for this one serving of red spicy rice cake.
do not look down on this red spicy rice cake.
do you know that with each piece of rice cake,
dreams, sacrifices, and tears of chef were spilt?
do you know that with each piece of rice cake,
you can find a piece of your childhood memory?
so do not despair in knowing all that work is
for this one serving of red spicy rice cake.
it is a good, delicious one.

some say, “don’t think about the past”
“you’ll blind yourself to its light
and won’t take a step towards future”
but I’d say, “sing the past”
“sing of its youth, the beauty, the joy,
the tears, the smiles, and the light”


for if you sing enough of its love,
maybe you will move on
maybe you will evolve
maybe you will love again

so, sing the past
embrace the love it sends
spread the love it gifted you
