Wrong

RalphLeave a comment

regardless of my intention,

in every direction I went,

I was told I was wrong.

That I am the bad guy.

But in quiet silence,

when I peer into myself,

I realized it’s the accumulation

of my neglect, laziness, and carelessness.

So I sat down.

I started to write, draw, and read.

There’s no need to run or fight.

Just fly into your imagination.

Middle school

In the end, it was just a room.

I sat alone in a dark classroom.

I stretched out my arm out to the window,

through giant curtains that looked like long skirts,

and let the white sunlight shine on my skin.

The shouts, the ruckus, and the chats,

All dissipated into thin air.

All that was left in the end

was this empty room.

So do not be afraid no more.

And forgive yourself.

For this, too, shall pass.

Congratulations,

For having made it so far.

Okay

Don’t you worry.

All things may be falling apart,

All people may be pointing their fingers at you,

It will be alright.

Your eyes have been blessed with sunshine

on a quiet Pacific Ocean beach,

at the break of the dawn in the middle of a desert,

by the sunset in the middle of a vast pasture.

You are not alone.

I am here

with you.

it’s quiet, but not heavy.
a clear light blue sky,
and bright airy sun ray
leans into my navy shadow room.

I part my lips to say:
“I know you are here
even if I cannot see you now.

Thank you for all you did for me.
Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you for staying with me.”

and I closed my eyes.

Goal

are we remnants of our thoughts,
memories, and traces of foods?
what do we hold on to
when the world shakes us?
what keeps our heart warm
when everyone has left
our snow white party at night?

I suspect this:
we create new meaning each minute.
we breath and reach out our hands
into the future unknown
then we will arrive
at our destination soon.
