like the soft warm air
gently breezing by without a trace
our youthful day goes.
just let your body brush against it
feeling its golden warmth to the bones
embrace this moment fully
remember them without a regret

Apex
I see the apex now.
A couple days ago, the sky cleared.
I don’t know how,
but I appreciate all those
who stuck out with me.
It is the time to climb.
it has to be now and here.
let us not look back
but focus on this moment today
and keep the apex in sight.

Hard
I give my gratitude
for reminding me
why I wake up in the morning.
why I go through the grind.
why I pray.
it’s the honor to serve
all those who deserve
a decent shot at this life.
I am returning to the fray,
once more, to earn my dream.

Myself
note for my future self:
don’t forget me —
because through thick of thins things
such as cheap gossip, shows, and movies,
you will forget important things.
even the things you swore you’ll never forget
because it’s easy to get tired.
know that you survived the hellish places;
it’s a proof you can do it; whatever it is you want.
believe in yourself,
remember to lead yourself,
and be responsible.

Rooting
I am rooting for you;
all the hardship is for you to grow.
it is okay to be sad, lonely, and despair.
just hold on.
hold on!
tomorrow’s gonna be alright.
if not, the one after that will be.
it’ll all be worthwhile.

Song
이제는 꿈과 희망과 감사의 노래를 부를 거야
더 이상 아픔의 노래는 그만 부를 거야
씁쓸한 과거는 과거대로 두고
앞으로 향해 나아갈 거야.
그런 과거들이 있었으니
지금이 있는 것이니
나는 지금을 살거야.

Dear
are you well?
I’ve been obsessed with myself lately
I’ve forgotten to ponder upon your well-being
I am well, in fact,
I am sleeping, eating, and breathing very well
so I must be well.
I am curious how you are these days
that why I am scribbling these light letters
in hope that you are healthy and happy.

그대에게
잘 지내나요ㅎㅎ
요즘 내 자신 걱정만 하느라
그대에게 따뜻한 마음을 전하지 못했네요
저는 잘 지내고 있답니다!
숨 쉬고, 잘 자고, 잘 먹고 지내니
잘 지내고 있는 것이겠죠.
그냥, 보고 싶어요!
그래서 이렇게 가벼운 글을 끄적입니다.
건강하고, 행복하게, 잘 지내시길 바라요.

Sunflower
it’s raining all over
the ever blue sky is dark and angry
when will the sun come out I wonder
sturdy ground has become murky
but I will look up
I will choose to grow
please don’t give up
smile is what I will sow

Work
blinking my eyes a few times
at this small yellow lamp light
quietly shining on my desk
solely in the dark of my room.
a picture of an old man
on the cover of a thick black book
silently gazes at me in agony
there is silence
except for the humming of the AC
and the sound of cars zipping by
in silence, all these exist
