come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
I do not see a way out of this
with my own eyes, I don’t.
It is times like this I ask for help
to overcome what I must overcome
and to withstand what I must withstand.
the weight feels bone-crushing
the sharpness, as shape as the tip of a lance
give me a chance.
I will go where I must go.

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

when the heart aches,
and it’s raining all over,
bright day’s long way to go,
smile.
smile, not only out of spite,
but from a goodwill too
it won’t last forever,
but nor will this pain be too.

‘Life’s for a gambler,’ you say,
Gamble for what, though?
Vainglorious attention, lust, or obsession?
I’d say, for survival; for freedom; for life.
Focus. What’s happening now? Who’s been hit, robbed, or deceived? Why?
Think. What’s going to happen now? What are you going to do?
Execute. What’s time, before the deadline, till the weights drop dead? hold your ground.
Pray.
