come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
Because I have been in that role before,
I recognized the facial expression of a person
Who excused themselves for the betterment of others.
For the greater good, we make a decision
where we put others ahead of us,
and believe that we have done the right thing
to keep the justice in this world.
I could not walk the path knowing it’s hurting others.
More than my own comfort,
I have craved for peace of mind, a sene of meaningfulness.

what are you willing to sacrifice
to hold in your grip
of what you want with such burning desire?
what fills your heart with light
that makes you feel belong even when alone?
are you living with what you want?
or are you afraid to take the leap?

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.

the only source of strength to endure dark nights
was a stream of light I had glimpsed
through the dark stormy clouds
when you showed grace through sacrifice
and placed a piece of faith in me.
I fought the fights, endured blistering scars,
and walked miles upon miles of roads
because of this gem of blessing.
allow me to bestow this also upon you
to protect you throughout your journey.
may you find peace in hardships
may you find joy in all you do.
