come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
I feel blue
well what have you the clue?
ticking sound of a needle is getting louder
I am holding my two fists tighter,
faster, harder, better, but I realized
less soft I become, less connected, fossilized
dear blue sky,
here I lie
I have done my part, I believe.
if you will, show me what it will be:
the dream of our dreams.
학이시습지면 불역열호아라
진인사 대천명이라
나는 최선을 하고 있는 걸까요?
지도와 도움이 필요해요.
시간이 되면
도와줘요.

it starts here.
the life I have chosen,
the moment I chose to live,
it starts here.
it’s a large blank canvas,
one I will draw with my heart rhythm
one I will push and pulll with my imagination
following the smell of curiosity
the life I have chosen starts here.

I thought smelled the scent of cheese
but then again, it could have been urine.
I turned and stared down onto a rock.
a grey, squared, flat rock.
there was a flower, albeit withered, on it.
a puff of white, yellow, and light purple
here and there carefully strewn about
and you think for a bit
who would have placed it there so carefully
as the dawn gets broken by the rising sun
and the cool azure hue dissipates
could it have been his last prayer
could it have been his last offering
could it have been his last hope?
one man’s fight,
one man’s statement,
and one man’s journey.

drawing the fine line is important
between running and building
a castle of your own
you don’t move: the ocean wave will catch up
you move too fast: the castle wobbles
hopefully, in this intricate dance
we’ll find our own haven
and sing to the rhythm
and explore our journey.

each step towards growth
faces resistance from the world not to
like the resistance of air as you soar towards the sky,
you feel each part of your body pulled by gravity
but hold on.
if you withstand this pressure
you will reach your goal
you will enjoy freedom in the atmosphere
and you will find your strong self.
온 사지가 떨어져 나갈 것처럼
성장통이 다가 온다 한들
버텨야만한다. 그럼으로써
우린, 더욱더 강해질 것이다.

there are so many things you would want to say
but
you knew you had to keep them in;
stoicism, inferiority complex, principle;
you name it. there’s enough reason to sacrifice
but one day, the words will start to bud
growing into a tree, feeding on imagination
and you may build the world
with the words you’ve kept in.

piercing through the focal point
we see through the future
what do we lose
for this great adventure of the past
woe is the ignorant
of the future marching down with thunder
I wonder
if we’ll survival this trip.
미래를 모르는 현재
과연 우리는 살아남을 수 있을까.
현재의 우리는
미래에 맞서 어떻게 살아남는가.

I did not know I’d be here 5 years ago
I had felt as though I was completely lost
lost in ocean as dark storm raged on
I only had a life vest to hold onto
who would have known it would be seen by others
who would have known I’d be boarded
onto this new world, world so bright
as I take one more step, I pray to pay my gratitude
오직 감사함만이 있을 뿐.

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

know what you must exhaust
know what you must save
rumble in your heart
don’t let it go to waste
surprised, you will be
how money can save your neck
don’t underestimate value of saving
it could just be your saving grace.
if you fall (I hope you’ll learn its taste)
rise again (in spite of what all expect)
learn (but don’t compromise)
and do it again (but better this time)
살아 남아.
넘어지더라도
배우고 일어서
다시 시도하는거야.
