I Received My Report Card Today

I received my report card today
and "damn" was all I could say.
Where am I going with all these grades?
A child like me, what have my mother made?

How can I ever look anyone in the eye
when all I had to do is get my grades high?
And how will I cope when I already failed?
I was the head, now tip of the tail.

Maybe I was distracted and couldn't think
but all these months are gone in a blink.
I want to change...but it's too late
because this report already determined my fate.

Now I am lost, I couldn't try more
because nothing is interesting, everything's a bore.
I had dishonored my family and let down my life,
and to no man could I be his wife.
For who would want a disgrace as their dear?
and neither do I want to be their burden nor fear...

What can I do without a qualified mark?
The only place I belong to is the dark.
I tried so hard and got nowhere.
Should've realized life was never fair.

Those who did least, often got the best
and those who tried best always got detest.
It's a trend, an agonizing rule
that turned these geniuses to idiotic fools,
that broke their heart as the clock ticks,
that made healthy minds corrupting and sick.

The time has come to make up my mind
to face reality or hide some place only Death can find.
Maybe this temporary regret would remain
and make me suffer from inevitable pain.

Wasted

poured the wine.
These two cups
intertwined.

Eye on eye,
face to face
...lips by lips,

hips by hips.
Hot and wet.
Rocked the bed.

Cold and bare
sweet lovin'
filled the air.

Only chance
made it right,
single glance.

Twisted and turned.
One night stand,
no return.

Life Isn'T a Wish Granting Factory

Life isn't a wish-granting factory.
It's the sweet cover of open lip's mockery.
It's a house for all to live in - 
the liars, the murderers and the rest of the sins.

Life steals your childhood dreams,
puts it in a jar and makes it seem
as if it just gifted you a present
because you lived in its past and presence.

Then in the future - if Life gives you any,
you'll see that Life is playing games, at once, to many;
you'll resent Life for giving you puzzles and quizzes
that once resolved will just turn to mere bliss.

In the corner of The Room where broken things lie
are your wishes - once soaked with hope but now dry,
drained from the core as time goes on
flowing in the dumpster of Lost and Forever Gone.

But at the end of the day, you find
as you lay on your grave and memories rewind:
Life was honey, it was fun and precious but on the contrary
you recalled the simplest truth - that Life wasn't a wish-granting factory.




 "Life isn't a wish-granting factory" is a quote from the book "A Fault in Our Stars" written by John Green.

Black Snow

Unfortunately,
The winter rises in sorrow
And so the black snow.

Just Do It

Just do it.
Whipping lash,
hot, cramped pit.

Odor, stenches
still working.
Cash coins wrenched.

Wealthy, rich
sitting back
pulling stitches.

Dollars drop.
No more wages,
still won't stop.

Sit, knot, knit,
broken wrists,
just do it.

I Forgive

I will not hate you
for your sins belong to me
thus they are forgave

Won'T It Be a Sweet Sixteen

How is it going?
I hope life is still as flowing
because it isn't right now.
At fourteen, you only get faults and fouls.

Will you look back at me today
and laugh in a despising way?
What will you do, who will you meet?
Are you still willing to help the beggars on the street?

Is your heart full of passion or has it turn cold?
Do you praise yourself or do you still scold?
Do you still see the world in blackish white or reddish blue?
Do you still want to bid your sadness adieu?

Are you alone right now, do you remember me?
If you don't, then please look at the willow tree.
You know which one, it's behind our lawn.
I carved my name on it before December's dawn.

If you look at the initials you might recall
the memories you had of me and him late that fall.
Maybe you aren't as innocent as you were any more
but that's okay because life wouldn't be such a bore.

Tell me about yourself, tell me what's going on.
I want to know if you still visit that lake of swans,
that wooden tree house and that fort made of vines.
I want to know everything, isn't anything fine?

In two years, you'll tell it all
but hey, no one's stopping me from breaking the walls.
I want to know my future, I want to know you
so I will be aware of what I'll shortly go through.

Hopefully I'll get a reply soon,
probably on my birthday, some time in June.
You'll write to me and solve the mystery
that once was hope, but built your history.

Diet

Stuff up my mouth
with more and more food.
To eat or not to eat?

To the One I'M Trying To Love

Time is a fearful thing,
it can give and take in a blink.
My love for you came in an instant,
but now it's lost in the distance.

I remember when we first met,
both were nervous, hands drenched in sweat.
Lost in the moment, we embraced
and since then I couldn't leave your space.

We've stuck together through thick and thin,
fought our battles with groans and grins.
You were strong, and I was meek.
You were broken, and I was weak. 

I fell for you, for God knows why.
You were quiet, and super shy.
It took you a while to open up
and that is after...how many break ups?

Nevertheless, I've loved you always.
Three years have passed, and for longer I'll stay.
Even though the path has always been rough
but I promise you I'll remain tough.

For my love is built upon baseless trust
and yours started off as purely lust.
I'll fight until you finally realize
that I just want you to grow and be wise.

But baby, my time is running short
ever since the night I left the airport.
Time has been more foe than friend
and eventually, our relationship will end.

Despite that I still believe
that one day I will receive
as much as I've given you these years
because I remember fewer smiles than tears.

So hold on tight, my darling, my baby boy
to my last glimpse of hope before it's destroyed
by that sad smirk, and glum glance of yours
when we have our cold little wars.

There's nothing left for me to say,
for these are feelings I cannot convey.
Even fate can't dictate our story
if you feel losing me is worth the glory.

If You Just Smile

If you just smile,
all the devils will fade away
If you just smile.
The frowns will walk a thousand mile,
tears won’t drop till days after days,
and your happiness will obey,
if you just smile.
