A CHRISTMAS POEM
Scattered floors with scarlet wraps,
A sturdy, firm, Christmas tree.
The smell of pinecones fill the air
As I search for you and me.
I’m looking for you because
I believe in destiny and fate.
That I met you for a reason,
But the reason, it shall wait.
Through our sporadic discussions
And strange remarks,
And our insightful silences
And unique embarks,
I have discovered that you,
You are cognizant of almost everything.
And that to find you, all that must simply be done
Is to find an aura constantly varying.
And the reason why I search for me
Is the same as why I search for you.
Like how I’m still uncovering your character,
Because I’m doing it for me too.
Even though it’s not Thanksgiving,
I think Christmas is the perfect time
To say a simple thanks and let you know,
You have an incredible mind.
They say miracles happen when
A man rides in the sky,
But I think they happen every day,
Even though they pass us by.
It’s just that we don’t recognize
What kindness is until we see
what people do and say
and the people they could be.
Christmas isn’t special because
We get gifts or because someone was born.
It’s the laughter and feelings
Shared and unworn.
I’m searching for you because
I need to say these things,
Like how you’re atrociously amazing,
and tell you about the gifts you bring.
We’re always far out but we always come back
To a small and homey place.
I hear music, smell fresh made cookies,
See wreaths and hanging laces.
There are scattered floors with scarlet wraps
A sturdy, firm Christmas tree.
The smell of pinecone fills the air,
As I search for you and me.

Amy Kong Poem
This is with credit to my friend, Teresa Ng.
I dreamt of a place I could call home,
One full of laughter
And smiles.
And that place I would call home
It’s a peaceful house,
Overflowing with love.
But we all know it doesn’t exist.
I kiss your toes
And worship the ground you walk on.
I sing the sweetest melodies.
Yet you strip me of my beauty
And you threw trash at me.
You made me feel like I didn’t belong.
I was not appreciated.
Little do you know
That you are dying right beside me
Along with millions of friends.
Apologies are meaningless
And it’s too late for complete change.
You are still simply human
There’s only so much you can do.
Stop the ignorance
Because karma shows no mercy.
And absolutely nothing goes unpunished.
Action is the strongest form of reformation,
So ponder over your habits
And think,
“Would the world be happy with this?”
Enlightenment and positive attitude
Make all the difference
One step at a time.
I am the ocean
Whom has been damaged and defiled.
And I only have one request to make.
Save me.

Amy Kong Poem
If you like someone for their looks
then it's shallow.
If you try to find love where there isnt
Then it's hollow.
If you try to create something
That doesnt exist.
It's going to backfire
Because only you insist.
When you like someone
With all your heart
Then it's a start
Of something bizarre.
And that's not shallow, hollow, rough
I think that's called love.

Amy Kong Poem
Why hold dreams that will not come true?
Why have eyes of hate,
Of envy, and jealousy too?
Please, try to abate
your hatred for fate.
Why want this man's skills or fashion?
Don't you have your own
special traits, features, and passions?
Why pity and moan?
Start seeking and roam.
Roam to find reason to live life.
Light comes after dark.
Leave your self made anger and strife,
hear the songs of larks.
Leave life with a mark.

Amy Kong Poem
I'm always the wrong but I don't care,
I have my own mind; I take my share.
Everyone's looking at me like I'm crazy, but I state my mind.
I'll move on in life, leave everything else behind.
I'm an imperfection but I like that,
I live free, like a stray street cat.
My thoughts may seem like an error to you,
But the path less taken is the one I go through.
You're so plain; I can barely see you exist.
You're like everyone else, you don't resist.
So call me stupid, call me crazy.
But I can laugh while you're left hazy.

Amy Kong Poem
I have a million other contacts
But it only feels right with you.
I try to hide it and not be a drag
But i cant stop myself from feeling blue.
I have everything okay
And a life to live
But why do i feel so broken inside
Empty and repeating the words "what if?"
Sometimes i wonder if im a good friend
Because you're there more often than i.
I wonder if i actually help you
Instead of bagging then passing you by.
But each and every time
Your tone stays the same.
And i'm kind of mesmerized
Happy even if i'm kind of insane.
And one day i hope i can do
So much better, meta morph
Into a better person, complete and strong
So i can give you a small paradise that'll make you smile
Because that's where you belong.

Amy Kong Poem
One step, two steps,
And you're taken aback.
Three steps, four steps,
And you're boarding the deck.
Five ticks of the clock, then six,
You realize time isn't infinite.
Seven ticks, eight ticks,
You do, you laugh, you cry and regret.
Nine booms, heartbeats, they are synced.
I can hear what you want to say.
Ten days, ten months, ten years,
However long, we'll finally let go.

Amy Kong Poem
Scattered room, a mess.
Disorganized.
Empty bottles of prescription pills.
Empty water bottles.
Empty void.
Yet the trash is half empty too.
A beating heart that's tightening
The heartbeats slow down
Then speeds up again.
The nerves signal the cortex
The brain, to replay.
The worst things in life.
Green tea which boosts metabolism
Supposed to boost the better emotion
But it's not.
The void is still there.
The light reflections are not a warm glow
They are of emptiness and shallow.
Though there is no presence of conflict
In this moment in time
Why does it still exist?
Hands close
Hands open
Hands freezing cold.
Lifeless.
Dreams come and go
Nightmares stay.
But this is not that girl, that boy.
Being strong isn't hiding
Plastering fake smiles on.
Being strong is talking and conquering.
But the laughter and positivity
They're superglued.
There's an abyss elsewhere.

Amy Kong Poem
What's wrong?
What's right?
What's true?
What are lies?
Are you my friend?
Are you my foe?
Can I trust you?
Or will you break me?
Are friendships suppose to be like this?
So tragic, so anomalously sad?
Will I be stronger?
Is it better I hold on half knowingly?
Or should I become more vulnerable?
I'm lost.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I really don't know.

Amy Kong Poem
When it's late
Like 3 AM,
I sigh about having to get up early
And possibly prepping for chem.
And my head hurts
And I'm in a spinning world.
Yet in this darkness still
I think about you in a curl.
I wonder
Are your feelings fixed and amended?
Has the reason you were sad
Subsided and amended?
I wonder next
If you are the reason I cannot sleep.
Somehow, when you're feeling down
Alongside you my insides weep.
I hate when you do this to me.
Lie as if I cannot see.
Especially since you don't know
How special you are to me.
Why it is you matter so much
I havent got a clue.
The only answer I got is
I simply just do.
I'm weird, I'm annoying,
Maybe an idiot or a fool.
I make a big deal of things
But that's part of my rule.
When it's late like 4AM
And I'm in a frantic stage.
I pray for precious sleep to come to me
To begin a brand new page.
