Poem Title:
Poem
You've been sitting in the dark Wondering for so long. It's been forever Since you started feeling so alone Drowned by the voices And haunted by the demons A happy facade Is all it took To have others believe you were fine You couldn't look so sad If your job was to be so happy To have the fans worry Was the last thing you wanted You were caughdtt in the nothingness And your lyrics said it all Your voice screamed out Through the meanings behind the words And through the music videos But the thing is You've been fighting on for so long All the pressure they've brought upon you All the words of reassurance That never did anything But add to it all You've battled through depression And your words; the lyrics Were things you wanted said to you All you wanted Was to be told you worked hard To be told you did well You wanted others to notice And you never really hid it. You never saw the point You always showed it because you believed There was no point In being fake happy three hundred and sixty-five days a year You believed that people should know you For who you were You shouldn't be showing off a fake you Because it got tiring You were a role model and inspiration to many You were a brother, a colleague, a friend and one of the best people to walk this earth. Many will miss you Many will remember you But nobody will forget you And the impact you've left Not only on your group But on the world You were kind And funny And gentle And weird You were all or nothing And that's what we loved You were a bright soul That changed many Your voice was a voice others went to When seeking reassurance, hope, happiness, cheering up and when they just needed to escape when they just felt numb You were our go to When things got tough Your voice was something special But you were something more You've held on for so long You've been strong for too long And now, today, 18th of December 2017 You've left the world But you've changed us too You've opened our minds And our hearts And hopefully the world's too. Thank you for existing, Kim Jonghyun and may you rest in peace. [ A poem dedicated to Kim Jonghyun, a Korean singer from the group SHINee. May he rest in peace and may his fellow members and family cope well. They are in many's prayers.]
