confessions of a dreamer

They say dreams are only for those who are asleep
I must ask;
What about those who are awake?
What do they do?
They regret, don't they?

I don't want to live in hypocrisy
like the rest of the world
who grow up to hate their lives,
who walk around complaining about their pathetic jobs,
who regret the things they have and have not done
When they were younger,
when they still had time and hope;
slowly slipping and losing grip
But are now too late to gain

I believe life is only as hard as you let it be.
Fight and you will fly,
surrender and you are damned

I wanna save the sick and the homeless,
The weak and the hopeless

I wanna save the animals and trees,
The generation,
The future.

Let the world face no evolution
Let the world face no disaster
I wanna save everyone and everything,
everywhere.

I am too strong of a fighter,
Too big of a dreamer
I have too much to offer
and I will never take no for an answer

Mock me if you must,
But when all hell breaks loose,
I know what I wouldn't be.
I won't be the one crying and falling.
I won't be the one who brought misery to herself.

My battle scars may never fade,
But at least I can live and die
with no regrets.


I actually wrote this last year for a poem writing competition in school. Honestly, I never planned to post it online because it was written in such an angry state (personal issues). But since I decided to have it submitted to the school's magazine this year, I thought "Oh well, there's no harm in posting it on my blog since everyone's gonna read it one way or the other". Besides, my Miri bestfriend have not read it yet ;D

His footprints

I get distracted by you
not to the point that I lose all my senses
I wouldn't even call it a distraction,
really
because you're nothing
of that sort

You're nothing
mean or selfish or arrogant
greed doesn't stir in you
neither does all things sinful

I love how you love me
how you love everyone
and everything
How you would do anything
to save

You bring the word Sacrifice
a whole new meaning
One no one can top

When you say
In every love song, there's a lover
And how you hoped you would be
just that
in my heart

It puts a smile on my face
you can never erase this, Lord

When I look up at the skies
I wonder how you made them blue
I gave up sleep
just to be amazed by you
and you never fail me

You have
what no other boy can take
or steal from me
It is rightfully yours

This love
This faith
This strength
These hands and feet
This heart

You have all of me
and I love you more for that

Gravity

I'm not proud of this
I hope you are
of yourself
You've got me coming back
got me caught in the middle

Funny,
I was always so sure of
everything
Doubts rain over me now
And I don't like this

You're like gravity
I don't like that either

As I led myself away
You tend to grab my hand
stand in the way
look me in the eye
but all I see is false hope
what are you doing?

You lost yourself
in all that pretense
Who are you fooling?
You're taking too long
And I'm tired

Your shoulders aren't
the best pillows
I've seen
Your voice isn't
the best lullaby

It's Thursday
but I'm out of your sight
I'm missing
Get used to it
because I'm done trying
You can never make up your mind

she who screams

my ears are beginning to bleed
what with all of your childish acts
you whine and stomp your feet
as things don't go your way

why would it?
for a person as such
you just wouldn't keep it in
leave that patience running thin
oh, how quick you let things go

and all for what cause?
what do you expect?

attention
you've got it
they all hate to look at you
they curse you under their breaths
their bad intentions
you have them all

satisfaction
you just can't enjoy
that anger leaves you
with an ugly face
were you ever satisfied?

are you happy now?
