Growing Up (Poem)

Growing Up

Growing up,

Being scared of crowds and presentations,

Scared of people judging me,

Scared of everything that might go wrong,

Trying to pick up my courage to do it.

But it just doesn't feel right.

Growing up,

Being taunted by bullies and haters,

Their words are like knives,

Cutting deep into my heart.

Leaving a huge wound that will never heal right.

Growing up,

Being upset at everything and everyone I love,

I just wanted to be left alone,

But why wouldn't they just let me be?

Making me feel like a pile of useless junk.

Growing up,

Without any brothers or sisters.

But I still have imaginary friends.

They treated me like I'm their baby sister.

I've never felt this happy,

As they're now my older brothers and sister,

Without any blood relation.

Rumors & Lies (Quote)

"It's stupid how people always listen to rumors and lies but not the truth. Never believe or spread lies or rumors without first knowing the truth because it always have the biggest impact on the victim."

Life (Poem)

Life

Life,

When you say it's long,

It's not long at all.

Life,

When you say it's short,

It's not really short at all.

Every second,

Someone dies,

From old age, illness, accident, murders and suicides.

Some people are rich,

Some people are poor.

Some people are happy,

Some people are not.

All emotions are etched onto our faces in our lifetime.

And will stay there forever until we die.

Suicide,

It's never an option.

Killing yourself will never solve problems.

But it will bring only more pain and sorrow in your family.

What your family has,

Is you.

You were that one of a kind person in the family.

You were destined to be in that family,

Where no one else could.

Please,

Appreciate what you have and your life.

Your future life could be changed by making right choices.

Where the past cannot be changed.

So,

What is in the past,

Is the past.

So forget it,

And continue living your life happily.

Parents (Poem)

Parents

Who were the ones who worked hard for money?

Who were the ones who tried to keep me happy?

Who were the ones who gave up all they have just for me?

It's mom and dad.

Daddy worked all day long,

No sleep, no rest, nothing.

Going for meetings, rushing all work before the deadline.

Mommy also worked hard.

Leaving work at 5pm sharp everyday,

Just to fetch me home from grandma's house,

And going out for a meal.

Mom always endured her boss' nasty words.

Dad always worked regardless how much work there is.

Everyday, I could see wrinkles appearing.

They were slowly getting old,

As I am slowly turning into an adult.

They were starting to get forgetful.

They sometimes misplace items,

Forget what they did.

On that day maternal grandma was gone,

Daddy may have yelled at mummy.

But, I know.

He was stressed.

Mommy was crying,

From losing her mom to all she had endured during work.

As a third person,

It was certainly painful to see them this way.

As their precious baby girl,

I wished that I could be with them forever and ever.

I know they really supported me in what I do,

I know they really loved me,

Even if they don't show it out.

I always wanted to say this by mouth,

But I can't.

I love you mom and dad.

For what you have given me.

My life and soul.

Thank you for everything.
