Hi Ray, thanks for your poetic "ad" - or anti-ad? - about Vancouver! Can you comment a bit on your intended tone? I would need to hear you read the poem to be 100% sure if you are being serious or sarcastic - or both at the same time :)
A disordered world Pepsi tastes like bugs. Coca-cola taste better, as far as to me. Even between these two drinks, there is disorder. which one to choose? Which one is more healthy? Which one is cheaper? Which one more matches not only me but also every others favor?
Movies should share similar messages wherever it is made, be it China, USA... however, as a Chinese, I feel scared to watch USA movies simply because their full of sexual images. Being a conserved person, acceptance turns its self down here. Choose to watch or not choose, either way I can't win, because I am already involved in the vortex turbulent. life doesn't give you chance to breathe. Life tries to suffocate you.
A disordered world is always there, however those who turn it into a beautiful place in their hearts are able not to fear it. The more you are not fearing, the easier you see this disordered world.
Dark days will come. Days you will just want to fade. Staying awake while daybreak is just crying, For friends you lost, for lovers that betrayed, For chances you took that were worth trying
Someone without laughter, without delight Is compared with a burnt down hopeless tree. Without joy, life would be black and white Put a smile on your face, for it is free.
Look at “building” instead of “destroying” Life's Road is endless with one dead end The time and effort gets quite annoying Make your dreams come true and don’t try to blend
We cry, we hurt, don’t stop for anything The path is long so expect everything
I can’t ask you what I need answered. So I asked myself today, Who am I? I’m a human with an identity crisis The identity lost in the abyss Searching for myself in the darkness Lost in my own sadness I am Where can I even begin? A kid who never really fitted in Loving heart dreadfully searching For connotation but all everybody understands is the contradicting shadow of what I request to be My attention goes and goes Goes on judgments Goes on judgments with no times No times means no endings I converse too enthusiastically sporadically My attention raises the firearm deprived of rational thoughts of the penalties and Arguments shoot out of me Language like a lash producing impact for a crash And the subsequent possessions Hardened mouths though behind relationship? What can I become? I am the poet Stressed to retain success Stressed to comprehend that I can develop better Chances arise so I grip them. My hands feel tired from the hold. I let go and my potential slips right out of my hands with them.

DeleteLove how the rhyme scheme and meter falls almost perfectly (it's easy to tell you spent quite some time on it). I adore my city as much as you do!

The Journey
ReplyDeleteDark days will come. Days you will just want to fade.
Staying awake while daybreak is just crying,
For friends you lost, for lovers that betrayed,
For chances you took that were worth trying
Someone without laughter, without delight
Is compared with a burnt down hopeless tree.
Without joy, life would be black and white
Put a smile on your face, for it is free.

ReplyDeleteSo I asked myself today,
Who am I?
I’m a human with an identity crisis
The identity lost in the abyss
Searching for myself in the darkness
Lost in my own sadness
I am
Where can I even begin?
A kid who never really fitted in
Loving heart dreadfully searching
For connotation but all everybody understands is the contradicting shadow of what I request to be
My attention goes and goes
Goes on judgments
Goes on judgments with no times
No times means no endings
I converse too enthusiastically sporadically
My attention raises the firearm deprived of rational thoughts of the penalties and
Arguments shoot out of me
Language like a lash producing impact for a crash
And the subsequent possessions
Hardened mouths though behind relationship?
What can I become?
I am the poet
Stressed to retain success
Stressed to comprehend that
I can develop better
Chances arise so I grip them.
My hands feel tired from the hold.
I let go and my potential slips right out of my hands with them.
