Song :: 走

This song is written by moi...I can sing it but unfortunately due to my limited musical skills, i'm still currently unable 2 convert it 2 music notes...Argghh. whatever, anyway, this are the lyrics... ~~Enjoy!~~ =P

我开始忘了自己是谁
你要我走下着路 实在太累
我不要这伤悲
我要飞
我要飞

你开始忘了我到底是谁
我站在人群里 失去防备
烦恼的心内
不能睡
不能睡

Chorus 1:
请让我走 一个人走
我不要你看到我泪流
我也不想听 你的理由
给我自尊
一个人走

Chorus 2:
其实我走 走的有理由
因为你没有守候
你对我的承诺 永远爱我
请让我走
一个人走

Broken Dreams

I feel like throwing up,
falling through an endless hole.
The darkness engulfed me,
I feel so faint and exhausted.

Work and toil has taken its toll,
My body is tired, dying,
My mind blank, empty,
Cruelly lifted hopes gone,
left me with nothing.

Dreams shattered into pieces,
No more please, I can’t take it anymore.
Do you know the price
the price of killing one’s dreams?
Dreams that we once hold dear to our hearts...

The dread clutched my throat,
Is this how you feel when
you’re hopeless, disillusioned, despaired,
Oh, without hope, dreams,
Life is just like a wounded dying bird,
Singing in sorrow.

Evil In School

There's a devil in my school!
She's walking around,
pretending to be cool.
She wiggles her ass,
gave me the finger.
What do you want me to do?

She's prancing around,
Thinking she's the Queen Bee.
Oh! Frustrated I
have no patience for people
who think they're all that!
And I don't mind being blunt
When it comes to
taking them down a peg or two.

Plastic People,
all hard and shiny on the surface
While there's nothing real inside.
It’s all hollow!
I knocked and echoes follow.

She's all fake
drooling with treachery and pretense.
Ha! I scorn at her!
I don't need such attitude
from a nasty nothing.

If I could snap my fingers,
and she vanish in a puff of foul smoke,
how glad the whole school would be!
I would become the heroine
who had rid the school of the ultimate evil.

Unfortunately, unlike her,
I possess no such magic.
She's turning and looking at me now.
Maybe she knows
I'm writing evil poems about her.
She directed the EVIL EYE at me.
Oh! I'm vanishing...
into a puff of smoke...
with a comforting scent...

PS: This does not refer to you if you're reading this... Anyway, i wrote it ages ago...haha...

深夜至黎明

Anyway, I thought it'd be a nice change if I switched gears to another language...This is my best shot at writing chinese poems but since my chinese ability is limited at best...It'd be kind of you sirs and misses to give me any helpful advice to modify it become better! And to those of you who can't read chinese to save their lives, well, better luck next time! lol... =)

仰望
无星的夜晚
倚在矮墙上
和友人谈心
享受周围的幽静
听着夜鸟鸣叫声
啊!那是多大的喜悦!

偶尔
路过的汽车
发出的引擎声
打破了深夜的黑纱
但可惜的是,
咱们的友谊
可能在黎明的到来
就会划上一个永远的句号。

可恶的岁夜!
他总不让美丽的时光
停下匆忙的脚步
只留下酸甜的记忆
来陪伴我们
继续
未来的旅程。

Life After Bars

Watched too much violence
on the idiot box.
Desperate for a piece if action.
Infected with an incurable thirst,
dabbled in petty crime.
In the end,
paid a terrible price,
spent a lost part of my life
behind dull bars.

Finally, I’m out!
Free as a bird
soaring high in the blue blue sky
but I’m lost in a world full of doubt
Can’t find my way home anymore.

I saw a rainbow in the sky
but it has lost its seven colours.
Life has become distinct shades
of black, grey and white.
I’m drowning in a swirl of sorrows
and regrets.

It’s true I was once a convict.
I’m brave enough to admit it.
But, people, hear my sincere prayer.
I’ve seen the error of my ways,
Turn over a new leaf,
I swear I will.

But they won’t give me another chance
for a new life after bars.
I’ve already paid my dues.
Exhausted and stripped to the last bone.

Stick and stones may break my bones,
but their hurtful words will not
cripple my soul, my meandering spirit.
I want to stop trying
but I won’t give up on myself.
Coz’ God only helps
those who help themselves.
I will believe in myself
even if no one else will.

My chance to shine will come
And I’ll be the one
who created it.
Have faith in my dreams,
I know I can do it.
I’ll reach for the stars.
The sky is not the limit.
My great expectations
know no bounds,
know no limitations.

I’ll persevere and be strong
Carve a new life for myself.
Mark my words,
My dreams will be turned into reality.
Even though I’m an ex-convict.

A Personal Statement...by moi...=P

Anyway, I thought dat if I only post poems here, this blog would be a pretty impersonal one... So, dis post is dedicated to me saying hi to anyone who's reading this...! Hehe...
Well, i'm not going to go on being so long-winded (is there such a phrase or is it borrowed from Chinese?? Can't seem to differentiate some times lo...lol...), juz wanna say if u really enjoy reading these poems and if you're a fellow blogger, feel free to leave me comments on da links below every post!
I will receive them with open arms and a open heart!
~Stretch open arms~
And... pause ~for dramatic effect~
If you're not a fellow blogger and still feel like giving me some comments, just air ur opinions there in the tagboard on the right hand side of the page...! Sensible criticisms will make me grow as a poet~~ (if i'm allowed to flatter myself by calling myself one, that is...lol...)
Well, i will try to type more poems into this blog but sometimes i'm lazy/busy so no go there...
*sigh...actually, I had written them down oredi...what I need is a typist who wouldn't plagiarize my work *
As if anyone'd want to... Haha...
That's all for now! Cya!! =P


PS: From this post above, don't you think I have the potential to be the Drama Queen of Writing?? I seem to be dramatizing a lot in this post...oh... Whatever...!

Dreams In Reality

I live in a wonderful world,
but it's all of my own making.
For Reality
is too scary a place
to really live in.

The real world is torn usunder
by its own cruelty
and treachery.
I refuse to be part
of this axis of evil.
Pretentious, cruel, deceitful
are descriptions I do not need.

In an ironic twist of daily life,
I’m laughed at,
jeered at,
mocked at every dark dull day.
I just close my eyes,
scream at the empty walls,
until everything around goes black.

Various names I have been labeled with,
I could name you
a well-chosen few.
But most of them, I’m afraid
needs some censoring first.
For fear they might
pollute your tender ears
and weaken your fragile heart.

The real world was supposed
to be filled with
laughter, peace and freedom.
But, these I can find
only in my fantasies
and my nightly dreams.

Rather than living in the shadows,
I choose to make my own world
in my own mind.
Maybe I’m just in plain denial.
But what can I say?
This is my own choice,
my ultimate decision.
I don't need your permission
to be real
in a world full of fake souls.

This is my salvation,
my only offering of peace.
This is my piece of heaven.
My own dreams
in an ever-changing reality.
