On a thin line she stood tall
One more step and she may just fall
This thin line represented her life
Soon to falter, fighting hard to survive

Life is full of ironies
Including me, myself

Life is full of mistakes
And from them we can’t repel

Life is full of grey-clouded days
But soon the sun will take these clouds away

Life is full of heartbreaks
Falling for those who won’t stay

Life is full of superficiality
Where looks supersedes sincerity

Life is full of deceit
Hiding the skeletons people hid

Life is full of ambiguity
Scarring the minds of you & me

So what’s left of life that’s nice & pretty?


TGND

P/s pardon me for this rather negative entry. Life can still be nice & pretty.

f ri e nd

Best of friends; the both of them can be
Between them; never any jealousy
Happy the way they were
Even though in so many ways, they differed

Despite it all, there was a secret she hid
No one knew but inside she slowly bleeds
The cruelty of this plastic world
Has made her vision blur

A candle to her friend she never wants to hold
If there’s one thing she could have, it’s to be bold
Beauty & brains, her friend has it all
That’s what she lacks but she doesn’t feel sore

She just wants to be treated the same
People judge but who’s to be blamed
In the end, life’s just a game
They remember her face, they forget her name

If what’s outside matters most
She’d rather hide & not be exposed
For she has been hurt and tainted
By the taunts the cruel world has painted

oh life, just let her be exempted

TGND

So it’s over
oh, what a ride
momentary euphoria
which somehow died


Stray; I tried hard not to
pray; on those nights I felt blue
time and again I thought it thru’
why things wouldn’t work between me and you


One day I knew that we would part
but I didn’t know you’d have the heart
guess you had enough of me
my ignorance, I just couldn’t flee


I wanted fun
you wanted more
eventually
I made your heart so sore


Hard as it may be
I know you’ll be fine
let’s just be glad
our lives ever intertwined

Mr. I

Hey Mr. I, don’t look so sad,
let me take you by the hand,
let me be that friend.


I promise not to make you tell
all those insecurities that’s giving you hell
I’ll just sit and listen

I’ll be that friend that makes you laugh
with me, you don’t have to be that tough

Hey Mr. I, for now I would be around
but if one day I can’t be found
I hope you’ll find someone else

I hope that person will bring you joy
your feelings, that person won’t toy
because you deserve so much more

Boy, you know I care
and I’ll try my best to be there
I’ll stick around for a while

Keep you company for a while
laugh with you just for now

I may be the last on your list
but if my presence makes you happy
then I’m glad

So Mr. I, don’t stop calling
for soon we may stop talking
you may move on
so will I

But before I do, I want to thank you Mr. I
for letting me be that friend
I hope your misery,
I slightly amend

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticise
All you ever meant to my life

I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
from where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say
But goodbye...

You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me

I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
from where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say
But goodbye...

night

Took a breather, looked outside
Sky was dark but the stars were shinning bright
I looked up and I felt glad
For the sky was the only similar thing we had


I wondered what it was like on your side
Was it too a lonely night?
The cold but calm air surround
I stood rooted to the ground


To see you soon, impossible
To makes mistakes, inevitable
There we stood under the same bright sky
Wondering why we’ve been living a lie


The crescent moon shaped so perfect
Made me think of the things I lacked
But I know I have to be contented
Cos life ain’t as bad as it was intended


So under the moon-lit sky I stood firm
Certain decisions I had to come to terms
For soon it will be bright and there will be light
A new day arrives for a brand new fight

Stay or Go

Why she agreed, she doesn’t know
What she was getting into, she had been told
Yet she went ahead and took the risk
They objected but she insist

New to this thing, she’s so naive
Happy endings she would believe
She thought she had found the one
But what’s ‘the one’ when she haven’t even experienced fun?

Beginnings always seem so sweet
Together every obstacle, they would defeat
But sweet beginnings never last
These feelings we should never trust

Apart from each other they slowly grew
The sadness in both slowly brewed
At times she felt like walking away
Other times, she convinced herself to stay

Temptations surround, and she’s intrigued
Just so many, but none she can pick
Someone’s heart she had to safely keep
Into temptation she couldn’t slip

Should she stay, should she go?
Maybe when tomorrow comes, the answer would show
If she should stay or she should go…

Cinquain Poetry

Poetry may not be as simple as one may think it to be. There are so many different styles of poetry out there. Recently bought a book on "how to write poetry", I must say it's gonna take me a while to absorb all the information that's in there. So today, let me introduce you guys to a type of poetry which is called "Cinquain".

Cinquain Poetry basically means
a stanza of five lines;
specifically, one that has successive lines of two, four, six, eight, and two syllables.

e.g. of a Cinquain format

Line one: one word
Line two: two words
Line three: three words
Line four: four words
Line five: one word

Here's my example:

Beauty

External, façade

Hiding, deceits, insecurities

Tear away this mask

Disappear

Empty Winter

Slowly as each leaf fell to the ground
Autumn exited without a sound
Then came winter
Cold and still

She sat by the window
Looking upon that once green hill
Now, the hill- snow concealed

As she sat, she pondered and thought
And wondered why she was distraught
The cold winter wind blew past her face
And soon the coldness intruded her space

She has never felt so empty before
Comparing this to lonely night falls
Sipping some of the coffee in her hands
Coffee never ever tasted so bland

What was this feeling lingering in her?
Causing all these emotions to stir

Sitting by the window, questions aplenty
If only the answers would come quickly
But that won’t happen, won’t happen anytime soon
So this girl she sat, in this cold winter room




Brrr,
TGND
