I am from a re-modeled dining room,

rainbow-jewel chandelier--

bright, shiny glass.

I am from stylish Barbie dolls

twisted on the cushion of a sofa.

I am from a coral Disney Princess kitchen set.

Free from dirt, no dust drifting in the air.

I am from a dozen of positive spirited cousins

and a magnificent family.

I am from sliding down a sapphire water slide

crystal clear water splashing in my face.

I am from Doraemon Doctor kit,

pretending to be a doctor

healing my unprotected dogs from poisonous attacks.

From the mouth, they barked,

the ear I shut to block the roar they made.

I am from Doraemon Doctor kit,

From the mouth, they barked,

the ear I shut to block the roar they made.

I am from mermaids and shark fins.

Looking around the gigantic aquarium.

staring at the enormous octopus,

I am from many mysterious animals looking for food.

With many unknown people tripping over the fence.

Under my bed was a square photo

album of myself, pictures of my childhood.

Lots of cute and funny faces I made.

I am from those moments where leaves are happily

reborn from the family tree.

ON TURNING 13

The whole idea of it makes me feel like I’m stuck a desert alone.

Slowly disappearing because of thirst

and drifting away in the air.

I can feel my soul escaping from my body

my feelings became empty

and see everything I love burn into ashes.

You tell me it is too late to be looking back,

but that is because you have forgotten

the warm love you’d get from your parents

and feels like nothing can hurt you.

But I always feel the love that is trying to reach me

through the dangerous, creepy forest.

But now I am mostly in front of the computer screen.

Watching movies and play games,

knowing it won’t give me the warmth I want from my guardians.

Back then the room never fell so silently

and my mouth had never shut as it does today.

This is the beginning of loneliness.

no one is sharing their love,

no one is laughing, and

no one is talking.

I told myself as I walk towards a trap,

It is time to give up, nothing will be the same again.

It seems only yesterday I used to believe

there’s nothing that can push my love away from me.

It feels like your enemy is burying your heart somewhere you would never find it.

If forgot everything,

I forgot how to breathe,

I forgot what I am doing

I forgot who I am.

EXCITEMENT

BY: CHINGCHING

FIZZ!

Excitement is like fireworks.

Before it went flying

and light up the sky,

it’s just a normal night.

As dark as Halloween night.

But when it starts the firework,

it becomes a star in the

black hole of the galaxy.

It may not feel excited.

It may not be happy.

But it may see itself shines

in the night of a murderer's souL.

Its hair went flying as

it had jumped on a trampoline.

Its heart beats increase the speed.

As fast as lightning danced across

the midnight sky.

Wake up from your daydreaming,

and go explore the excitement that has come!
