Memory

I love ice skating in Downtown Vancouver because it was my favorite place as a child.
It was rarely known before the Winter Olympics in 2010

I forgot what it was like to hug my dad after moving to New West until I said to him "Love you."
I cried with tears with joy because to me, it means our relationship is somewhere recovered from
our issues of my lying habits (so he perceives).

I remember going to Granville Island for art classes, the water park and of course... the Kids Market.
Back then, I didn't like art or any performing arts, except for dancing. Until I got into high school, I realized it is my passion. I used to make and draw many crafts, I just didn't consider it as art. As a kid, I didn't know a lot of things and I still don't as a 19 year old today. Pretty sad, isn't it?

I would listen to pop music back in the old days.Way before I knew Devendra Banhart or any indie musicians. Except I listened to Evanescence and Linkin Park in both elementary and middle school
I didn't care about the lyrics, but I was in ecstasy with the harmonious and catchy tunes.

I didn't realize there was something wrong with me until I asked him if " I'm normal " like everyone else.
I was 12 when he told me I am "mentally handicapped"

I loved playing Celtic or any various kinds of music in front of my friends at high school. No big performances involving my dad, teacher and other parents of violinists-in-training because I felt as if I didn't have to impress anyone but myself. I wish I could do it again : perform again after 2 years of not playing in front of people so I wouldn't have to be afraid as my dad is for me.

I got paid in cents at school and performed in senior homes and the Justic Institute. that was the best thing I had ever done in my life and they were my biggest accomplishments in grade 9

Sometimes I think they happen for a moment and years later, I will have a feeling that I wish I can do that again so I can redeem myself.

Sparrow

I am a fragile young sparrow
unable to fly away from
my wooden straw nest.

A small beaked bird
covered in red and blue spots
and wings full of
permanent scars

I wish I could flee
to have an adventure
and the liberty
of my own.
But I worry of my future
for I fear a force is never
going to let me go

I may be black and white
whose voice may not be heard
from afar
but I will never stop singing until
I reach to the bright blue sky.

Scars and Bruises

Scars are Tattooes
with inks so red and purple,
sinks into the penetrable skin
and so I bare a moon mark on
my hip and a clawed mark
on my arm that would last for ages and ages!
Scars will heal and mend, but it will never
disappear; it sticks with me before I forget

Bruises are Hennas,
seeped into my face or thigh
with splattered dies of purple and
blue. Slowly the colours fade away
until all is gone without a trace of ink.
It stays temporarily on my skin for weeks
because it doesn't last as long as tattooes

Mind

Verse 1

Why do angels always leave
and never hear a goodbye
I've always believed
they would deceive you and fly

I have been left behind
I have been lost in my mind
and I can't seem to find
my way back to reality. Have I been blind
from the start?

Chorus

Why am I
unable to fly
away from my regrettable troubles
My life always trembles
and fall into pieces
Oh please save me
Don't leave me be

I've always cried
in my sleep
I've even tried
to sustain and keep
my agony and misery locked up.

Verse 2

I don't want to forget
the memories I've collected
with my eyes but they seem to have disappeared
and it's been my great regret

My mind is confused
I've lost track of reality
My thoughts are complicated
I'm losing a trace of my only identity

Chorus

Bridge

Why did I choose to suffer
because I can't remember
who I am anymore
I wish my despair will live no more

I've got to take a risk
write history on a disc
It's time for me
to liberate myself and flee

I can't keep on living like forever
I don't want to cover
myself from the world
I can't always be told

I can't follow my own dreams
Let me walk on the cloudy streams
I won't let them catch my attention
I am making my own decision

Am I letting temptation
get my attention
I've left my discretion
in my imagination

Chorus

Outro

But if I fall apart
who will put me back altogether?
Why does it matter
if I lose my heart?

Stand Alone or Fly Away

Verse 1
I stand here alone
on my own
There is no one
and they are all gone

Angels can't always help you
nor can they save you
from your neverending
pain.There are no such things
as miracles.

There is no one to depend
on, no one to mend
your wistful heart
'cause they will start
to leave you behind
and forget to find you

Chorus
Why do they always leave
you out, never come back
and never hear them say goodbye

As if I'm trapped in a cave
as dark and black
I just don't know why

Who will hear me
from far far away
or help me flee
on a momentous day?

I just hope I won't fall
into a thousand shards
as the house of cards
will never tremble at all

Verse 2
Oh please don't you cry
It saddens me to see you weep
We may all fly away and say goodbye
for the last time
But always sleep
with a thought I will
always be in your sole heart still

I know its breaks
your martyred soul to see
your friends here and gone
Doesn't mean it takes
you away from their memory
Believe me there is always somone

You just have to believe
and never let misery make you grieve.
They are just mere illusions
from their vile persuasions
to get your attention
Don't let it get into your sole intention
They will grab you away from your discretion
with a despairing temptation
they will know you are soulfully weak

Chorus

Bridge
I know it's hard to see
everyone go away to be free
but I've been sustaining my own pain
I can't keep on living like this ever again
Maybe it's not because I feel unembraced
by others, but I don't have the intention
nor the courage for my wishful redemption
I don't want to always wonder
what life would be like outside Vancouver

Chorus

Outro
I wish someone could hear me
and I prithee
send me word far from where I be
