Twenty twenty had been tough
It took a lot of things
Yet also gave so many lessons
It’s okay if all you did in 2020 was breathing
At least you survive
Now, another year has come
Another challenging year
It might not gonna get easier
But, if we can made it through 2020
We can conquer 2021 as well
2021, here I come.

Should be a safe haven Should be a place to feel reassured Should be a comfort zone However Mine is a superficial one Mine is a broken one Mine is a war zone Maybe That's why I'm feeling strayed That's why I'm yearning desperately That's why I'm searching hopelessly For my kind of 'Home Sweet Home'.
In response to Eugi’s weekly prompt at https://amanpan.com/2020/09/07/eugis-weekly-prompt-home-sweet-home-september-7-2020/

In response to Eugi’s weekly prompt, I’m gonna write a piece about tree once again.
In the previous post, I viewed myself as the tree itself, meanwhile I’ll write about how love should be like a tree.
This piece was inspired by the song ‘Never Break‘ by John Legend.
You can check out my previous post here.
Enjoy!
Love Like A Tree
Rooted in one place
For eternity
As its grow higher
And higher
The wind’s blow
Will become stronger
Thunder and storm
Will be more frightening
Yet it will never break
For its foundation was solid
Built on the ground
Nourished with compassion
Nurture with gentle care
Thus the love
Will sprout formidably
I’m gonna submit a piece for another picture prompt held by Glen.
For these past weeks, I was unable to write a proper post, not even one. And it frustrates me even more because I have so many ideas in my head, yet I couldn’t pour it out appropriately.
Just like the tree on the picture below, it felt like I was chained down and trapped inside an infinite abyss.
Thank you, Glen. This wonderful picture truly evokes my spirit back.
So, this is the post for the last day of August. I hope I could write more in September.
Wish of a Tree
I dreamt of reaching the sky
Yearned for a pair of wings
Wished to fly freely
Like those birds
Nested on my branches
Sadly, I was made to be grounded
My roots run deeply in the soil
I dreamt of reaching the sky
Wondered how it feels like to touch the stars
I heard that the world is vast and beyond
How does it feel to liberally roaming around?
What a pity!
I couldn’t even walk on earth
For my legs have been chained down by mother nature
When the signal went off, of course I’m upset. Being in quarantine for months, I’ve became quite an internet addict. I can’t go on a day without internet connection.
When the signal went off, I thought I’m going nuts. I can’t upload an instagram story or update a tweet. Can’t even open my facebook account or simply chatting with my online friends. Let alone fangirling on V live or read webtoons.
When the signal went off, I might really gonna be crazy. I know that humans are social creatures, but I kinda forgot how to interact ‘real’ people.
When the signal went off, maybe it’s a sign. I should put my phone away for a moment and start socialize in real life.
P.S: V Live, sometimes referred to as V App, is a South Korean live video streaming service that allows celebrities based in the country to broadcast live videos on the internet and live chat with fans. Streaming is available online or on Android and iOS mobile devices, with replays formerly available on PC. Source:Wikipedia
It’s okay to be different
It’s okay to feel different
You are your own master
No need to change
Just to fit in
Society sucks
Double standards everywhere
Two-faced here and there
No need to feel guilty
For being you
There are too many voices
Overlapping in my head
Trying to control my life
I wish I could shut them down
Thought that I could take over my own mind
Yet made me realize
I’m nothing without them
Maybe I shouldn’t try to cut them off
Maybe I shouldn’t try to find a way to make them quite
Maybe I should just let them be
Maybe I should try to live with them
Then
Maybe I could find myself again
Silhouette
As we breathe
Problems are inevitable
Changes are the only
Certain thing
People come
And go
At the end
Of the day
You’re all alone
With your silhouette

Today, I’m gonna submit a response to a picture prompt held by Glen.
“The creative goal for all of us is “what does the picture evoke in you; what emotion; feeling; memory or whatever it may be – what does it arouse in you and to share it that with others.”
When I first saw this picture, it took me to a few years back (I forgot the exact year 😅). I was in college, went on a trip to a small island named Gili Labak with a few friends from my church community.
We went there by small boat dawn and were taking some good pictures of sunrise. Sadly, I lost my phone and all the pictures. 😭
It was very beautiful island and really small. It only took approximately 30 minutes to walk around the whole island.
Here’s a picture of Gili Labak island.
I also have a short piece I wrote based on Lynn’s picture.
Sun Kisses the Sea
Sun kisses the sea
Unfolds the ethereal
Yellowish beam
Shiny gold
Rays upon the water
Illuminates the shallow
As the ship sails
To the horizon
The smells of the salty air
Soothes the tense nerves
I used to be afraid of unknown
I used to be afraid of darkness
I used to be afraid of being alone
I used to be afraid of those boogey monsters under my bed
And
I used to be afraid of letting go
‘Cause I feel like I’m gonna loose myself at one point
That’s why I’ve been holding up all my feelings
Until it reached the bottle neck
Little did I know
Those monsters was actually living inside my head
Silently lurking and waiting for the chance to go rampage
Then
One day they came all out
And I can’t control myself
