It’s Only My World..

Another blue sky today….

It will wear out….. the fancy I mean…

It’s Only My World ~ Jae Joong

A splinter……

Jae’s voice is invincible as usual……before I make this post about the boy and his voice….I will stop here cause I can do him no justice…..

Even though the song is in korean…..poetry is poetry….

Here  is a rough english translation…….

“You tell me that I know very little about the world

With eyes showing a little worry, with a sorry smile”

I like to draw lines……lines that I don’t cross……lines I expect people never to cross….

Be it my personal space…..or be it my own emotional boundary…

There are ties I never will break……compromises I will never make…….and people I never can betray….

“Yeah, I guess I really don’t know the world

Maybe I walked this long way by myself”

I meet a lot of people who think I can easily be manipulated in thinking otherwise….

All the beliefs and values I have ……. can be easily bent by strangers who claim to know me or know my type….

That eventually I will come around,,,

I see no point arguing with people like that……I don’t like wasting my time……

“But I don’t have regrets,all the dreams with smiles or cries”

When it comes to relationships…..I have no maybe……or eventually in my dictionary……

If I did not feel it then…..there is no way I will not feel it now…..nor ever….

And for people who say “Oh you don’t know yet……..you wait…….you’ll see…….I will show you…..”

I will have them know I was not born yesterday…….

“But I don’t have regrets, finding and going through all my dreams”

There are no grey areas…….for me…..

I wish people did not push my limits……..

I maybe tolerant……but I am not ignorant……..

“I’ll tell you that you don’t know the world much”

If people did not figure that out about me by now……I am not going to hold my breath…..

“Yeah, I guess I really don’t know the world,

Maybe I’m all alone in this path .

But I don’t have regrets, the dreams that were so close

It’s only my world”

A Little Unkind..

Sad Eyes ~ Bruce Springsteen

Plenty of time..
Plenty of time..

I have this feeling lately…….something familiar….

Like someone dropped me off a thousand feet high diving board….

And I am free-falling…..

My life is fast forwarding in front of me in matters of seconds….

Too dramatic eh?

“Every day here, you come walking
I hold my tongue, I don’t do much talking
You say you’re happy and you’re doin’ fine
Well, go ahead, baby, I got plenty of time”

It is all these convoluted thoughts in my head…

Like being trapped in a box….

“Baby, don’t you know I don’t care?
Don’t you know that I’ve been there?”

I hide behind a corroded reflection…..

It is so easy to pretend…..

“Well, if something in the air feels a little unkind
Don’t worry, darling, it’ll slip your mind”

Please tell me it is a phase……it will fade away…..

I don’t want to cushion the blow…..

I will take the hit…….

“I know you think you’d never be mine
Well, that’s okay, baby, I don’t mind”

I hang on to the bare threads of  reason…..baseless facts diluting my reasoning…..

Oh have mercy on me…….and spare the broken words…..

“That shy smile’s sweet–that’s a fact
Go ahead; I don’t mind the act”

What if?- is a privilege I cannot allow myself to indulge in…..

“Well, one more step and it’ll be too late”

The stakes are high……

“Like you’re so sure I’ll be standing here”

Stop………Wait…..Am I the choices I make?

“I guess sad eyes never lie”
