The 2nd Shiny Art Festival - Poetry Reading
_whisper_
I listen to the sound in my heart attentively Now, the story of you and I, us has begun.
The scars that were being attempted to be covered, inflated like a snowball Don’t lock me up with the side of me that I couldn’t possibly know.
Struggle in fear in despair Falling asleep for days while crouching once again, the warmth that is seeping into the ice cold back Melted the body and the heart that was clutching tightly.
It’s still like a dream even after waking up I got mad in a huff at your voice whispering to me that you love me. I screamed.
Saying that I can’t believe this…
At the back that turned sharply I can feel you who are crying soundlessly
Why are you crying for me when you are full of scars? You whisper to me that you love me again.
You ask me to hold onto your hand that you reached out beyond your capability, you ask for us to be together forever because it’s lonely to be alone
You whisper to me once again.
My love, my lovely you, get up and let’s go together
Winter has passed too, the rain has stopped too Flowers bloomed on the ground and it’s early for the birds to be singing.
You are a whisper to me that never worn out. Get up, get up and radiate light Let’s deliver the world beautiful news and let’s console those who are hurting in their hearts
Share the sadness, enjoy the happiness Changing the worries for it to be a song
You are a whisper to me too right now.
You ask me to hold onto your hand that you reached out beyond your capability, you ask for us to be together forever because it’s lonely to be alone
Now, with the you who I shall be together forever, Get up, hope you will be the light.
To God who will love me forever.
