advocacy ~ jihyun's little poems

empathy

she's
the fairest
the kindest
the smartest

she's
the advocate
the world
my world

she's
capable
probable
untouchable

she's
fearless
reckless
merciless
that doesn't make me love her less

she's the unable, i am
she can't, i can
holy opposites, we are
never apart
i know that is the truth
a feeling sold to our shameless youth
i escape reality by writing to you
that's the only way you'll know our truth

last names label her with hate
darkness, reality, and harmony
all remind her of her final fate
her legacy was fulfilled by a mistake
a glorious mistake
the void opens
the gates to elysium opens

did we create a world of labels?
a morally deceiving facade is born
those heirs are now mopping tables
all the glitter and gold have torn 

three thousand shooting stars
are they enough to fulfill all my dwelling wishes?
——

she's
not me
i'm not her

she's my own

petals fall
petals fly
petals sings
like that flower with the wings

fire burns
fire stings
leave me with that broken dream

i am the real
she's the surreal
i am the cultivator
behold the legend of empathy
