Pieces of Me: Me and Just Me
- Poetry Anthology

Spring 2015

​

Selected excerpts from the Poetry Anthology assignment from the Grade 9 English Language Arts course offered at The International School of Macao.

Unstable - Found Poetry

​

She already managed the hallucinations,

But the yelling and screaming,

Was unusual and worse.

She’s polluted with madness.

Life bent out of shape,

With no direct destination.

​

​

Amor Fati - Ballad

​

Deep in my mind,

It still stores the memories we share.

Now that my soul is gone,

And the world I am unprepared.

 

Today is the day,

That I go crazy.

Today is the time,

That my world goes hazy.

 

I’m losing myself,

Need a mental asylum.

You start being who you want,

And I’m stuck with that problem.

​

This month is it,

I can’t last long.

This month is the time,

When I go back to Hong Kong.

 

I know I can’t be selfish,

But I really need to go.

Before I become more attached,

And come back to say hello.

 

This is the time,

To turn around.

This is my moment,

To decide whether to be drowned.

​

​

Debris - English Sonnet

​

Burned me and left me lying on the ground.

Can you possibly be more worse than that?

How dare you leave me with a ruined sound,

And escape the crime scene like some cheap cat?

Stop talking trash because I had it through.

I’ve dreadful headaches from your little games.

The one who took my soul away was you.

​

I wish I could attack you with great aims.

Something I’ve spent so long since my childhood,

Now fallen apart into black ashes.

Scars left as I go onto adulthood,

As my mind and my very soul clashes.

I lie worn out like your old classic jeans,

Unused, untouched, in deep pain like most teens.

​

​

Eternity Moments - Free Form

​

As I stroll through the night,

Looking up at the sky,

I wonder what I hardly wonder

“Oh! The stars that you and I could be!”

As I take its hand in mine

And walk through the silence of the evening,

It did not bore us

But more enjoyable

Due to each other’s presence.
