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.
