Dreams


A dream of mine
One supernatural night
When I drifted off to sleep
And wasn’t sure if I came back
To reality



I woke up
Or I thought I woke up
In a completely different world
Where everything was perfect
I had everything I could possibly want
Or I thought I had everything I could possibly want




Conversations
With people I have never seen before
But years later, there they were


Visions of the past
Glimpses into the future


Bright stars, dim memories
Big cities, but such little time
To take everything in
But maybe
It’s our time to realize
Where we really are



Everything passed in a blur
I tried to remember every second
But somehow
I felt like I didn’t really need to remember
Because after all
Who can tell dreams from reality?
And then I woke up
Or I thought I woke up




I Hate Track


Warming up, nervous as hell
Soon enough it’ll be the final bell
To the Armory! NYC
Freshman champ, I am soon to be
Wait it out, all the boring races
2 mile, 800, look at all of those miserable faces
Finally my event is called,
The 100 meters, most exciting of all
Stretching out, nerves setting in
The only Asian there like I was J-Lin
We step on the track, my heart is racing
Put my foot on the block, ready to start chasing
The gun fires go, my legs are moving
Had the worst start ever, this is far from soothing
Approaching the end, I could feel my knee bend




Awkwardly




Pain explodes, my momentum starts to go
Get to the finish line, don’t even care about my place
If only you could see the look on my face
Rushed to the doctor, hurting like hell
Doctors’ verdict? Sprained my ACL
Luckily I didn’t need surgery
The long road ahead was soon to be
Done with track for a long, long time
The road to recovery is my new mountain to climb
