“Admiration”
(Written By: Alana Cheng)

The admiration
The greatest collection
Of the utmost nightmares
That have haunted me
Long before the arrival of the future
To be scared of something
So real and right to the start
Of each little fight in the state
Of such heavy grips to an emotional
Round of such heated debate
Fighting alongside myself with
The mortal enemy which is just me
Talking to myself
All alone in the silence of a room
With no light turned on
To distract me
From the show on a curtain
Close to the walls
That would exploit the shadows
Of a wondrous nightlight
Of the long and painfully awaited fight
To battle myself to the death
Of my own admiration to go my own way
But could it be at the start
Of a wondrous and beautiful day?
Of needing to let myself walk away and go
But to not let myself walk out
All at the same time at once
In such repeated manners to kill myself
With such endless thoughts
That would break my heart slowly
Unless I set myself free
To the burning fires of keeping me
Locked in behind these walls
To keep me from being ever so happy
So why not just let myself
Spread my own colorful wings and fly?
Just soar and fly
Right above the clouds
Where there is nothing but
The clear blue sky
And not be afraid to wave goodbye
In admiration of myself
To let out my inner bravery
For my own good in the long run
‘Cause in the end
I will only be myself as one
