Free-Written Poems: Tiffany Liang

I met you on a cloudy day As the wind continues to fill the silence with its voice I can still hear the words you sing The harmonic beauty I'd admire each day The song fades, yet tis still there Like the circle of life, things come and go Friends walk in and out No matter the change of seasons and time Every friend is now my family Every friend is now my strength And most of all, every friend is a part of thy heart Never gone and shall be archived into these chain of memories

The cherry that was once a flower Bright and red, like the brightest ruby, yet so delicate The sweet taste brings back my happiness that once left me I ask for thee... To bring me the symbol of happiness, love, and life A cherry that represents a heart A heart you gave to me when mine shattered long ago

No matter how many times I've cried No one will know A shining shield of steel Protecting the world from my darkness Emotions and deep desires that corrupt me I'm long gone before they know it No matter how many times I scream No one will know An invisible lid Sealing the world from my voice Shrieks and cries that cast upon me I've vanished before they know it Rain running down my face Red streams flowing down my skin No one will know

Never have I ever chosen someone Yet the skies paint a different hue Every day and night from a view of the one All these buckets of emotions; each day is something new Spinning the unpredictable; I can't tame this storm Never have I ever sailed on a ship Yet here I am, tightly grasping onto my strings of life Bending and breaking along our road trip Tears for a smile, a heart bleeding from a knife  All this is for his and my destiny; anything to intertwine; doesn't let go Never have I ever been shattered and broken Yet I stand still, frozen by the fear that's corrupted me The words of pain and hatred; sharpen like thousands of needles; spoken Every kiss becomes a scar; every beat of my heart becomes a stitch; remains to be I've fallen and can't get up from the shadows that push me far below the surface A thousand times I say I'll never do this Yet my heart betrays me Is this my own will telling me otherwise?

Those I see are what or who I am Nothing but a reflection of images that project back People and things are what I transform No face to call my own Like a photograph, I copy images Like backspace, I forget the last moments What is it like to be unique Being able to be different from everyone else Have my own special features without using someone else’s What is it like to have my own identity? I can hear people call for me The fragrance that surrounds me, delicately dancing on my own nose I can bite out freedom into my soul What is it like to be different? I can be told apart from others Everyone will remember me for my specialties The only thing I have is a smooth field of glass You look at me and I look back at you I’m nothing noticeable since you’re always looking at you When I have my own identity My own figure and features You’ll see me different You’ll see me with a face A face that that contradicts from anybody else in the world tha...

Bleeding inside The heart continues to cry Day and night Walking into the shadows Seconds, Minutes, Hours Light falls out of thy hands Days, Weeks, Months, Years Standing still, emerged with silence Walking into the radiant world Putting on any of the masks Going out to have fun Running back to shut the world  Where did the smile go? Where did the laughter go? When did everything feel so fake? When did reality become a fear?
