Lynnie Kim Poems

Hey, do you see the fool I’ve come to be
To protect you from those twisted lies
I schemed... I tried, I failed, I fried
...

I paint my face so no one will see
the ugliness that I see in me

But you say you saw my beauty shine through
...

I'd rather cry over a silly love song,
Than paste a smile upon my stoney face,
staring out at the world, totally unfazed.
...

Forget it, let it go.
Compel youself,
don’t let anyone know.
Maybe this way,
...

When I gave you away,
why return and beg to stay?

Then I locked you up in hold,
...

I finally see the futileness of all these I have done
At the very end, I know, I should never have begun
I hope it’s not too late to save this cowardly soul
From the hope it keeps, buried deep, but knows it cannot hold
...
