Grace Tan Poems

Don’t cover your face with your long bangs;
Try to hide your figure with your hands.
Look away when eyes lock into yours
Because you feel
...

To all those little people who knows not what they do;
Listen.

For all the Lilliputians
...

We were young and carefree,
Wild; never listening.
Try to conduct us to the right, its unmanageable.
Like standing in front of a towering wave,
...

It is not those glassy cold eyes,
Reflecting the still moonlight
With equal coldness;
That scares me.
...

I am sad-
Don’t ask me for its depth.
There’s just a horrible sinking-
Swallowing every breath that comes;
...

The world is a controversial place,
We don’t mean what we say.
Does yes really mean yes;
Are words just barbaric plays?
...

If words were enough to express what I feel
I would tell you so.

Happy,
...
