Yugen


Sat in silence and wondering how the world could be this way

We're shaped with stamps of expiration from the day that we are made

Time, my friend, he steals from me the chance to change my fate

But in this time I may still I have, there's one thing I would change

 

No light can come without a shadow casted in its place

For all the woes amongst the world, it's our growth that makes us great

Without the loss of those we love, naivity wouldn't fade

We're all a drop of water, floating in endless space

 

Dreams of stars and supernovas and matter from which we came

Make our squabbles sound like silence in the grand sceme of things

If I could change just one thing, I'd have a simple goal

That all across the world we find peace within our souls

EAnders

I paint, animate, write novels and short stories, compose and record music, brew beer, create various social projects all while preparing to study biochemistry at UCSD. It's always been hard to focus on one subject as literally everything fascinates me, yet writing is always at the center of my life. At the moment I'm looking to publish at least one of the dozen-or-so novels I've been working on, maybe even freelance as a journalist at some point in the future... ...and to be honest I never wrote poetry until now.
