To Brother And Friends: The Mother I Never Had

To Brother And Friends: The Mother I Never Had

A Poem by 송지석 / Ji-Suk

That excuse that used by saying how hard it was for you to have us, but I won't fall for that lie
You cried a lot because of me, but do you now know of how much I cried every night because of you?
How were you like that?
How many times was it like that, all I ever wanted was a mother?

That naive kid has grown up 
I am not myself anymore 
I have killed the old self in me

When I can’t find a place to stand
When I’m lost in a storm
The people that have given me unchanging love
and courage, I send my gratitude to them

Sometimes there were times when I felt that I was alone
Looking at me crying so much in those past days
How heartbreaking and hard must it have been for you?
Only now do I think I can understand

Until the end of my life,
until the end of this world
We will be together forever

Like little hearts gather to become a great strength
I believe we are one
Together we create happiness
’till the day when we become light in the parched world
I love you

Are you dreaming the same dream as mine?
Are you really looking at the same place I am?
That thing only can heal every pain in this world
As long as we can cherish each other

’till the end of my life
’till the end of this world
We will be together forever

Like little hearts gather to become a great strength
I believe we are one
Together we create happiness
’till the day when we become light in the parched world
I love you

When we see people who’ve lost hope
We should become the great strength
for them to stand up again
Because they might need the hand of a family like me

Like little hearts gather to become a great strength
I believe we are one
Together we create happiness
’till the day when we become light in the parched world

I love you

You are right. Need other people with similar lives to heal.
"Like little hearts gather to become a great strength
I believe we are one
Together we create happiness
’till the day when we become light in the parched world"
I liked the above lines. Needed and worthwhile words and thoughts.

Thanks for calling it worthwhile!

It was and you are welcome.
You might want to look over the grammar of the first line, maybe say:
"The excuses you used, saying how hard it was..."
instead
And the line: "I have killed the old self in me"
would read better as "I have killed my younger self/ I have killed the older version of me"
Something along those lines
Otherwise, I really like the poem, good job!
