[Warning: It is literally just my second try writing an experimentatory (is that a word? No, Grammarly says it is not, but moving on-) poem, and this will most likely be unreadable in a poetic way (is that a thing? I don’t think that’s a thing…). So please bear with me as I have no idea what I am doing and I (probably) just threw a bunch of words that rhyme together.]40Please respect copyright.PENANAkH493VXTOC

The Proud hurts his True Love 40Please respect copyright.PENANAynsOBwB1uj
Can you hear the tender words not spoken, the pleasant voices unheard?
Can you feel the gentle touch of love unwilling to reveal?
You say you regret it yet you raise your hand to hurt
Your true feeling not wanting to show because the truth; you conceal
Choose anguish and pain over the joy of mirth
Continue to rip out his wound, don’t allow it to heal…40Please respect copyright.PENANAlXjWD3E9Q7
The Proud refuses to admit40Please respect copyright.PENANANk2dn6K31R
You liar, you liar! You king of deceptions…
Holding your head high like a stubborn elk
What a liar, a liar! You stare at your reflection
Feeling so grand of the lies that you told
Wear a new mask, fresh out of the mold
You’re feeling so proud, knowing they don’t see (talking about the truth here)
Erasing all the traces, leaving no clue
Celebrate, celebrate with glee! (I’ve truly gone mad)
But who did you deceive, truly, just who?
Clearly, also was he, certainly not me
Then who else, who?
In the end, the one you truly lied to was you40Please respect copyright.PENANAZdzFm3N4Kl
Just a little something40Please respect copyright.PENANAPGAfyF1xeQ
That day you thought he abandoned his own to protect the world40Please respect copyright.PENANAvoNaMCQfam
“Others over self”40Please respect copyright.PENANA85bZtiRxX2
You were truly so naive as to think he was that selfless40Please respect copyright.PENANAPRFWwoHIpg

You were so sure he chose to protect the people40Please respect copyright.PENANAcjYf7ERCBg

Selflessness in endless glory
Selflessness beyond the greatest
Could you give your life for me?
Ashes that seem like golden dust40Please respect copyright.PENANAx1wieR6h3B
Keeping it to myself
Because you did
You were on the highest shelf
Nothing left to rebuild
You did40Please respect copyright.PENANAnYP2JDNRdp

There once was a man in Linyi whose heart died at twenty
Meanwhile, a woman ran to the man, not willing to receive me
To whom shall the poor confide? To whom shall they run to?
The rich, they lied. The weak had no one to run to
No one would cry even if they die, and no one would miss them
The “righteous” only heave a heavy sigh and then they’d dismiss them
The weak, the poor, their dead bodies thrown in the moor
Yet the righteous, the powerful had their corpses adorned with gold
For what? I ask. For what is it for?
The spirit will die, the body will rot, and the food will grow mould40Please respect copyright.PENANAeaElSAkzEN
The fair, the just, justice is a must
Yet revenge is dirty, it is frowned upon
It’s just a change of words; love and lust40Please respect copyright.PENANAWuk2bptPTG
