tHank You for breAthing

even if it's a sigh,
I'm thankful for breathing
even on sleepless nights,
the pillow's embrace is welcoming
the applause that i used to dream of is in the past
now I become mesmerized with my daughter's clap
I can't say that I have lost everything
because even after losing 99
I still find little things impressive
I laugh
to me, the words 'I wanna die'?
no, let it be
the things that make me breathe
the calm rain
the sweet taste of killing time with my friends
red flowers, blue flowers,
the cloud flowers in early mornings
plenty of laughter blossoms in the garden called love
bloom, my heart rested
the winds in Jeju island
the night lights in Seoul
Epik High's music I hear on the streets while walking
the eyes of my wife and my baby
can I stop suffering now?
can I stop being in fear now?
can I laugh as much as I have cried?
get up and stand up
when I opened up my fists, a handshake was welcoming me
when I opened up my heart, an applause was welcoming me
the wrinkles on my forehead disappeared
and the sky was full of smiles
I swallowed a mouthful of happiness
let it go, child, I let it go ma
those hopeful hands I wanted to grab so much
I had too much hope and too many dreams
it was so high and I couldn't reach
but I don't wanna lose it
the closed heart was so narrow and was unable to contain
it would break due to too much force
you don't wanna see
I was ashamed
for a minute
for only just a minute
everybody makes mistakes and misunderstands
get your mind right go straight, balance yourself
and first, go find your L O V E that you have lost
then second, find your dream and regain your confidence
third, to my friend who helped me so much
here I go
being normal is good enough
I'm curious of the drama's ending that I don't usually watch
it was uncomfortable to even listen to music
but the singers that I like kept releasing albums
by watching variety shows that I did not want to be in
I regained the laughter that I had completely forgotten about
thank you, all the people on TV
there are still many empty notebooks to be filled
there are still many people to take care of
there are still many questions that have not been answered
and many answers that have not been received

smile
