What Makes a Protagonist
Fabric of your existence,
Flesh of yours littering with scars
over a star
who seems to be afar.
After the every damned
You take a breath in words—
—and I look out for the cries.
Eyes on us, you despised
I take it for granted as it was.
Yet soul of a being crumbles—
—in a way as if regressing
or you did it more than a thousand times.
I said, honestly—
—it is what makes a protagonist.
Then I wanted to be you,
sure the blood I spilled for you
must be more than the ink
running through your veins.
So as if daring your own mind,
look how far you can go—
—without this salvation of mine.
Then I shall see you shine,
until I dream ahead of time.
Let me watch you smile
the laughter I never get to have,
which you don’t seem to—
—ever had one either.
But that’s okay,
since this is
what it makes a protagonist.
Happy thoughts—
—over sappy memories
for all to see,
for me to set free.
— happy birthday Yoo Joonghyuk !
