'The Story Behind My Innocent Face' Poem by 143NinZ Lee

I.
The room I spent almost a year as my age
Is like a prison to me.
There are lots of books
That I treat as my best friend
And the walls full of paintings that
I'm the one who made it.
They locked me like a dog in a cage.
I want to escape from that scenario
But I don't have the courage
To do a certain action that can ruin
Everything they have planned.
That's what my innocent mind
Thinking that time.
When I'm in my exact age,
My thought about everything
Surrounds me changed.
I don't care anymore
About escaping and don't know
How to be scared.
My emotions turned to be blank
As a white paper.
The heart I have,
Don't know how to pump blood
For happiness and sadness.
It was now as empty as a bottle of wine.
I'm a witness of war,
A war between two same faces.



II.
I'm just as innocent like a child,
That's what they think about me,
But only few people knew who I really am.
My world is different from others world.
It's far being as innocent and ordinary.
Behind this innocence feature that I have,
There is darkness hiding in my past
Especially that I'm surrounded with malicious kind of mind.
They thought that I'm the one who did it!
I'm just a little kid that time
And don't know how to hurt innocent people!
I know how to protect myself from danger
But to hurt somebody else like them? No! A big no.



III.
My journey in life was not easy;
It's like a jigsaw puzzle
Full of mysteries.
I'm acting like a hunter
Ready to attack with my prey
But my path was changed
When I met them.
They are the reason why
My soul was enlightened.



IV.
I'm happy to have them in my life.
They are my new family,
My wonderful and amazing friends.
The reason why I want to change is because of them.
They help me how to be tough
To face the real world
And stand again with my own two feet.
They accept and understand my failures in life.
They love me who I am.
My friends treat me, not anymore as a weapon
But as a human being
Needs shelter and love.
I'm a lost child needed someone to be called family
And that's the story behind my innocent face.
