Poetry

When I first heard about poetry, like many people have said they were nice and sweet, not giving them a second thought. Though I started to get more into after in the 7th grade my English teacher told us to bring in a poem and in front of the class say what our poem message was. While in my mind it was “Oh my god, what am I going to do.” 

So being a smart person I am, well hopefully. Looking through the internet I found this poem called Closer To You. What made me like the poem was it had romance in it and was it was Korean. Me being obsessed with South Korea then and now, hey I see you don’t judge me. Coming back, it made me more interested in it. One of my favorite lines from the poem is

 

“If you’d leave me,

I‘d be left with those pain and loneliness...
I didn’t think I would be able to handle it
So although I wanted to come closer,
I didn’t dare to come closer”

Reason being that now I’m in a somewhat relationship and this is how I feel right now with him.  The poem made me also realized that feeling of wanting to be with someone is the same in South Korea and in the world.

Here the link to the poem and another one for more poems to read!
