A reward is answered,

so sweet and innocent,
specially crafted,
for a pair of delicate hands,
unleashing the beauty beneath.

when I was blinded with unfortunate fate
You showed me life,
when I was mourning death
You showed me happiness,
when I was engulfed in sadness

the success,
the joy,
the grief and 
the anger
all that were mine,
were yours

we were monsters making messes
we were debaters waging wars of words

without you
I am a forsaken soul,
roaming around the world.]]> 2017-04-14 08:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/166352526 Fragile (Emely 3B) https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/166436318 Your words
tore me apart 
 and my heart shattered
 like broken pieces of glass. 

Love is a game they say,
Full of lies and illusions
Yet you let it fill my head with dreams
that taste never so sweet. 

Voices in my head 
punishing me endlessly, 
 taking over my mind
with no mercy

 Memories are haunting,
they are puzzle
of missing pieces 
that hurts so deep

But wounds heal they say,
all it takes is time
but for now on, 
i"ll just move on with life]]> 2017-04-15 17:03:15 UTC https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/166436318 https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/166471425 2017-04-16 15:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/166471425 Feelings (by Zuriel 3A) https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/166754257 my mind,
like a slab of concrete,
crushed till powdery,

Time encroach me, 
As meaning of life is rob away,
longing for a taste of freedom,
Oh, how i wish.

Like a pack of Piranha's,
pulling deeper into the cold water of misery,
struggling for a breath of nature's air,
Oh how i wish.

Stress increases,
as each metre into misery,
eats up my resilience.

The reality thought of companion,
strengthen me, like an ant,
wishing to reach its home safely.

dangerous it was,
loving you was a sacrifice,
entrusting her with everything i had
how foolish i was
tearing myself into pieces
just to put a smile on her face
being shattered into million pieces
not even been noticed
here she parts far and forever
now part of her past
a memory slowly fading
day by day

no one seems to notice it.
day by day,
the outer scars
slowly turn into inner scars,
the scars in the heart.

The scars outside 
can be seen,
but no ones
look into the heart
that has been hurt 
that has full of scars
and ask,
if its alright.

Weak,emotional they say,
but they don't know,
its because the heart
is too tired to fight anymore,
so it cries instead,
hoping that someone will notice.]]> 2017-04-18 15:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/166787219 https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/166793218 2017-04-18 15:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/166793218 Deserve Better (by Hadirah3A) nhadirah088 https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/166813150 it was all good for you.
your days were all sunny.
you make it seems so easy 
to be happy,
while i'm suffering alone.

Dark clouds surround me 
and it gets heavy 
whenever you're near me.

I did my best 
Indeed, i did everything
to make you stay.
but all you could do, 
was to leave.

Move on, cheer up.
little do you know,
how difficult it was for me.

Slowly,
i searched for the pieces
that could fill the blanks in me.

I picked myself up 
and assured myself,
that i deserve better,
than this.

Numb, was all there is
It is never seen nor felt
Deep down no one knows 
Blades piercing through the heart
Needles poking all over
Holding onto something impossible
Never ever letting go
Nothing was ever fine
Everything was a lie
Burning love and burning feels
Feeling the happiness of being there
Loving the feel of being there
Never want to stop
But never want to conitnue
Hurtful yet satisfying
Happy yet depressing
Nothing describes it
Love from the bottom of the heart
Never revealed and known]]> 2017-04-18 17:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/166835201 Lies (by Troy 3A) https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/166895000 You are a dark road engulfed by 
endless ray of moonlight
that burns through my soul,
fascinating path it may seem
but all it was a wrath to be seen.

decisions you make
a soul will break,
significant life it was
before she shoot I suppose.

You said "All I am is yours",
words that made me strong,
never thought it made me weak,
when you said it again,
not to me but to him.

pain starts to break in
words are shuffling,
darkness filled my mind
dark clouds building up 
devouring the bright sky that we made.

the world is ending
but all you said was 'sorry',
I faced the reality of your cruelty
all I can do now is to be happy
for your new world that replaced ours.

I sensed a feeling of eeriness.

That's when I knew
I need you. 

I pray for your appearance
and they never came true. 

Knowing the fact 
of where are you
pierced me through 
my soul. 

Being in someone's embrace, that's what I want to do. 

Again, realized that he wouldn't be you, I condemn to the truth. 

Care is all I wanted you to do
Yes you did
but it isn't to me. 

Little do you know 
you were pouring acid 
down my body. 

But you'll still in my heart
where it only beats fast for you.

Just like the first day i met you

Will you hold me like yesterday?
Because i just want to be with you

In a dark cold winter day
Close my eyes, will i see you again?

Hold on to my hand just like yesterday
Hang on and wait for me,
I'll be there.

When we laughed and shared it all
We were the very best of friends
Or at least that's what I thought.

I often wonder why friendships end
What happens to sever that tie
How can someone once so close
Just wave you off with a goodbye
I must have been lacking
I must have been wrong
I wasn't the friend to you
That you were to me all along.

I thought I was loyal
I know I was true
But something went wrong
Now there's nothing to do
A friendship lost
Is a very sad thing
That angels weep instead of sing.

About all the happiness you bring?

Have I told you yet...
That you mean the world to me?

Have I told you yet...
You smiles brightens up my day?

Just in case I haven't...
I want you to know that,

 don't seem enough
 for someone whose smile brightens up my day, 
whose touch can make me forget about
 the rest of the world.

They don't seem like enough 
for someone who's always been there 
to celebrate with me 
when everything goes my way 
And to hold my hand 
when my whole world seems to fall apart. 

But even though "I love you" 
can't express the depth of my feelings for you, I hope you know what's in my heart. 

Because loving you
Means more to me
Than anything in the world
And it always will.]]> 2017-05-02 14:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/169440376 Murder By Nabil 3B wickedwizard007 https://padlet.com/amyphua78/ptu0gz82gv4o/wish/169560742 Life, like the growth of a tree,
starts with the beginning of a sapling and ends with a history,
Always trampled upon,
the fragile plant always stood tall,
surrounded by many of its kind,
sheltered by its bigger self,
who it looks upon,

As centuries past and day changes,
The little sapling grew with many of its own,
it grows many little greenery
on its body and provide a shelter for its many little friends,
It grew many little artworks on its body that attract flying beauties,
The grown sapling now provides the little needs of its friends while expecting nothing in return from them...a true man,

As the days past and years vanished again,
The grown sapling had this time grown to mighty but gentle form,
capable of destroying rocks and boulders with its roots that marks its history but as beautiful as day while exposed to the little rays of light from above or from his generations of friends who dance around him in the night with little lights,
In his eyes he could see the many little ones that would grow just like him and his friends who grew with him,He stood tall with nothing to fear as he has everything to protect and everything to love,
little did the mighty tree knew,
It would not last long,

Everything was fine and the tree was as happy as ever,
its story was spread all around the world,
the tale of  a tree who is as kind as he is strong,
The story was so well known that one day a creature went up to him,
This creature was nothing he had ever seen,
he holds in his right hand a blade as sharp as a a tiger's tooth,
the smaller creature was standing on two legs and looks terrifying in the eyes of the dwellers of the tree that they immediately ran away from him,
The tree was sad that his friends left him but the mighty tree stood there in the way of the fearsome creature,
the creature then raised his mighty blade and proceeds to CHOP and CUT the tree without hesitating,
The tree was devastated,
It's mighty body that he was proud of was being cut by a sharp metal wielded by a smaller creature,
but still the tree stood there unable to escape,
In the brink of death,
all the tree could see was how many little creature gathered around him and his fellow tree like companions,
slowly chopping them down one by one,
the tree not knowing of any wrong it had did,
had to see he and his friends who he grew along with die in the hands of this creatures,
After the day was over,
all that remain was the roots of the tree that once stood tall,
the same roots that marks its history and allowed it to stand tall.

It is only a tree.

Needs must
And over the years
Fewer people walk anymore
In its shade.

Not the prettiest tree, 
It makes sense -
Transplanted it will
Continue to grow
Elsewhere.
And there will be other trees.

But to some
A tree is not
Just a tree -

It is shelter for lost children
From the uncaring sun.
The familiar shape
A friendly comfort
At the end of morning walks
And late night gatherings.

Beneath its foilage,
The whispered dreams of home
And first loves.
Scars chipped out, the lessons of time,
Against its bark.
Roots watered bittersweet
By decades of
Heartbreak,
And giving.

"It takes ten years to grow a tree"
This one will stand for ninety three.

When it falls at last, 
Shed a tear -
For the children
Who left a little piece of their soul
And

The gardeners
Grown old,
Under its leaves
