My favorite poem “Happy” by Brian Oliva aka SuperB. (One of my favorite poets)
•Highlighted my favorite lines because it’s relatable.
“The human heart longs for happiness…”
“I just want to be happy, period… I’m going to close my eyes and go back to a time to when I was the happiest. Mix that time with a dream and a smile to figure out where I’ll be happy next.”
“I want the feeling of winning the lotto minus the jackpot. I want the high minus the weed and crack rock. I want the feeling of the world champion ship without actually winning. IF you didn’t figure me out yet, I’m not in it for the material. I’m in it for the feeling…I guess that’s why it’s so easy to leave/weave out the fake people in my life and start from the beginning…”

Sarah Kay - For my daughter (If I were to ever have a daughter)
“ If I should have a daughter, instead of Mom, she’s gonna call me Point B….”
I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart
I am never without it
anywhere I go you go,
my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing,
my darling
I fear no fate
for you are my fate,
my sweet
I want no world
for beautiful you are my world my true
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root
and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky
of a tree called life;
which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart
I carry it in my heart

“The human heart longs for happiness…I don’t want to be that happy face on the bumper sticker kind of happy.
I want to be that 3 year old eating booger but fun kind of happy…
but fall a sleep on the park bench
just to wake up to the sun setting kind of happy.
Like my soul is a wagging tail over a happily ever after fairy tale.
I just want to be happy. period…….
I’m going to close my eyes and go back in time to when I was the happiest.
Mix that time with a dream and a smile to figure out where I’ll be happy next.
Seems simple.
I just want to be butt naked singing boys2men songs in the shower
till the water turn cold kind of happy.
or just sit where everybody makes me feel young
til my arms turn old kind of happy I’m different.
I want the feeling of winning the lotto minus the jackpot.
I want the high minus the weed or the crack rock.
I want the feeling of the world championship without actually winning.If you didn’t figure me out yet
- I’m not in it for the material. I’m in it for the feeling.I guess that’s why it’s so easy to leave out the fake people in my life
and start from the beginning.
So let me start from the beginning.
I want to be a baby.
Scratch that I want to be a maybe in a room full of NOs.
And Kanye ask me how I stay faithful in a room full of hoes.
It’s easy…I just think of the person who makes me the most happy.
And maybe those Hoes turn into a room full of reminders
that I actually found a lady.
That makes me want that first kiss kind of happy.
That I miss you, do you miss me kind of happy.
That laugh until you pee.
I believe in you, do you believe in me….
You know what else that makes me happy?
Gummy bears and icecream.
and random comments like that makes it seems like this poem isn’t about you.The girl in my dreams…
it seems that we are taking different exit on the subway
looking for you in this dream.
I started to whisper her name in a nightmares
because she haven’t dreamt in a while.
If you see her
she’s probably wearing her favorite outfit
with heart shaped sleeves and a perfect smile.
I started to whisper her name in nightmares
because she says she haven’t dreamt in awhile.
If you see her,
let her know that a naked dreamer with a 3 year old soul singing boys2men songs and eating boogers is looking for her.
Sounds attractive,I know.
Let her know that she’s thee reason why I’ve been smiling a lot lately.
Let her know she’s the reason why I’m happy.”
This is my favorite piece from Super B aka Brian Oliva. His words are pure relatable. His words in this this piece makes me want that type of happy.
To have that type of happy with that someone someday.
- Shoot, I want to be that a naked dreamer with a 3 year old soul singing boys2men songs and
eating boogersis looking for that someone.

my broken reflection
As I look in the mirror
I turn down the lights
And wonder who is starring back at me
I ask myself all the possible things “Who Is This”
This broken reflection
Isn’t free
She has much to learn
Her wings are still set low to the ground
but her strength grows each and every day
One thing that will never change in that reflection is her love for her loved ones
Change is only good if you want it not for someone else who tells you it.
-Kathy Yuen
The hope that tomorrow brings happiness
The hope that tomorrow brings happiness
Is always in our hearts
Listen to the silence
You’ll find it there
The empty words never spoken
The heart can no longer bear
Wherever you go
It will follow and be near
Into the happiness of tomorrow
No longer lost in despair
The doubt is in the past
Never to be relived again
Savor these moments
Let it sink in
May your heart beat restlessly
Until the very end.
-a penny for your thoughts….I hope after reading this it will makes some sense, if not- oh well.
Remember HOPE is key.
A wise woman once told me to “Never ever stop believing in hope. You’ll never know what life has in store for you in the near future, hope is what we can live for”. okay this wise lady is my Auntie …but hey I bet as an individual you have a somebody in your life that tells you this too or in some form of it. but yeah-
Never expect anything, only hope…only hoping for the best for you ,it’s not wrong to hope.
For many, Hope is what keeps their spirit alive.
Yours truly,
-Kathy
Can you hear it?
The sound of my heart beating a little faster?
The butterflies in my stomach starting to flutter?
Can you see it?
My cheeks becoming full of color?
My eyes widening a little as you get closer?
Can you feel it?
The goosebumps rising on my arms with your simple touch?
The way you tease me with just a small smile?
Oh but if you only knew what you can do me, make me feel.
I’m afraid to get close to you…You want to know why?
You can promise me anything…
Promise to give me the world
Promise to never hurt me
And to promise that you’ll always be there
But you see…
That just sounds too good to be true
I want to buy into the things you can give me
Not materialistically
But physically and emotionally
Though, you see….
My heart is still blue
Blue from the past “love-struck No-luck”
From guys who promised me the same things,
Just as you are promising me now-
But it isn’t at all equivalent compare to yours…
That has driven me to not give a flying fuck
Maybe that’s why it’s hard for me…
That my feelings are too compressed
That I don’t want to get hurt like before
That’s why I deny you in wanting to be with me
Or the idea of me being with you in the future
If there is a future
Or if there’s any future left to compose of
And build from…
That love is just too good to be true,
For me at least it is…
That love in itself is a full blown conspiracy
…Even though I really do want to get close to you
I want to be more for you
That of which you are already willing to be more for me.
I’m sorry, I really am.
And I really do.
It’s not your age that is bothering me
I told you that only because of everything else
It’s just that I’m afraid.
Afraid that if I do get close to you
And you get close to me.
I would lose you.
And you wouldn’t care if you were to lose me.
Or that your promises are just like the rest
Waiting to be diminished and shattered
I guess I have issues…
Commitment wise issue
As you can tell
I bet you all think I do…
I don’t like the thought of getting close to you
To only lose you in the mist of it all
In the end that is
As your heart is open to love
And for love
I’m afraid to take that gamble.
Only time will tell
If there is any time to tell from
And it’s driving me crazy
Because you are everything a girl could ever want in guy
And much more
You are one in million
Yet I’m too scared to even take that gamble
-Kathy Yuen
P.s it took me a while to jot down my thoughts and feelings into this poem.
Graduation By Kathy Yuen
You stand there at your High School graduation
Thinking of all your good times
You watch all you friends suddenly grow up
You try to not to cry
So much happened this year
That you’ll never forget
And you didn’t know til just now
How you would’ve cherished it
Your usually happy school is over
But this time it’s different
All the laughs, the cries
Oh how much you’ll miss it
Memories flash before your eyes
As you here each name be said
You come back to reality
When you see your best friend
You see them different though
No longer just your “best friend”
But your family
And the wonderful persons they become
You go back to your memories
Tears stream down your face
They all seem like pictures
All going one-by-one
This was the year you fell in love
And realized what friendship really meant
You found out how stressful life can be
And how its well spent
This was the year you became your own person
And stopped living by other people’s rules
And the year music became life
And everyone but you seemed like fools
This was the year you found out how stupid parents seem to be
But that you love them so much
And the year friends became family
And you realized you love a guys&Girls touch
You always thought things would never change
So you didn’t care that time flew by too fast
But now your standing there crying,
Thinking of all that’s in the past
Everyone’s name has soon been called
And you wake up from your day dream
You look up to see no longer High School faces
But young men and women with dreams
Are they still the same kids
You’ve spent time with
You question that and many other things
and you realize everyone has started singing that cheesy graduation song…
”..As we go on..
We remember..
all the times..
We spent together…”
”..And as our lives change..
Become whatever..
We will still be..
Friends forever..”

Class of 2011 we did it!!!!
In my mind
In my mind,
I’m free to be free,
No matter what anyone wants me to be.
In my mind,
I can escape,
Escape from this world we call reality.
In my mind,
I’m only me,
You are you, just as it was meant to be.
In my mind,
The world is that is real is now fake,
The world that is fake is real,
All my troubles are held at arm’s length,
For it’s my mind,
And mine to see only,
Where no one can tell me what to be,
Because in my mind
I am nothing but free.
My mind is mysterious,
My mind is colorful,
My mind is mine,
As yours is yours,
And we close and open them for whoever we may choose.
Our minds are linked,
Our minds are closed,
Our minds are free to do as they please,
And now as we dream,
We see the truth,
But buried deep,
Oh, so deep,
Is the answer to our never ending problems.
So, keep digging my friend,
To find the treasures of your mind,
As I find my own,
In the deep, wonderful dept of our minds.
Though, our lives may be timed,
Our minds are chained,
But there is always the chance of escape,
Follow me, my friend,
As we explore the never ending possibilities,
Of our one of a kind,
Unique
Colorful,
Imaginative,
Unknown,
Mysterious,
Minds.
-Kathy Yuen
I’m all alone
Here I sit.
Up in my room.
With only music.
To keep the quiet out.
I’m all alone.
Here I sit.
With the window open.
A light breeze is blowing.
To keep nature awake
I’m all alone.
Here I sit.
My hearts beating.
I can hear it in my ears.
Saying I’m alive.
I’m all alone.
Here I sit.
Chilled from my fan.
The cold gives me bumps.
Saying I still feel.
I’m all alone.
Here I sit.
All by myself.
Not a soul to love.
Reminding me.
I’m all alone.
Walking in circles
Walking in circles
In search of something new
Today feels like yesterday
No matter what I do
Following foot steps
That were left by my own shoes
Chances are tomorrow I’ll still have those sunshine blues
I don’t have no time
I don’t have no strength
I don’t have no faith
So tell me someone
Where,
Oh where,
Oh where are my tomorrows gonna come from?
Oh where,
Oh where are my tomorrows gonna go?
But then on the positive note….
One might answer:
”Don’t go in circle,
Take a step forward…
Things will change if you put faith & hope in…
Nothing is impossible,
It’s just you who’s stopping yourself & making yourself believe it impossible.
So have faith & take that step forward don’t be afraid…
Your tomorrow is here…
With a simple smile today will be so much clear..”
Love for yourself is STRONGER than anything
Love for yourself is STRONGER than anything
You die alone, so might as well make life a party with everyone whose still kickin it.
Life’s a love hate relationship but in the end they cant be without each other
I honestly prefer to be barefoot
I love the outdoors. fuck walls. nothing should hold us back
I like to think im pretty down to earth
Like as if im flying and nothing can touch me
I love everything in this fucked up world
I’m still learning. we all are.
Love. a strong ass word. don’t fuck with it unless you mean it.
Remember,love for yourself is stronger than anything
That’s like 1/10000000 of who i am.
That’s life for ya
Dad you used to be my hero
Okay here is a poem I wrote my junior year for English about my dad, it’s not all great of writing but it was my truth I got to let out during my time writing this:
Dad you used to be my hero
You were my hero from the very start
You’ve always said you’ll be there
Never let anything thing us apart
I would remember all the hopes and dreams you had for me
Until the day you met the bitch
All the expectation just disappeared
She’s was the fucking villain,
But you didn’t care or give a shit
All her manipulation
Had you twirl around her fingers
She brought me down
To my very lowest,
I felt like crap.
Dad you used to my hero,
Until you let her tear me down,
Didn’t do anything about it
And the day you chose her over your own daughters
It’s hurts to know that your very own hero deserted you.
Especially when it’s your dad
You used to be my hero
Now you’re just the deadbeat asshole,
I hope you know.
