❝ U n t o l d ❞

That night, the reason I run recklessly,
Wasn't because I wanted to catch my father--who run away.
It was so I could gather up my pain and turn it into strength to keep living.
My father was going to continue living his own life,
Like he always has and from then on,
I had to support myself.

That was the premonition I had that night, The hatred that I felt all over my body was carved into me.
And I believe it was all because of my father. 
I run to let my father go and that was my last resort.
I'm at the bridge of Han River,
I waited for him like a fool, like a lunatic.
Without any pride, I hate myself for anticipating and worrying why didn't he show up, my tears were masked by the rain,
Unseen by all, alone with my pain,
One thing for sure is I will jump and let myself drown and die,
I no longer live my life with all these lies,
But I found myself shouting for help soundlessly,
I regretted it. It was cold and dark,
And I wanted help but no one was around,
I can't see anything 'til my eyes blurred
And yet I'm alive, alive but can't feel my life.
It's been 6 years, since then,
During those 6 years, my life still blurred
The lines of tomorrow and today are the same.
The days are mundane and no one ever invaded my life.
There were peaceful days on which I also didn't invade others lives But still can't escape from the nightmare of a past.
My mom died 5 years ago and I always blamed dad.
I'm already a doctor now, I miss mom so bad,
Except for dad, I've grown up and realized,
That his life is nothing but one thousands lies.
I no longer see him and I won't bother care for him.
He was my dad that I once knew,
But little do he know the pain that I've been through.
I drag myself to reality when some of my colleague talk to me ,
She said there was a dead body which found on the river,
I run quickly as I can, enter the room fast,
As usual it really stinks, as I walk toward the body,
The world stop I wonder if somebody can slap me.
My heart aches but the prevalence of my pride gets higher,
Why did he die? All I thought he was enjoying his life
I didn't even tell him how I hate him,
I want to cursed him, slap, blame and argue to him vehemently.
"Sammy what's wrong?" uttered the nurse
I calm myself first as I walk toward slowly,
It's been six years that I've resented him.
"Oh I forgot! We found his wet I.D 
And at the back was a message for you to check your phone"
I rolled eyes and get my old phone which I usually use when my father text me. I'm shook there was a voice message.
" Hello. It is me your father--- I know. I know your hurt. Just pls calm down. Where are you now? Text me if you hear this voice message call me my princess.
W-w-wait i-i-s that you? Are you going to jump? Nooo! Don't worry princess I'm going to save you----"

The feeling I felt before went back,
I came into realization.
For god sake, Dad I'm sorry!
I regretted it a lot, my tears went down
'Til I saw myself in the floor sobbing and murmuring,
In that time, no longer would fake smile appear,
They'd be true I covered with fear,
It'd be as though it was a dream, that came one night to make it seem, As though this was really true, but no there's only one thing I must do, Go back in time and erase this pain, wash it away on rivers of rain. All this could happen if only I could go back.
And once again in my life, I'd be on the right track.
