A Poem A Day

Height

"Height"

By: Yoo Ahn Jin

I'm ashamed to say that until now I only cried for myself

My most painful cries still only come out for myself

How much older do I need to get to grow a bigger heart

And how much taller does my heart need to get before I can cry for someone else?

My eyes can only see myself on the most sorrowful days

My ears can only hear my laugh on the most happy days

I've never realized how imperfect my heart is

I'm embarrassed and ashamed.
