Years back I wondered what it would be like to be in a place where no one knows me and where no one cares.
But just a month ago I experienced the very thing I've wondered for years.
The moment I stepped my foot into this classroom, it was eerie.
There were few who smiled but my mind remained full of queries.
It's like entering to a foreign dimension
Unprepared and defenseless
With only my guts to guide me,
I tried to be fearless.
Here was cold and warm at the same time.
It's like a bowl of sweet and sour combined.
And for quite a time
Like an oil poured into a half-filled glass of water, I couldn't blend in.
But after several suns passed me by
A smiling sun suddenly appeared at the clouded sky
There I saw different colors of acrylic paint around me which I have not seen before
And like an astute painter
I was able to turn a blank canvas into a painting with unforgettable story.
I painted you.
I painted them.
And I painted us.
Making sure the moments we shared will not turn to dust.
I painted you.
I painted them.
And I painted us.
Making sure that the story of us will never rust.
Now, looking back to all the years I've wondered what it would be like to be in a place where no one knows me and where no one cares.
I can't help but smile because for a month I experienced the very thing I've wondered for years.
The moment I stepped my foot out of the classroom, it was blurry.
For my heart had to be detached from where it had rooted very suddenly.
From a foreign dimension, you turned out to be an indelible one.
From a foreign dimension, we have created a masterpiece.
So with heavy steps, I'll walk away.
Hoping with every step, i'll leave imprints of our memories on the ground.
So that you too will never forget.
Forget me not, TNHS.
