The Moment

Your eyes look like a victim being locked
in a transparent prison
like an innocent child
like a precious pearl dropped in a deep sea
like a swirling black hole lost in the universe
like someone using a telescope to see through my eyes
a fugitive running away from his soul
a pigeon carrying letters that gives people hope
a love letter sending love messages.
Like a sad poem written by a desperate poet,
like a swift wind that gives people the shivers
like the sun on a cloudy day,
a window full of decorations, a surveillance camera 
watching over the hidden secrets
like a baby crying, begging for attention
like a diamond,
a sad song, like an old person
who has wisdom, like an unspoken promise
made between two lovers,
the green leaves when spring comes,
the stars that shine in the night sky,
the patient suffering from depression,
like the fire that brightens us
like a camera that takes good photos
like a basketball that goes into the hoop,
fulfilling the shooter's dreams, like a planet,
like an underwater world
like a dystopian society that sank into oblivion 
like a shield protecting the soldier
like the stare I get when walking down the street
and sharing a moment with you in the crowd.

The Ability

a poetic response to "The Metaphor"


The "ability",
to hide our inner feelings and thoughts,
has been passed down from generation to generation.

The "ability",
is a disease that has an incubation period,
and started to show symptoms as we grow older.

The "ability",
is a bad capability,
because of the possibility,
of having a future calamity;

And eventually, 
we will have a epiphany,
of the world's cruelty, 
and will want to escape from this reality.

Mental Disorder

a poetic response to "The Sound of the Hollyhocks"




Mental disorder,
a devil that dominates your brain,
twists your mind,
and changes the way you perceive the world.

Mental disorder,
like a long-established custom,
immovable and firm,
and is incurable.

Mental disorder,
like parasites that invade your mind.
They eat the nutrients of your brain,
and eventually,
cause you to die.

The Exploration Of Humanity

      The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a horror fiction and psychological thriller that explores the evil and good sides of humans. In the novel, Robert uses a mysterious tone and the third person limited point of view, as the story follows Mr. Utterson, to create suspense and provoke the reader to continue reading the novel.
      The story begins with Mr. Utterson, a respectable lawyer, and his distant kinsman, Richard Enfield’s Sunday walk through the city of London. Everything seems normal hitherto, until they see the door of a building. Mr. Enfield then told Mr. Utterson a story that relates to the mysterious building. After knowing the strange story and reading through the will of Mr. Jekyll’s, a famous London doctor, Mr. Utterson begins to notice an eccentric person named Mr. Hyde, for Mr. Jekyll declared that all of his possessions will belong to Mr. Hyde after he had died or disappeared.
      Throughout the novel, Mr. Utterson is always trying to figure out the connection between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; because Dr. Jekyll protected Mr. Hyde, a monstrous creature that seems below humanity, when Mr. Utterson tried to persuade him to think more thoroughly about the will. The author chose the name ”Hyde” for this character because he is mysterious. And Mr. Utterson makes the pun ”If he be Mr. Hyde, I shall be Mr. Seek,” while he was waiting for Mr. Hyde to show up.
      The author illustrates the psychological theory of dualism, id, ego, and superego in the novel. Dualism refers to the philosophy view that the universe contains two radically different kinds of being, spirit, body, or mind. In The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Stevenson shows concern for dualism. He believes that humans have both the evil and the good sides, which is one of the main ideas of the book.
      There are id, ego, and superego in the structural theory of the mind, which is first introduced by Sigmund Freud, the founding father of psychoanalysis. Id refers to one’s desire, and it is the part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses are showed. And ego is the part of the mind that is rational and conscious. Superego works to balance the id and the ego. In the novel, Mr. Hyde is recognized as the id, and Dr. Jekyll is recognized as the ego.

      This novel explores the humanity and makes us realize that we have an evil and a good side within us. And by reading the novel, we can apprehend that as humans, we are constantly struggling the battle of good versus evil. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has a profound meaning to me, I really recommend people to read this book and explore whom they really are deep inside.
