I Tolerate You
“If there’s a price for rotten judgment, I guess I’ve already won that. No man is worth the aggravation. It’s ancient history; Been there, done that.” We were all freshmen. We were just guppies. In the Journalism Society, We were the so-called babies. I honestly did not bother To create a bond with anyone.…

September 20, 2014 Hi. Remember the first time you saw my name? You told me it was from my application form, for the Mountaineering Club. You said I had a unique name— “SueAnn”.

© My love, please take me far away; Someplace like where we first met— When alcohol was streaming through our veins— In a sunset-coloured tent. I had no intention of knowing you then; You were meant to be only just an officer to me. Little did I know, you were the soul mate That…

For Simply Passing By
I didn’t like you at first. I actually liked your friend. And then one time, we got together to get a couple of drinks. You were never my type. You’re the modern hipster I try not to hate. You think you know so much. You hate almost every person in the world. The fuck’s wrong…
