FROZEN LAKE, Ava JACOBSEN, 2022
Life Of NiHIlitY Jason LIU, 2021
Being expelled again by the villagers, I curled up in a corner of my hovel A life suffers from limitless rejections I should stop brainwashing myself There is not a spot for me on this world During my time in this hovel, I can not cease reading Stealing books from villagers I once believed books could give me the solution to life But the stories are false! An ugly duckling never matures into a beautiful swan! “Ugly creature,” that’s what they call me The Ugly Ducklings are born to be ugly No matter how hard they fight, the reality is impregnable I gave everything to the world, received nothing but the air and cold eyes from people I finally decide to surrender, at the moment you read through this line I hang up my smile, quench the flame of hope inside I want my revenge to be an unforgettable one As you read this, I officially declare my war on humans!
