Childhood

Bruises, scratches, scabs, 

Patchy sunburnt skin and rashes from falling off my bike. 

“Be careful!” my mom says, 

“I will!” I replied back. 

I never was—the urge to be that daring, brave kid always by my side.

This poem is written in the Korean form called Sijo. During this experience, I have learned to be more playful and free with my writing and creativity.
