Paying it forward to BTS.

Recommended Posts

There is so much to be grateful every day of our lives, especially during this holiday season. I’m being blessed with a daughter who takes care of her 62 years young mother 24/7 due to memory loss that’s limiting my capabilities. Although I’m struggling with this condition, I’ll will fight it to the end.

 

Inspired by the trajectory and achievements of BTS, being triumphant over struggles and oppositions, a month ago I decided to challenge myself with a quest to wake up my brain and also to reciprocate BTS for all the happiness and inspiration that they bring to my life, to young people, and to the whole world. The quest consisted in writing a poem for BTS as a group, one for each member, and one for A.R.M.Y. since I think they are doing great things for BTS and their communities. 

 

Since I cannot always remember a verse after finishing writing it, it’s very difficult but not impossible. Those fluent in English have already realized that English is my second language, only Spanish in my everyday life. So this is how MBB BTS GIFT BOX came to be, and little by little I’ll be posting the poems. They are not great but, at my present situation, I did my best. 

 

Just learning to use OneHallyu and Twitter with my daughter’s help (she is also my editor). Please forgive me if I do something that’s not correct. If I don’t reply to your comments, give me some time, in a good day I’ll be able to say thank you for reading it.

 

Since this quest is finished, send me suggestions of what I should challenge with next. Enjoy life safely, you are so valuable and there is long path, full of surprises and opportunities for you to find success. God bless you all.

Mr. Kim Nam Joon, you are an intelligent and wise young man. There’s an army that believes in you, not only as an artist but also as a humble person that one day dreamed large and now is reaping the fruits of hard work. Blessing you for being a leader, not only of BTS, but also the revolution of how we view ourselves and the roles we play in changing this world for the better.

 

Inspired by my favorite song from Mono’s playlist (loving also ‘Moonchild’) this is my gift for giving us a perfect gem, ‘Forever Rain’.

 

‘AN APPLAUSE FOR RM’ – MBB BTS GIFT BOX #1 – INSPIRED BY ‘FOREVER RAIN’ –‘IF I WAS A RAINDROP’

 

If I was a raindrop…

I’d merge with your teardrops to become one with your pain,

Embracing your spirit ‘til the end of time and verse.

 

If I was a raindrop…

I’d smile with you in the morning mist that plays with your flower bed,

Be a puddle where you splash your happiness for feeling like a kid again.

 

If I was a raindrop…

I’d be in the Han River to bring you peace when life demands make you overwhelmed,

So you can enjoy those alone moments and breathe the hope of a new day.

 

If I was a raindrop…

I’d be in a rainfall to shower your soul with a mist humming love conquers pain,

To heal you when you’re hurting so bad that your shadow is blue in a forever rain.

 

If I was a raindrop…

I’d be freezing for you when winter breezes comes your way,

So you can play in the snow, laughing about life without any concerns.

‘A PURPLE WAVE FOR A.R.M.Y.’ MBB BTS GIFT BOX #11 – ‘MAGIC SHOP’

 

Must we be unhappy because circumstances around us treats us badly, shaking up our world?

Amidst the tears, sun’s hope rays are coming your way, even if your life looks like a dark damp space.

Gain strength from your faith, your dreams, and an inspiring phrase,

In every situation there’s a blessing hiding, look hard for it, believe me it’s there.

Calm your senses, this hard time will pass if you look at it thru a new realm.

Since we as A.R.M.Y. are in a devoted relationship with our beloved BTS,

Having a detailed look to their long journey from unknowns to KPOP's Group people knows best,

Offer us the best evidence that we should keep trying, even if we can’t see when hardships will end.

Please A.R.M.Y. be healthy and continue your good work, joining hands in a purple ribbon for the safety of our BTS.

Never surrender, even if it takes a little longer,

Fight for your dreams till the drop of the final curtain.

Sickness or circumstances can't define yourself,

Find your happiness, relax breathing good air.

Every problem has a solution, just wait until you find the answer.

There is no time to waste, enjoy life safeguarding your essence.

These poems are lovely, I’m glad BTS has inspired you to be creative and that you are sharing your wisdom with us. Life experience has taught me that happiness comes from within, which is why I find the messages in BTS’ music so inspiring.

 

You will never be happy if you don’t love yourself.

 

Thank you.

As you can see , I don’t know anything about editing videos or memes, only offering a space to celebrate BTS performances, achievements, awards and projects; a topic of pure encouragement to show them that A.R.M.Y. and non-fandom members are grateful for the sacrifices and restrictions they must suffer for us to enjoy fascinating and captivating performances.

 

Please share how they have changed or influenced your life, your favorite song, the performance that inspired you the most, the lyrics that gave you hope when you were suffering from a troubled mind or the choreographies that make you wonder how seven young men can do so much in so little time. We are posting them with an open and genuine heart, and somehow they will feel our warmth.

 

So there’s the challenge, will you give them some of your time, preparing something so exceptional that fills with content their hearts? I know you can do it, you have so many talents, so many ideas; I’ve seen and enjoyed your videos and they’re really singular. I’ll be waiting for all the collaborations, all welcome without exception. There is only one rule: it should be a positive message for BTS and BTS’s heart, A.R.M.Y.

 

Today I am posting a little poem titled ‘True Love’ to promote the ‘PURPLE RIBBON PROJECT’ from A.R.M.Y. and any other initiative to make BTS safer and happier. Also posting ‘BTS’s Songs Short Story’, inspired by some of BTS songs titles, collaborations and covers. I suggest that you look for those titles you didn’t recognize, there is a vast BTS universe to discover...

‘True Love’

 

When you’re granted talents that defy expectancy,

There’s a need to raise their power to the infinite.

BTS are steady and groundbreaking artists reaching new heights.

For them time is precious, validating what’s essential in their life.

We, as fans, should never lessen their rights of privacy and respite.

As much we love them, we should respect them; their safety is our pride.

‘BTS Songs Short Story’, inspired by some of BTS songs titles, collaborations and covers. I suggest that you look for those titles you didn’t recognize, there is a vast BTS universe to discover...

 

‘BTS SONGSHORSTORY’

Months ago I had lots of ‘No More Dream’ days, ‘Like’ I couldn’t say “ I’m Fine â€ within me. People assumed that ‘We Are Bulletproof Part 1’. The reality is that during my ‘Skull Luv Affair’ days I was in a ‘War of Hormones’, a ‘Boy In Luv’ who had ‘N.O.’ idea of the 'Danger' of a ‘Fake Love’.

After ‘Awake’ning the ‘Fire’ in my feelings for my ‘First Love’ from ‘Seul’ I tried to ‘Begin’ a relationship with ‘Her’ with the ‘Singularity’ of my confession. I dialed ‘124340’ and asked ‘Her’ to meet me at ‘4 o Clock’ in the park , in the most beautiful ‘Spring Day’, near the ‘Seesaw’ for to later visit ‘Her’ favorite ‘Magic Shop’. She arrived early, and after I saw ‘Her’, my heart was in ‘Paradise’. I ‘Love’ everything about you I said, ‘It's Definitely You’, your ‘Dimple’s are my devotion. I want to share with you ‘The Best of Me’, we’re not ’Young Forever’, can we … I couldn’t finish, she ran away from me.

I began to ‘Run’ after ‘Her’ with my ‘Converse High’ until I saw my ‘Reflection’ in ‘Her’ eyes, and with all my ‘Blood, Sweat & Tears’, softly holding ‘Her’ hands, I confessed – “Loving you is in my ‘DNA’, my love for you is no ‘Joke’, ‘I Need You’ to ‘Hold Me Tight’, to ‘Hug Me’ and ‘Save Me’ from this burden past of ‘Boy Meets Evil’. I’m making my ‘Mama’ suffer from the ‘Stigma’ of my ‘Jump’ into a world of ‘Lie’s. ‘For You’ I’ll ‘Change’. I’ll be the ‘Moonchild’ that protects you from ‘Forever Rain’. If you have spare time, please ‘Waste it on Me’. Your ‘Love’, can you ‘give it to me’?†She replied ‘Not today’. I asked her again ‘What Am I to You’, don’t you know ‘O! RULE 8.2’ of ‘Love’? ‘Love Is Not Over’, please ‘Don’t Leave Me’. ‘Her’ answer was ‘Let Go’ of my hand. ‘Ddaeng’, that was the ending of all my dreams of us being together by ‘Serendipity’. That was the ‘Prologue’ of my feeling’s demise.

 

I felt ’Lost’ and ‘Dope/Sick’ in a ‘Sea’ of ‘Tear’drops. ‘Am I Wrong’ for having heard the ‘Pied Piper’ of ‘Love’ in a ‘21st Century Girls’ world? I saw ‘Her’ everywhere, in the ’Wings’ of a ‘Butterfly’, in the ‘Crystal Snow’ falling in my ‘House of Cards’ and in the sight of a flock of ‘Baepsae’s flying ‘So Far Away’. I felt ‘Like’ my body was covered by a mountain of ‘Dead Leaves’, ‘Like’ this was ‘The Last of Me’. The ‘Anpanman’ of my school asked me why are you crying? ‘Nevermind‘ I replied trying to escape but he hugged me and said – ‘So what’ if she doesn’t loves you, ‘You are Never Alone’, ‘Please don’t Die’ from ‘Love’. But I couldn’t let it ‘Go, Go’, couldn’t do it in a One! Two! Three!

 

I listened to the music and read about the history of BTS, of how RM met with ‘Agust D’, J-Hope, Jimin, Jungkook, V and Jin, and began planning with Big Hit their ‘Attack On BTS’ theme. ‘Love Yourself’ was their answer and now they are flying in an ‘Airplane’ because they still have dreams to pursue.

 

They were my inspiration to heal my love wounds. I needed to de’Cipher’ the turmoil of my emotions. I tried to find a way out from this ‘Love Maze’, for me to have a ‘Tomorrow’. I had an ‘Epiphany’, then I saw the ‘Answer: Love Myself’. ‘We Are Bulletproof Part 2’ from now on against ‘Fake Love’.

 

I discovered that I’m a ‘Born Singer’ and began to â€˜Daydream’ about being an ‘Idol’ for ‘Just One Day’, to have a ‘Mic Drop’ with Kanye West or Drake; to be able to fly in an ‘Airplane Part 2’ and feel the ‘Euphoria’ of success. There’s a great future ahead of me. The End.

Bangtan Boys, perdonen por no haber reconocido cuan agudo ha sido el estrés.

Todos esperan presentaciones de excelencia, prohibido tener un traspié,

Sentimientos encontrados cuando la fatiga casi los hace desfallecer,

Felicitaciones y premios trabajados con esfuerzo tenaz y sacrificio del ser.

Ondulan las ‘ARMY BOMBS’ en los conciertos como las olas al atardecer,

Recibiendo la admiración absoluta unida a restricciones a su potestad de escoger.

El público les va escudriñando hasta el más pequeño rasgo de la tez,

Vistos como “Idolsâ€, no como personas que sufren por expectativas irreales.

Este nuevo año deseo que la fama no ahogue la efervescencia con la que los vimos crecer.

Reposen todo el tiempo necesario, ámense un poco más, nosotros estaremos con BTS FOREVER.

In Memoriam, Kim Jonghyun

 

Keeping your memories so close to my heart,

 

Immersed in your music, it's difficult to accept that we are forever apart.

 

Maybe I'll see you in my dreams to erase the pain clouding your mind.

 

Just for a little moment I would like to see your smile,

 

Our eyes fixed in each other as a buried treasure in the sand.

 

Now that you are gone I wish to have the power to turn back time,

 

Gloomy days erased by my presence comforting you as you cry.

 

How come I didn't see the sadness asphyxiating your resolve to fight?

 

Year anniversary of your passing, still healing a wound deep as an ocean of cries.

 

Unique your talent for removing the cob webs covering the secrets I tried to hide,

 

Must breathe and pursue my happiness, because of you, no matter the hardships, I will survive.

I’m been reading a lot about the discrimination suffered by entertainers when it’s discovered that they are or had been dating. My heart is with those that must choose between their careers and the ones they love.

My 2019's wish: Bring more acceptance to their right to love whomever they choose. Inspired by this, and celebrating Kim Taehyung’s birthday, I’m sharing ‘Universal Right to Love’.

‘ U n i v e r s a l  R i g h t  T o  L o v e â€™ 

 

Kissing you thru the air when it’s impossible to show that we care,
Imprinting my love in your heart with my gaze focused on your welfare,
Mustering strength and resolve to protect the love we share.

To love you freely, without suppressing the need to embrace,
After suffering from eyes following us everywhere,
Enduring separation when all we want is to breathe the same air,
Hope that brightens my cloudy days because you’re there.
You are my inspiration to dream and to overcome my despair.

​Untold truth our love because their expectations are unfair.
Now we are together, there’s no more fear from their stares.

Gloomy days are gone, our horizon is covered with purple flares.

℠‘Merry Christmas' â„

May we always stay together in the years to come,

Everything that’s dear to us is cherished like our golden bonds.

Resting in your arms forever is the best gift I have received in this world.

 

Realizing this truth took me so long that our future was almost gone,

You are my only precious treasure, everything else is just adorns.

Christmas with you reminds me to be grateful that we are healthy and strong,

Hearing you caroling makes me happy, you’re in peace at home.

 

Respecting our differences, love solidifies to battle future storms,

In the instance that I feel weak your embrace says that I’m not alone.

Seeing myself in your eyes is sweeter that cheesecake with mascarpone.

To see another sunrise, because of you, I’m not afraid anymore.

 

May we always stay together in the years to come.

Amidst all adverse circumstances our commitment steadily grows,

Sealed vows between us, facing life struggles as one is our strongest hold.
