Anger To Thoughts
By Yuu Ishikawa
I used to be mad at myself.
The world was burning.
Flaming.
Red hot.
Bun I thought.
I was still clueless.
In why I was mad at myself.
I would cry.
Scream.
Ignore.
But as I thought, my feeling changed.
I had a mind full of madness.
My heart was in pain.
It hurt.
And yelled.
But as my feeling changed, I was aware.
I became sorry.
For what I had said to myself.
Stupid.
Dumb.
Too childish.
But I stood brave and continued to think.
In the future I'll learn to think before I say.
I will challenge myself to stay brave.
Strong.
Determined.
But most of all, to keep going.

If I Were in Charge of the World
By Yuu Ishikawa
If I were in charge of the world
I'd cancel war,
bullying, and also
girl stuff.
If I were in charge of the world
There'd be more P.E. during school,
pets for every family, and
tennis rackets that you design yourself.
If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn't have pain.
You wouldn't have messy.
You wouldn't have bad luck.
Or "Do your Japanese homework!"
There wouldn't even be such thing as homework.
If I were in charge of the world
Anyone can grow anything in less than 30 seconds.
All things would be equal for people.
Any a person who doesn't care much more than tennis,
And sometimes gets in trouble at home,
Would still be allowed to be
In charge of the world.
ほかにも色々。。
テニスが題材の大半を占めているのも、親心をくすぐる。
私の観察では、Yuuはあまり物事を深く考える性質ではないんだけど、ちょっと見方を変えた方がいいのかな、と思わされる作品集だった。
(まだ心のどこかで、「どの作家の詩を真似したんだろう」と疑ってるわたし)。
