Jjong!
You were right!
Many of us might have had those challenging nights...
when we felt lonely,
when we cried without knowing,
when we found it so darn hard to even breathe,
let alone finding the spirit to fight.

But...
Why am I still here?
And you are not?

Some of my past days were exhausting too!
Some of your past memories must've been worthwhile to cherish also!
There were times when I would get startled...
looking at the reflection behind that thin layer of glass.
Then, I also asked:
"Why do I look so pitiful?"

Yet!
Never have I felt "awkward...
to look into my own eyes in the mirror".

So,
I really shouldn't ask you that question--"Why?"
For I know NOT:
your suffering,
your loneliness,
your bad stories,
nor your haggard image.

You tried your hardest...to hold on.
You had your reasons...to "blink and breathe and live".
And you really did...aim to put forth another day...after struggling days.
Still,
somehow,
you could not find:
an embrace--warm enough to chase off solitude,
a shoulder--strong enough to ease those trepidations,
a smile--loving enough to re-spark the extinguished twinkles in those pretty eyes,
nor...
a gently conversing voice--soft and steady enough to weave consolation into your aching heart,
behind those solemn elevator doors.

So of course, I still would not understand why!
But, I accept... that you had fought with all your might!
Hence, I am glad that, now, you can rest.
Except!
Before you really go,
wouldn't you like to know
how well your Blingers will live?

Therefore, please speak!

Tell them to also do their "hardest...to strive,
to lead a meaningful and compassionate life",
to breathe,
to cry,
and to rise ... above all plights,
to achieve the amazing things like you did--to inspire,
before their precious natural time is up.

Tell them: "Don't hide it! Please don't hide it!"
But show!
Their wounds,
their sorrows,
their weaknesses,
and flaws.

So a stranger's compassionate "hello!"
may pry open those grim elevator door sets
to patch up their wounds,
to sing away their sorrows,
to make strong their weaknesses,
and to accept their flaws.

Yes, before you really go,
remind them of how they are loved,
how life is worth living,
and how much you wish them well
so that they will feel galvanized to live
for their own enjoyment
and for a part of you, too!

LYRICS for Elevator (cr: by Color Coded lyrics)

Be honest, be honest with me
Don't hide it, please don't hide it
As the elevator doors close
I look so pitiful
But still, it's the reason I blink and breathe and live
Is this right for me? Or am I being chased down?

Hello, hello, say hello
Say hello to the haggardly me
Hello, hello, say hello

Be honest, be honest with me
Don't hide it, please don't hide it
Since when did you start crying?
Do you know what kind of face you're making?
You

Hello, hello, say hello
Say hello to the haggardly me
Hello, hello, say hello

I know you know
All the bad stories of the world
But you don't know me
Even though we shared a breath our whole lives
You don't know, don't know

Be honest, you're really lonely
Be honest, you know you can't go on any longer
Since when were you alone?
It's to the point where it's awkward
To look into my own eyes in the mirror
I'm, I'm
