Profound Words

Have you ever been in the situation,
Where you just want to craft something for 'the special',
But you know, you might not gonna be good enough?


Other times, you'll end up having nothing to present to them,
Because of your insecurities of flaws that they might found.
.

.
.
"Write about me", he said happily.
It was a goddamn test, I thought.
Then suddenly, that little friend of mine called What If, came and played her part.


"What If says he might not like it", she said as I listened.
"What If says he might think you're not that good", I started to worried.
"What If says he might not understand", I doubted what I wrote.
"What If says he might think you're an utter bullshit", I stopped writing.


As I stopped, I realized:
I do not know how to break him into words.
All I know is that I want to give him something.


"What If says he might want you to have it the other way", and this time, I think she was right.


Words are precious, once somebody's got to write about you, you'll live forever.
At least as a legacy in their creations.
In other words, if I write about him, I give him life.


But, I want to do it the other way.


I want to give him life, in a way he could never thought of.
I want to give him life, even in tiniest bits of things.
I want to give him life, through the smiles and the tears.
I want to give him life, because he gave me one.


And this,
Is a repay.
Consider this,
As your oxygen.

Fiction

"Life is a complete illusion, so why bother?"
That's what he said to me. Truth is, I was never sure which is real and which is not. Which is the made-believe and which is the real deal. Also, they way he said it, the way he made sure I got what he said, has got me thinking if it's ever be true.


"What is the truth?", I asked.


"It is something that lies within you"
"Only you, knows", he added.


"Then tell me,"
"What am I to you?"









"The truth", he smiled and turned.

I've been thinking

Promises are for cowards.
They promise 'cause they barely can prove without being tied.


But, really,
If promises tied people up,
I'd rather promising than being alone.

What I've Learned These Days

Sometimes, you don't have to stick your nose on people's business.
It's not that you don't care about them,
But it's just not your responsibility, and sometimes,
It's good to know that you don't have to think about everything.
You can't always carry tons of loads with you,
Without sorting down which are yours and which are not.

The other times, you might have to think about
How light life can be,
Sometimes.

I Just Happened to Realize that Most of the Time...

We seek shelter in someone who is wiser than us,
Without knowing that they are the most broken.

Through the Summer

Let me tell you a story about
A playlist
That I made through the summer
About a feeling that once wasn't there
It's about time until it blooms
And there are songs I picked
Representing the bittersweet of love
Through the summer.


Let me tell you a story about
A playlist
That tells another story
About how you and me
Went up and down the stream
Through the summer.


And let me tell you a story about
A playlist
That is as sweet as the artists
As pure as a feeling
As precious as a meaning
Over the nights we had together
Through the summer.


This is the story about
A playlist
Of a summer love
Of a friend
Of us all
A story that lasts
Once you press 'play'


It takes you back to the summer
Where it all began
It takes you to the whole story
From the first track
To the last one I picked


The stories are there
Kept, saved
In a playlist named
Through the Summer.

It Is Starting

These anxiety,
These scars,



Those reeling memories,
Those laughs.



It is starting now,
To be very confusing.

I have to keep telling myself,


That it is okay to lose you any time from now.



Can you imagine, how hard it is? :)

She Said,

"A woman's got to do what she's got to do."

Even if it means she denied herself the truth, 'cause when you're in too deep, you wake up when it's too late, you've fallen in love in the worst way.

As I grow older,
I realize that loving means you are trusting someone to hurt you,
allowing someone to break you,
yet you still let them stay, because you are too afraid to be alone.



and that's okay for you.

Liver by Joey Straynge

there is an abundance
of roses
that circle my body. i go thru
this life with them,
one by one,
drying and it is perhaps because
i care far too much. i suffocate
them with my touch. not
intentionally.
my love
is a bulldozer. my love
is an omen.

My Summary of 2016

2016 to me is like...


A killing machine.



It killed people
destroyed cities
burned rights
took you
away
from 
me.













Damn you, 2016.

I Have Something for You, I Hope You Like It

Apa yang masih engkau simpan
Jauh di dalam duniamu
Aku masih merasakan
Ada sebagian dariku
Terbawa olehmu

Entah itu kau pendam
Atau kau tanam
Berharap tumbuh pohon berbuah manis
Yang kau sebut bukan dariku

Apa yang masih engkau simpan
Di bayang-bayang matamu
Ada sajak yang pernah kutulis
Tapi tidak, katamu itu masa lalu
Yang kau balut dengan waktu

Kau bilang sudah
Ku rasa belum
Kita sama-sama tahu
Kita masih berlari dalam lingkaran
Tanpa ujung, tanpa batas

Apa yang masih engkau simpan
Yang kurasa milikku
Atau pemberianku
Apapun itu
Kau dekap dia dalam duka
Aku menjagamu, selalu.
