Me and my life

This is a small tale when I abandoned everything to chase a romantic dream I was praying, might change my life for the better. Even if I had no Idea what would make me happy. I looked at friends who seemed happy with their lot and felt picky and ungrateful, because I knew I was ridiculously fortunate and I couldn’t help wondering. I guess I was in a “ what – the – hell – am – I – doing “ crisis. Fighting back cynicism, pessimism and every negative ism in the dictionary. Only desperation made me stand on my ground. I can’t stand girls but I’ve always been independent, from going to the movies and doing anything else by myself. But I was starting to think, there was something wrong with me. I’d had loads of girlfriends, but there was always some vital chemistry missing. Was it too much to ask for a smart, funny and, thus, sexy girl who adored me. I wasn’t looking for Scarlett Johansson look alike, I simply craved the company of someone who would make me think and laugh and feel. The process went something like this : Meet Miss potential ; fall head over heels in lust, love or both. Turn into performing puppy, do anything to render myself adorable and to win points rather than just be me. Struggle to maintain my independence, start to dislike what I have become but by this time it’s too late.



And now what..? I feel like I am at the drama, the tale sounds so melodic yet pathetic.

Dragon Fly


In the bottom of an old pond lived some grubs. They could not understand why none of them came back after crawling up the stems of the lilies to the top of the water. They promised each other that the next one was called to make the upward climb would returned and tell what happened to her.


Soon one of them felt an urgent need to seek the surface. She rested on top of a lily pad and went through a glorious transformation that made her a dragonfly, with beautiful wings. In vain she tried to keep her promise - flying back and forth over the pond. She peered down at her loved ones below.


Then She realized. Even if they could she each other, they would not recognize such a radiant creature as one of their own..

HATI YANG PATAH BERJALAN

Ini hanya kisah pendek, tentang segala yang tak terjadi.
Tak ada yang sedih dan yang indah, semua cuma kenangan sekarang.
Bahkan mesti begitu, deras hatiku tergelincir,
Aku bahkan belum berpaling, ketika seluruh peristiwa berlari.
Stereo itu masih di dekat pintu kamarku,
Satu-satunya yang masih tersisa setelah hati ini, yang selalu menghiburku dengan dendangnya,
Aku merasa ia menatapku, kelaaaaam sekali.

Tapi aku telah mengerti, yag sendiri tak pernah kehilangan,
Sendirian, tanpa cahaya, terdiam sebeku tugu.
Dari kekosongan kutuliskan kata-kata, namun hanya sebuah kalimat yang kubisikkan
HARAPAN TAK AYAL SEBUAH KERAGUAN
