I'm tired...

                            

It's Just a Phase

Sometime, you walk through life happily
You look at days as summer breeze
At other time, you couldn't bare its challenges
And at night time, you cry

You know deep inside you deserve more
Keep asking to yourself
"What I've done wrong?"
But you don't realise the changes from the past
No no, you forgot that

What goes up will come down
That's the cycle in our lives
Just keep walking and you'll find
The answer you seek

What goes down will come back up
That's the cycle in our lives
And after a while you'll see that
It's just a phase

A Brief Pause

This cloud of uncertainty is beginning to make me doubtful
Of all the hopes and dreams, of the entire castle we’ve built
They say what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger
What happens then to an unfinished process?

I really have traveled much too far indeed
But all directions have been guided by a strong instinct
Standing strong as a solitary adult in this controlled life,
Could I have been wrong all these time?

I’ve taken my leap of faith,
I’ve put all of my cards on the table right from the very beginning
Wishing that you would do the same
So here I am, standing, breathing, waiting.

Rhyme Play

I can’t hide,

Can’t lie

I can’t keep you on a stream

That’s going by

I can’t hold

‘cause I’m bold

Can’t take something that’s not mine

That’s what I’m told

See my pain?

It’s on the reign

I’m waiting for it to wash away

Maybe in a Rain

So let’s smile

Just for a while

Our lines have crossed, and I will

Tell our tales in the

Nile

Continuing the Tradition

Can you be so sure of anything in this life?

.

The season changes continuously, and here in Sydney the constant shifting of the weather is not of unfamiliarity to most residents. We expect snow in summer, and gratefully embraced hot sun in winter. Humans tend to take anything and everything for granted, a trait that is too hard to kill especially with current hi-tech supported living, where things are demanded bigger, better, and quicker.

.

Tragically, when one of the most valuable treasures that was found in this world vanishes, we quickly grew some liking to other nicer, fancier distractions. Whatever happened with treasuring the old, memorable gems? How is it that life can be so shallow?

.

Being a conservative person that I am, one tends to hold on tight to one’s most precious gifts that life has delivered. Yet at times I can’t seem to be able to distinguish the gifts that will endure for a season or a lifetime. Is it wrong to wish that good things are to last in this life? Would it be considered a sin to attempt to preserve a life’s treasure even when it will be on the other’s expense?

.

The wise will know that the only constant thing in this world is change.

.

I think I will walk with my eyes shut and pretend that I am a fool.

Greed of the Society

Bigger.

Better.

More.

and More. and More. and More ...

.

In a society filled with greed of the insatiable wants, how can one learn the simplicity of just enough?

.

The city is not-so-big, but the minds are all brainwashed with a big-ness so over-valued with constant hammering of walls painted with glimmering promotions that, supposedly, represents what the observators need.

.

Yet with this obvious trickery to subject the so called independent intelligence, how can the developed minds obliged to the weak instructions so blindedly? Is it really that hard to just say "thanks, but no thanks" ?

.

True, the economy keeps the world going and growing. But when the account balances are getting higher and the corner offices are being inhabited, has anyone ever attempted to stop, just be for a while as human beings, and reflect on the growth of our spirituality and morality?

.

How can cruelties and tyrranical forces be justified only with mere numbers on your pocket? Have us humans really not learn from history? Is it possible to repeat the same inhumane acts just because we're oh-so-human?

.

I heard from somewhere that humans are the only species of God's creations that would kill others that belong to the same species. Are we really that demeaning from the animals? Yet how can we still endeavour to call it our animal behaviours?

.

What is acceptable and what is not in this Society?

What's your view on our current society's state, whether it's economically, spiritually or morally?

Indo discussion I : pacarku... pacarmu...

Pacar, oh pacar...

.

Satu kata yang seringkali mendefinisikan isi kehidupan seseorang. Kalo si A udah ada pacar, keluarganya pasti ngomongin soal pernikahan. Kalo si B masih jomblo, pasti perjodohan selalu dibicarakan dan ditawarkan.. Malah seringkali si single friend diliat dengan sedih hati, seolah dia sedih dengan keberadaannya yang sendiri...

.

Do partner really defines who you are?

.

Selain temen buat curhat, jalan bareng, manja2 in dan di manja2 in, apa sih yang membuat kamu mencari 'pacar'? Also, apa yang kamu bener2 cari dari calon pasangan hidup kamu? What can you tolerate and what can you not?

Vanity

What do you have to offer?

So much demands, countless contemplations

Wanting so much out of me

Where in fact you can’t give much yourself

 


Material things, stupid and shallow objectives

I’m not made up of magazines

I have books and dictionaries enough to fill a library

Consolidating and enriching my tiny brains

 


I’m not sure where you got the idea from

But this life is not all about the superficial

I’m worth more than that, I’m proud to say I’m real

Not waiting to be fed, not wasting time staying around

 


Can’t you see that there’s more to life?

Unbelieving your artificial state, here I am left in ponder

You waste your time for the unthinkable

Wasting time, wasting dime, wasting life

 


Why bother existing when you’re not living?

Why bother displaying when you’re not representing?

All of your inappropriateness is making me sick to the stomach

If you can’t use your life, then give it to someone else

 

JK

Drown Me

Love me

Seduce me

Tease me

Overwhelm me

The way you used to own me

 

Caress me

Embrace me

Take me to another world

The way you used to fantasise me

 

I need your love

I need your loving

I want to escape to another world

That I used to go to when I’m lost

 

Drown me in your land

Don’t escape me when I try

Chain me to your heart

Switch off the starry skies

So that I won’t find my way home

 

My world is a waste

I tried my best to please her

I jumped, I soared, I crossed many oceans

Like a passing deaf sound she overlooked my attempts

 

So take me

Hide me

Own me

Own me

My life is mine and now I give it to you

If you would only drown me

 

 

Can't Say I Can

What if I can’t be what you want me to be

Am I to blame for being who I meant to be?

What if all your hopes and dreams are lies

Would you finally realize what’s real?

 

What if time is an illusion of hope

And what’s left are abandonment and failures

Would you learn to rely on yourself this time?

Or would I be to blame for all that’s left

 

Is it wrong to open your eyes to the reality

And reach for the dreams that are approachable

Is it sinful to destroy your blind faith

And finally reveal what’s inside of me?

 

Why can’t happiness be genuine

Free from all distractful superficials?

What I feel are real, there’s no made up laughter

Or cries, or smiles, for that matter

 

Will you accept me for who I am

And not for someone you’d dream of?

Will you open up your arms

And embrace a simple, little, ordinary girl.
