THE BACKSTAGE
there's so much going on
unspoken in the back
of the mind

Think Again

Kadang, kita terlalu berusaha menjadi sempurna
Berusaha menjadi apa yang diharapkan,
memberi apa yang diinginkan,
menjadi jawaban apa yang diminta

Sayangnya, kita kemudian kecewa ketika kerja keras kita sia-sia
Apa yang kita pikir sudah yang terbaik ternyata belum cukup baik
Dan selalu, tidak akan pernah cukup..

Selalu merasa salah
Selalu merasa kalah

Yah.. pada akhirnya kita akan selalu lelah

Tapi kita nggak bisa menyalahkan siapa-siapa
Karena mata kita bukan mata mereka

Apa yang dilihat tentu saja akan berbeda
Mungkin saja saya melihat biru dan kamu melihat merah
Di sisi lain ada orang yang melihatnya ungu karena ia berada di tengah

Sekarang tergantung darimana kita melihatnya,
apakah itu kekurangan atau keunikan
apakah itu perubahan atau kepalsuan

The Oddity of Me

Honestly, I never know how broken I am till fairly recently. Apparently, I am more than just completely broken. Torn, hurt and full of negativity, I have grown such a bad attitude that annoyed so many people, especially him. Occupied with tons of questions in my mind, I began to develop an idea of what might be the reason I acted like a child that resulted in the title of this posting.

Yes, I found out, I have this oddity inside of me, in which I have numerous contrasting characters residing in my body. I can be very childish, yet mature. I can be very strong, but at the same time very weak. I can feel so pumped and energized while I also feel discouraged. To say I have multiple personality might be too farfetched, although this thesis is somehow going there.


Okay, now I am confused. Perhaps everyone is. I realized previously that I somehow show bipolar disorder syndrome, but I don’t think so anymore. The overlaying background is actually that I am independent in nature. I worked very hard to be where I am now. I experienced a lot of things to be knowledgeable.  But, when it comes to guys, I just lost my rationality. I become very emotional, if I can’t call it irrational. I suddenly become so weak and lame, I dare to sacrifice everything I have to just one person. This has been going on for so long, I suppose.


The strong me, the independent me, swiftly changes into someone she barely knew, a very different person that can be easily persuaded, but most importantly drown into feelings, and feelings only. Not a good sign, though.


What can you say? That’s my weakness. It is similar to what happened to Samson anyway, when he met Delilah. He just couldn’t stand her, in a positive way. He fell for her. That occurred to me too. Whenever I found someone I love badly, I think of nothing but him. Until today, I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing.
With the devastation that came along, of course it’s not a good thing. Yet somehow it shows how devoted I am to someone, how sincere, and how deep the love I have for the special man. Oh, I wish he would notice.
So, I don’t even know whether I should stay single or should I be with men, since they are “dangerous” to me. Another confusion.


Honestly, all I ever want was to be understood, to be accepted for who I am. Don’t ever ask me if he did that, though, because I am not certain.

Ayo ratih,semangat dong.

It's easy to see what's other people great at than to see mine..it's just like when it's easy to see other's back, than to see my own back..other people's back look so big,strong,and unreachable.. but the other people think the same too..they see my back is as big and strong..it's harder to see our own back than to see other's..it's the same as we hardly see our own talents,or maybe something we can be proud of..we always see people's back so we always think that he/she is so cool with her/his talent,he can do anything,and he's so great..it's hard to be grateful..but dont worry, every person is blessed with talents and skills.. And maybe our time is not now,but later,maybe tomorrow,next week,and so on,until we can found something we can be proud of..enjoy our life..why spending time just to see other people's back? just try to train your own back,your muscle,and people will see that your back is strong and great..haha

Lari, lagi.

Benak tersentak, menyadari usia tidak lagi muda. Bayangan para kawan lama mengitarinya. Mereka sudah berlari cepat, berpencar arah menuju pintu masing-masing, meninggalkan warna sendiri yang sebelumnya tidak tampak mata.

Rasanya dia juga bukan hanya berdiri saja. Ia juga melangkah, hanya saja tidak dengan akselerasi yang sama. Ia melangkah, tapi berencana. Ia banyak melangkah, tapi berencana lebih banyak. Akibatnya, ia pun banyak berhenti juga dan besarlah jarak antara mereka.

Seketika ia merasa bodoh karena salah perhitungan. Ternyata ketika di kepala sedang berputar adegan masa depan, kaki ini baru beranjak sekitar satu jengkalan. Kebanyakan membayangkan berakibat tenaga keburu terengah, energi pun sudah mulai habis setengah. Lelah. Padahal, masih ratusan tapak menunggu jauh di sana, tapi masa juga berubah tanpa jeda.

Aduh, harus bagaimana?

Panik merasuk, membuatnya buta. Ia merasa percuma. Ia merasa..... gagal yang nyata.


"Sudah." begitu kata seorang yang menjadi tumpuan keluhnya. "Sabar. Tunggu saja waktunya. Sekarang memang belum saja."

Lelah, baiklah ia pun berhenti sejenak, mengistirahatkan diri meluruskan akal. Perlahan, dibukalah kembali kotak pikiran. Ia coba pisahkan, mana yang mimpi dan mana yang terpercik karena rasa iri.

Sabar. Ia meyakinkan jiwanya yang sempat pudar. Mungkin bukan sekarang saatnya ia berpendar.

Sesaat setelah ini, pasti ia akan berlari. Lagi.

I miss the old me

Who don't know that much, so i could do things sincerely without any unnecessary thoughts
Who can smile easily, out of my heart
Who didn't expect to much on people, but put all her hope in God alone
Who saw all she got, rather than what she didn't
Who just follow her heart in doing things, and get more than what she expected
Who can humbly do what she can do
Who has brought me here. As I am right now

Semesta bicara tanpa bersuara
Semesta ia kadang buta aksara
Sepi itu indah, percayalah
Membisu itu anugerah
Seperti hadirmu di kala gempa
Jujur dan tanpa bersandiwara
Teduhnya seperti hujan di mimpi
Berdua kita berlari
Semesta bergulir tak kenal arah
Seperti langkah-langkah menuju kaki langit
Seperti genangan akankah bertahan
Atau perlahan menjadi lautan
Seperti hadirmu di kala gempa
Jujur dan tanpa bersandiwara
Teduhnya seperti hujan di mimpi
Berdua kita berlari
