Loss causes grief
One can suffer loss from death
Broken relationships
Divorce
Retrenchment
Grieving is the process after the loss
Done in so many ways
Some are more extreme than others
More verbal whilst some are more silent
It's difficult and different
For each and every soul
Some take longer than others
Whereas some are better at hiding
Don't judge
Don't criticize
Don't say otherwise
Don't compare
Let them heal at their own pace
Let them feel every emotion
Let yourself cry all out
Let yourself go
Grieving
It's ok
Take your time
Build up that facade
It's ok
Live every moment
Cry when you have to
Sing if you feel it's best
Visit that grave if you need to
Pray as much as you can
It's ok
It will be ok
It's really ok
Grieve

I've been with you for more than 10 years
From day one I was just average
I didn't even want to grow
Living one day at a time
But life got really, really hard
I found myself being at a crossroad
To retract a step would mean I lost
But the front was dark and lightless
I decided to move forward still
Really because of my tiny one
And that just changed the course of my life
I was relentless and driven to soar
Years go by with many achievements
Some were so immensely proud I am forever grateful
But that path was filled with tears and breakdowns
Some were seen, most were hidden
I just moved forward without hesitation
But somehow I just can't, just can't anymore
I don't have that glow, not anymore
Really didn't enjoy it, just no more
Hence I decided to give a go
With all my might and prayers to God
May this new path be better
But really there's never a guarantee
I leave you with a very heavy heart
Day in and day out I just persevere
Hope it will go on, filled with success and more
Because really, that is my ultimate goal
It's never really a goodbye
More to see you soon
Never really apart
Just a tiny bit distanced
Thank you
For all and all and just all
For giving me the room to grow
Thank you

You make me feel
Like singing Simply Red's song
Like rolling my eyes
Like smiling out of nowhere
Like smirking in silence
You make me feel
Like endlessly waiting
Like talking out loud
Like wearing my best outfit
Like frowning with small eyes
You make me feel
Like I am always taken care of
Like I can say whatever
Like I will not be judged
Like I will always be loved
You make me feel
Like me
The old me
The new me
Just like me

Who is it?
The one who will make you crumble
The one who will make you feel bad
The one who will bring you down
Who is it?
The one who will make you happy
The one who will make you feel alright
The one who will bring you up
Who is it?
You
It is your ownself
No one else
Just you

Who are you?
Why do you irk me?

When will you ever stop?
Why do you irk me?

Breathless
Out of breath
Heart beating so fast
Permanent frown on the forehead
Gasping for air
Painful eyeballs
Agonizing migraine
Overwhelmed
Please
Overwhelmed

Who would have thought balloons can evoke such emotions
Helium filled colourful balloons
Balloons with notes and kind wishes
Balloons tied together with matching ribbons
I've never received balloons before
Today I received some
One with 'You are fabulous' some more
Who would have thought balloons evoke such deep feelings
Fabulous indeed
I do feel that now

What's your favourite weather?
For me, personally
I love hot, sunny days
Blue sky with puffy, puffy white clouds
Perfect for laundry
For washing up those thick blankies and set of bedsheets
Putting them up to dry and seeing the wind flapping them away
Reminds you of those Enid Blyton stories you used to read when you were smaller
Also perfect for just sitting outside
With a book in hand and cold Coca Cola in the other
A bowl of munchies on the table
Feet up on a stool with the breeze in your hair
Great for going out and about
With your loved ones in toll
May it be shopping or just walking around
Just to enjoy that hot sun in your face
My favourite weather is hot, sunny days
For more reasons than the ones before
What is yours?
Your favourite weather?

Sometimes you make me feel over the moon
Sometimes you make me feel under it all
Why?

I miss you
I miss waking up at 3am
At first to total silence
And slowly I'll hear the sound of you two talking away and drinking hot drinks
I miss you
I miss rushing to start the day
Run to your room and you're at your favourite seat
And I'll salam your hands and kiss your cheeks
I miss you
I miss having to see your name appear on my phone
You will nag about Bapak or my lil lion
And I'll quietly roll my eyes while trying not to laugh out loud
I miss you
I miss rushing home
I'll lie next to you while the TV is blaring
And we'll talk about our days, laughing or crying together
I miss you
I miss being with you
I miss looking after you
I miss you looking after me
I miss you
I really do
I miss you Mom, Momma, Mummy, Mak
