20/F/Jakarta A girl who's attached to the sky yet bound by the earth / Follow my personal instagram : @xantherself / or my Art instagram : @foxglova
It's how the moon injects colors into me, into my old dying mind Its blue, red, and green in my plasma they sail and travel through my veins Remarkable stars, they send my lost soul home Home, that is my mortal frame, home that is bound to earth And so sound I laid That I can finally get a grip Sometimes the cloud comes too Their cotton-like apparition soft to the touch, overly-sensitive, and inhumanly empathetic, pouring down a rain For it cried So I don't have to cry alone The night sky helps, by wrapping me within its blanket of darkness, lulling me to sleep to the song of the wolves, blowing winds that rock the greens ever so gentle, and therefore I know, when light has gone, and the night has come, I'm alive once more

Poem of The Night
Wander alone, for once Wander about, on this earth you don't quite understand Take a nap on the sea, for once feel the cold water being warmed by the sun Sleep by the banyan tree, for once watch as the snake slither under your feet By then you'll hear whispers; someone else inside you Yourself, but not you, saying things you dare not speak Of pronanities, maybe or of sorrow your deepest wish, perhaps of not waking up the next morning So wander alone, for once

Wandering Soul
I was lost but I've been found by wisps that is in these tiny things called pills I was crashed and I've been trashed but I was fixed by a thing called fluvoxamine

I'm Found
White, the lightning burns and blinding nothing heard but cries of regretful souls longing to go back in time just to undo each and every crime painfully, they howl as they try to crawl out of the underworld Red, the flesh of sinful sinners when they clash onto each other and many wished, can only wish, to live again but there is no bargain in this world of pain Black, the days the burning frames the rotten wraiths No signs of mercy for those with no faith Longing for tomorrow where there'll be no sorrow but this is the inferno the place of eternal woe

Colors of Inferno
I was never born to be a hero and to you, or by you, I'm not obliged Cause I've no healing power bestowed, no superman strength nor laser eyes In fact, my bones are twigs, my flesh jelly My mind's been rigged, I need no more burden to carry And I've fulfilled no expectations of yours I'm not even trying to anymore Cause I am not here to save the day So keep your wrathful sorrow to yourself

Selfish Me
As the lights went dim I found myself adrift into an altered reality And that's about the furthest I can get, away from this harsh substantiality

At last, I feel at ease Alas, There goes the leash I am far too young to be bound, far too old to stay around Clueless of what there'll be outside, I might as well feel lonely I need no freedom For in this cage, I am free And at last, I feel at ease

Depressed Bird's Chirp
The truth is what once was yellow brick road is now red from blood blotched by dirt and partly covered in moss I see no purpose nor hope in following this particular road that leads me back to a place so called 'home' It's rather unpromising and untempting unwelcoming even And it makes me think; At the end of the road, will I be left to rot by the people who once swore that I will be loved but would leave me standing forsaken and starving like they used to do And so I'd rather stay in Oz Then to follow the 'yellow brick road' To get to a place where I were to be ignored

Yellow Brick Road
If I were to say about my day There need only three words And three words only Such an outburst of profanity, but they keep me away from insanity So if you ask me "How was your day?", there'd only be three words for me to say; Holy     Moly         Guacamole :D

How's Your Day?
The man's Mr. Rogers by God he had been sent to fly And now, he is on his seventh's sky Sometimes he misses life, his two kids and his wife, also the earth where he once thrived But alone he must go on this sea of galaxies he must row and although he feels no sorrow he fears being lonely So he sings a tune familiar to all This time no red sweater nor piano not even children singing along for he is alone in the cosmos heading to the bliss where he belongs
