Andai
Irisa Dec 2023
Mungkin saja dunia ini benar-benar membenciku
Andailah aku boleh memilih untuk tidak bertahan
Tetapi tiada jalan selain berjuang
Dec 2023 · 50
Clouded
Irisa Dec 2023
At times, these thoughts become not mine
It is all kind of stuffs of anger, unsatisfied feeling, sadness and excuses
That made simple thing
Way complicated
Far deviated
But though I knew
It consumed my own voice, my very word
Made my language die

Grand
Irisa Dec 2023
Being happy is grand
A poor me can't afford that
Still the heart has its right
To feel whatever there
So when happiness is given
True it won't be long
So appreciate the moment
Before it'll forever gone

The love I know
Irisa Dec 2023
No love is definite cause love is infinite
Not worthy of love you say easily
Not knowing the love God bless you with endlessly
With His mercy, His care, His gentleness
You spoke such words when you don't even know how love is
Love is not a thing of possession
It is a smile of a mother to her child
Laughters with your friends
When your mistakes are forgiven
When you're in need of help, someone gives a hand
Love is... The silence people choose instead of getting mad
So the relationship is not shaken by mere anger
Love is... When you do kindness in secret
not for the feast of the eyes
Love is... Not limited to romantic affection
It is even the smallest gesture
With the sincere feeling in their heart
To show you
Or to act to themselves
This is what we are
A family
Friends
Partners
Lovers
Creatures

People pleaser

Why do we go all out of our way
To please people that doesn't stay

Reality
Irisa Dec 2023
All that I cherish
All that I love
They are my reality
Even losing them is also
My reality

Not good enough
Irisa Dec 2023
I surrender to You in both fear and hope
But fear dominates more
That my hope is fading away
I'm scared to live as much as dying
I feel guilt in happiness
And sometimes I tremble upon joy
I'm jealous of others smile
Though I knew they had their pain too
I feel the worst of myself
I ashamed.... I'm not good nor enough

Irisa Apr 2023
O happiness
where else do you know it reside?
It is there in the past of your present
And could it be the last

Note #06
Irisa Apr 2023
I put all my hopes up before the morning
And I woke up still dreaming
It's possible, it's possible
I chanted
But the the spell wore out
Everything cracks and crumbles
What's left is a wet wound
Dripping blood stains my road back home
What should I do? What would this be?
I stare beyond the stars into the wonder
There is nothing left in my power
Apr 2023 · 48
Note #05
Irisa Apr 2023
Even a messy paint can be an art
When the value shines over its colour
Even in the worst we can make a new start
When you put your hope as a humble believer

All the pieces inside me is screaming
They cry for something...
I'll take forever to give

Dear diary...
Irisa Apr 2023
I hoped he wouldn't notice
If not, it'll be a shame
Had he knew I loss focus
When I turn at him upon hearing his name
Had he knew I froze from awkwardness
When my eyes accidentally got up to his
We are definitely nothing
And I **** all my hopes and expectations
There's not a thing left so please
Stay in the different frame
For at least
I can just look and admire
Just this far and not nearer
Apr 2023 · 43

Irisa Apr 2023
Everyone can be bad
Everyone can be kind
It's only them who choose which
And only they know why

Earthly creature
Irisa Apr 2023
Age and year
Are passing through me
Changing my phases of life
And blend me into reality
Still sometimes, it'd get me isolated
From the road I walk
From the noises around
From the busyness of town
Sometimes I gaze upon the far azure color
An earthly creature
Wondering on the divine
Isn't here I born?
Why did this heart long for the sky?
Nov 2022 · 66
Him
Irisa Nov 2022
Him
Him...
that put sorrow in his eyes
Make it sparkle a bit like glass marble
Heavy eye lids, and wet lashes
His pupils turn deep black
And I was immersed inside
I felt as if we are
At the end of rain where sun slowly
peaking over grey clouds
Those last tiny sprinkles
Refract a faint colourful arch
Our breaths are still misty
Yet we are gradually warmed
Nov 2022 · 38
Anxiety
Irisa Nov 2022
I know very well how happy it is
when getting something
But nothing here is ours to own
I end up being afraid of 'having'
Cause at some point of time
It will be taken back from me
As it has never been mine
Nov 2022 · 35
Note #02
Irisa Nov 2022
Standing out of circle
It's the place that I once thought
Would accept me
But now it seems like they don't want to
I hoped here I could reside and be
Alas, no they say. Oh what should I do?
In the end,
I will be left
in the land that makes poetry inside me

Note #01
Irisa Nov 2022
My clumsy self...
What have you done?
Look at those regrets, all you had made
See how I unable to bear
The weep of the eyes
and pain of the fear

My poor heart...
What had happened?
It's so empty inside
and your light darkened
What had you put in there
that seemed to be taken
Aug 2022 · 167
Regret
Irisa Aug 2022
If ever time could turn back again
Would I not make the same mistake?
Walking through different lane
Could've this heart of mine not ache?

Murky clouds
Irisa Aug 2022
Sky is gloomy
It cries and groans
There are blizzard and storm
Showing to the whole world
its pain and sorrow
The earth wets with its tears
Even the sky...
Let go of what for it too much to endure
Mar 2022 · 219
Fight
Irisa Mar 2022
Success is not final
Failure is not fatal

Rise from where life trampled you over
Defeat, first, not the enemy but your own fear
Dec 2021 · 74
Here and nowhere else
Irisa Dec 2021
Step on the hard ground
Be where you're bound
Where else would you be living
And what's more can you do
Other than in this world where your life is given
And here is where your life is taken back too

A stranger of future
Irisa Dec 2021
I feel that our time had paused
On the moment  we bid farewell
Then we live apart by far distance
And long duration
As the time flies
And the world is turning
Suddenly we reunite
Though in my memory you're still a friend of mine
But you who I meet now
Is a stranger of future
The loneliness tastes even worse when you remember how things used to be and know now it's not gonna be as how it was :'(
Sep 2021 · 358
Past
Irisa Sep 2021
I still taste the past
Lingering in my day
I thought thing that had over wouldn't last
But it still there along the way
Even if I forgot
Its existence wouldn't simply erase
Even if I remember
As a mere memory, only in my mind it stays

Into the night
Irisa Sep 2021
Behold the golden cracks of the dusk clouds
As the sun's falling below the horizon line
And the dark paint of night brushes across the sky
Its layer gets deeper
Until everything turns into a pure blankness
Ought to seek for the moon and stars
All of those that beam
Cause this entity of pitch black wideness
Is beyond my capability to handle
That my eyes alone could not hold its far
Jul 2021 · 224
Dawn
Irisa Jul 2021
When the weight of your own soul feels like too much to bear
In the darkest of night, where the stars shine brighter than ever
And each one will lead you into the dawn

Do Not Quit
Irisa Jun 2021
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the chances are low and the demands are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When all is pressing you down a bit -
Rest if you must, but don't you quit
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint on the clouds of doubt,
And you could never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems far,
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit
Jun 2021 · 77
Limit
Irisa Jun 2021
Matured
Like how ripped fruits is more likely
To be picked
Society's idealism is the maturity in an individual
It has been a standard that we must reach
And is even more favoured if we exceed
However, sometimes, when we push ourselves
Beyond the line
We fall as parts that can not be mend
We pass the line that meant to be our end
May 2021 · 64
Disappeared
Irisa May 2021
Even though I see you
I feel far apart
I tried to reach you
But all I grasp is a piece of my broken heart
Is that really you
Or just my hope is too high?
Are you gone...
Or never there in front of my eyes?

Cycle of the clock
Irisa May 2021
The future that disguised in recent-like moment
and it swiftly turns into past
Time feels slow
but unknowingly fast
May 2021 · 64
Sacrifice
Irisa May 2021
A decision I made
But it is not solely mine
And the future awaits
for that route I trudge
Then, it is only the matter of time
From that base, what could it becomes?

Starting new journey
Irisa Apr 2021
You got to take your crown off now
Will face a life where you don't know how
You can no longer hold throne
Will set off to the land that is unknown
Apr 2021 · 65
Towards light
Irisa Apr 2021
Look at the ray of sun
It seems like a route, golden one
Apr 2021 · 62
Bad News
Irisa Apr 2021
Though I pushed it away
Though I deny
It's true what they say
Then, I can only cry
Apr 2021 · 230
Priority
Irisa Apr 2021
Letting yourself stay only at the bare minimum
Not having yourself bear the weight of your own expectation
Giving most of you, little by little, piece by piece
After the long run, it seems like you vanish
But actually you spread all over everywhere
Mar 2021 · 103
Real
Irisa Mar 2021
Reality is not the villain
But it is what we always blame
Become real is sure hard
As dream is smooth and easy
That's why the real one last longer
Than the fleeting fantasy
Mar 2021 · 73
It stains
Irisa Mar 2021
Whatever you had done
What you left
There's prints
It becomes your past
That you bear all along your life
Mar 2021 · 308
Learning
Irisa Mar 2021
Mouth is shut, let it be silence and peace
Listen to the voice that will guide us how we speak
The intonation that you imitate for that is
the basic to get the knowledge that we seek
Mar 2021 · 278
Reason
Irisa Mar 2021
If you come to be the reason
Then I will take the excuse
Handling whatever that could happen
For that it is a result I can't refuse
Feb 2021 · 67
Disheartened
Irisa Feb 2021
Still need to pick up this heart
Though it is covered with pain
Stick it back if it falls apart
For tomorrow, I ought to live again
Feb 2021 · 61
Distinct
Irisa Feb 2021
Bravery
For that he has nothing to fear
Courage
That though he is afraid, he still choose to fulfil the responsibility he bear
Feb 2021 · 304
Good failure
Irisa Feb 2021
Failure gives more to experience
That's why with it we grow resilient
Feb 2021 · 356
One
Irisa Feb 2021
One
It's one
And never be two
You never know
It's you
You’re the first and the last who come
To me

It's one
And there is none after
It's always you
Not others
You’re the first and the last would be
For me
Feb 2021 · 205
Breaking point
Irisa Feb 2021
When you silent to agree or argue
When you work but keep fail
When you stand just to fall
When you live but not alive
Feb 2021 · 49
Extinguished
Irisa Feb 2021
Zeal burns like the fire
Then it becomes sparks that floating in the air
I think I can win with my great desire
However it loses against despair
Feb 2021 · 215
Escape
Irisa Feb 2021
Reality hits with " do you really think you can run away in the fleeting moment?"
At least, I escaped even for only a second
Feb 2021 · 71
Run On
Irisa Feb 2021
She ask, " How does it feels to run for a living?"
"Well... It is a breathless feeling"
Then, his explanation continue...
"When you run, you don't actually care about things behind...
The only thing that matter is what's right in front of you...
Normally, it would be the finishing line
But today, it is you."
She thought his world is all fine
Yet those words he utters give her the clue
The worlds of these two start to align
Feb 2021 · 64
Somebody
Irisa Feb 2021
Wishing for somebody who can accept me at my worst
Know I am not perfect but I hope you see worth
Feb 2021 · 74
Optimistic
Irisa Feb 2021
Why do people matter
more about failure
when success is a part of
future as well?
