A strong woman always has a secret garden. Inside is everything a blind person will never achieve by looking down on her, or even looking past her.

I hope Death is like the sea,
Vast, endless.
So I can float on
Raging waves.
No land in sight,
Just
Magnificent,
Infinite
glory.
And we are
Never afraid.

Spare yourself from all the "what ifs"
Destiny is a psychopath playing with our hearts

the steps I took
to hide myself, in caves
in darkest woods.
Here lies the long forgotten
Wolf.

I'm always afraid
of what the unknown
has to offer
I'm scared
to look too far
into the future
I don't know if I'm ready
or if I'll be good enough
I think I've always felt this way
I've gone through life
going through the motions
not stopping to take a step back
and breathe in reality
Does anyone ever have it figured out?
Change pierces my fickle heart
and it collapses under the pressure
I don't know what's next
I barely know right now
So I'll stay here searching
until my fickle heart
finds peace

You know it's over.
Your shoes have walked away.
Your phone dives
into the pit of despair.
Cigarettes have become healthy.
Your knees don't knock, but clap.
The chipmunks have fallen silent.
All the chameleons are gray.
The cat dismisses you and leaves.
Bullets pass through you like prunes.
Love is a forgotten memory.
Everything transforms into other.
You are a stranger growing
stranger by the day.
Over and out good buddy.
You know it's over.

ketika kaki sudah tidak mampu menapak
rembulan sudah tidak dapat menyapa sang surya
tidak ada yang bisa bertahan selamanya seperti ini
semuanya berubah, tidak seperti sedia kala
dimana hanya ada aku dan kamu--dan juga kenangan

ini secarik puisi untukmu
sebuah kisah yang sebentar lagi akan menemukan jati dirinya
seutas tali yang sekarang tidak lagi menyambung
dan ini adalah perpisahan

selamat tinggal, kamu
selamat tinggal, aku
selamat tinggal, kita.
