Tell me if we are going somewhere
Tell me to get myself ready
Tell me if we can be happy
or will I be alone again for eternity

This is really hard
There are days when we have something
and days when we are nothing

And I don't want to dive into an ocean
and drown with no one to save me
Because what I'm seeing right now is a sea.
Vast, deep, vague, and scary.
And I'm not even quite sure
If I'm ready to swim about the sea
Or if the sea is ready to have me

And I got lots of questions in my mind
How is it that people get into relationships quickly
When I, I drown in a deep sea of thoughts
and non-stop wonders flood me
Every night I ask myself,
Am I ready to take the risk?

Because to be honest
I'm not a risk-taker girl
every day I act strong
and ever night I fear my own thoughts

Never have I had the courage
Of making dreams a reality
Never have I had the courage
Of keeping your smile on my mind

Because I'm scared
that one day I might treasure that smile
and when that day comes,
that smile is no longer for me anymore

I'm scared
that once I learned how to swim that waters,
the sea I once looked at with wonder
Is not for me to swim anymore

So instead of taking risks and being scared
I'm gonna open my eyes and watch all the good things
and see all the bad things alongside them.
I'm gonna open my hands
To catch all rains of happiness
And finally, accept the frosts of sadness.
This is a poem I wrote back when I was still in college. I can't remember what this was for, yet somehow the feelings I had when I wrote this still lingers.
