I remember the water
How it felt
Upon my skin
And I am thirsty
To drink in each drop
These parched lips
Miss the rivers
Where I could swim
Freedom, ebbing and flowing
At one time, I was a part of the sea
And I covered everything
But these days, my skin cracking
Heart slowly thudding
To stop, my fingertips dust
And I am a whisper
Of the girl I once was

i said it's fine
with eyes pouring out tears
and a heart full of pain
they saw everything was not okay but still i said everything it's fine

they didn't understand why i lied
i did not lie
i said what i had to say
no words were better explanation than "it's fine"

coz it was all written her
whenever i try to keep up with happiness,she always follow me with pain.

don't i deserve happiness?

when did happiness become a crime?

everytime i feel guilty for being happy
coz she make sure
i get caught and cuffed with hurt
and be jailed with depression

i never thought it would be such torture for being happiness

above all, she was fun
more fun than philosophy

i was naive and young
the end I couldn't see

i like traveling trains
and slow go ferry boats

i remember her in dresses
i remember winter coats

even memories fade
silences beyond blue notes

Did you know the reason why the candy I gave you tasted little bit salty?

It contained a few drops of my tears.

I talked
and told them about what bothered me
They did not listen

I shouted
to let the anger out
because I was angry that
They did not listen

I cried
to show them the hurt
They did not care
None of them understood my language because
They never listened

I realised that they never listen
I decided to be silent
My silence bothers them
so now they want to listen
and now ain't the right time to talk

I no longer need them

Kafka Joint
It is sad,
And sometimes it is mad,
When the colour of hope is red.
