Tough Cookie

Being seen 
With poker face
Mistaken 
As who does not give a damn

Cool and distant
Unfriendly aura
On the way
With people's stares and whispers
That she is a bad person

That is funny
Why judge
They do not know about her
Alone her name

Little they know
About the experiences and traumas
Mould her this way
No strength to make facial expression
With little energy 
Left in her

Only use
This remaining will of hers
To live and face on

It is precious thing
She will keep at all costs
With friends she trusts
And faith she holds to believe

Those who love her
A rare privilege
Seeing her real self
Wild mind
Innocently gives love back
More than she does to herself

Because she feels safe
Knowing there is nothing
That will bring her down

Grey

Making a decision
A step forward

Saying yes or no
Weighing the pros and cons

Knowing the best
What it suits me

Being clear
Of the sacrifices and adjustment
In order to be there

Voices of opinions
Around you 
In your ears

Sometimes overwhelming
Away from your conscious
What your heart really wants

The gut feeling
Screaming inside you

Paranoid
With what ifs

Making mistakes
Causing regrets
Boiling anger
Self destruct

Clouding your mind
Losing your way 

Almost forgetting
That you are the person
Facing this situation

Not all things
Not all reasons
Not all depth
They know about

Their words
Just guidance
Giving exposure and closure

Not the determinat
Of your life you living
You know the rules
Set sail

Streak it
Till that big break comes
Glorious

Mimosa Pudica

Watching 
People speaking to each other
So effortlessly confident
Words flow
At their first meet

Curling my knuckles
Under my face
Feeling with envy
Sometimes with anger

Secretly hating 
Not them
The people from my past
Who made my heart and mind 
This way

Just not enough
For myself to move on
How far I go
Pulling me back to zero

Building up
And destroying at the same time
From the triggers and experience
That embedded in me

Hiding back to my inner shell
Everytime my heart hits hard
Regardless the intention

Afraid to be broken
Leaving me no hope
To rebuild myself again

Still making myself think
Back in my mind 
It is over
The things I used to see
All gone and no longer there

At least 
The humble truth
Close to my soul
Able to step one forward
Own time and space

The past is behind me
Where I do not face it anymore
Now I see
Same but different
Little but better

With that
Regaining myself
Once again
The best

Bounce

We have dreams
Filling our hearts with passion
Making us alive
Blood pumping solid

Wanna get there
To make it true
Making us fulfillingly happy

Do whatever we can
Day and night
Every second 
Trying and failing
Flipping and crying

Being mocked
By naysayers
Confused to which one
To listen and have guide

When overwhelmed
Step back
And breathe

We have only ourselves
To win and learn
Gut feeling is our guide

Awareness is the telescope
To our resources
Under our noses

Heart will be the mighty pen
That write out 
The destiny 
We will belong

Don't worry 
How it takes
How much it takes
Don't focus on
What ifs, could haves and should haves

That will be wasting time and energy
Fail before trying
That is a big no no

Mindset 
Of whatever life gives us
Any kind of situations we are in

As we do it
Even our life ends
We can proudly say
We did whatever we could
We did have fun
We did feel happy

It is all or nothing at all...

Konmari My Life

Oh gosh
In a maze 
Mess over here
Mess over there

Everywhere
Like zombie apocalypse 
Coming to get me

Gonna plan 
My action of attack
With plastic bags and boxes
As their coffins

Ain't compromise
Nope
Ain't shedding a tear
Coz this will set me free
Opening up the horizon 

Opportunities
Fresh ideas
Productive lifestyle 
Making me 
Oh My Gosh

Blaming my lazy behind
Thinking 
I will need this and that
Reasoning illogically

Been nagged
Till my ears about to fall off
And my eyes shaking up 
Long for days, months and years

Gonna bust 
Their territory
Making my headquarters 
Armed with discipline 
Not making this happen again

Throw stuff
Like Michael Jordan
Banana kick like Cristiano Ronaldo
Swift myself like Usain Bolt

Then finale myself
Holding cape
Clearing the mess
Saying "Ole!"
Bull eye!

Barefoot

Make it to home
Pushing last strength left
Removing shoes
Head forward
Being first to the finish line

Flush cheeks
Wandering mind
Sense of relief
Being safe
Dropping everything

Dive into comfy clothes
Brew tea
Double cups
To keep warmth
After cold air outside

Slowly sipping
Melting memories today
Forgotten and done
No longer bother me

Acknowledgement to myself
Trying my best
Failures are my opportunity
To be aware 
Better next time

Letting my hurts be free
Not be drown in
Be human
What a luxury
In a world of facade

Why hide 
I told myself
Laying my weary body down
Tears down my cheeks

Questioning myself
How long 
I can really hold on

Till I am free to be myself
Unflitered
Unapologetically

Vulnerable

Wandering 
What it feels like
A man set his eyes on a woman

Knowing all the flaws
The emotional scars 
The courage in her to show

Yet he still love every inch of her
Getting close
Slowly showering kisses on her skin
She is a goddess to him

Enveloping arm around her waist
Another brushing her hair
Out of her ears

Whispering
"You are the most beautiful woman I ever seen"
That set her tears running
Something she finally hears
After so long

She able to feel 
The happiness
Growing in her heart
Shining and warm

Seeing her face
Tearing up
Wiping her tears away
Biting his lip
Cannot believe
The treasure he has found
In his grasp

Smiling across her face
Feeling safe
In his embrace
Tracing his lips
With her finger

His lashes lowered
Kissing her lips
Deep and passionate
Closing her body with his

Making her senseless
Ignoring the world
Enjoying this private time 
With her knights

Being one
Hearts beating together
The feels
Of skin contact

Tears running down their faces
Completing each other
The happiest in the world

Stone Sparks

Years ago
I knew
What I want to do

Being excited
Energized by the dream 
Fun adventure

Just the mistake 
I made
Giving up
Before it started

Mind
Full of non existent excuses
Thoughts of failing
Dream too big
To make it happen

I regret that mistake...
That years gone by
Being in circles
Facing the endless pain

What I want is there
In front of me
Why I give a miss?

Now I am here
Little wiser and calmer
Looking at the same picture
Once I have been given 
Again, long ago

Still I have time
It is not over
I am still here

Being in my own world
Looking still
Reflecting my actions
That cause me to this state

Now knowing better
Regardless whether 
Getting a shot in this 
Learn to have fun
Making exploration
Meaningful and productive at least

One at a time
Put in more than 100 percent
Do whatever the necessary

Rest if need to
Do not stop
A bit goes a long way

Keep my passion 
Like a secret
Burning bright in my soul
That keeps me alive

Let actions speaks 
Continue to put out there
Will there be smoke
Again and again
Soon there will be fire
That makes my presence sparks
More than I was before...

Polaroid

We have friends
Close with
Still communicating

Thinking they are forever there
In the moments to come
Talking about random things
Going deep in our souls

Doing everything
Being there
For each other
Hopefully for a lifetime

The thing is
There is no control
For all of them to stay
Being initiative
To understand
To look at the same picture

Sad reality check
We may have been prioritized
Saved as favourites and not
What vulgar words to state
For friendship

They look kind
But their actions say otherwise
Stabbing us
Asking us whether we are ok

We wanna so hard
To give reasons of the doubt
They will change
Just a phase

But what is allowed
Will be continue
Snowball till it is too much for us
Being taken advantaged

Sucking up dry
Ending up 
Like a floormat
To be stepped on

Do not try anymore
Let go
Walk away
Leave some places
For someone
Who are worth to be called

A friend...

Unfeel

No matter 
How much you want me
Letting out your hand 
Towards me

Looking at it
Something like
My mother always tell me
When I was a kid

Dont take it from strangers

Funny thing
You are not
I like you

Yet you are foreign 
Not in my eyes
But my heart

I cannot feel anything
About you

Afraid 
I burn myself
With my hand lands on yours

I dont feel safe
No comfort will come out of it

No love
Filling with unlimited amount
Of anger

Knowing 
Falling in love with you
Sinful thing to do

I better walk away
To where I can be safe
