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

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!

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...

Missing Pair

Been one 
For a long time
Never have one

Grown up
Secretly needs one
Not just having it
Opportunity to cherish it
Something special

Despite ignoring it
Bury it deep inside my chest
It gets louder and louder

Every lovebirds come by
I can only dream
Smiling to myself
Imagining that for me

Glancing around
As if it is coming to me
Right now

Foolish me
Just a fantasy
Costly to maintain
Fragile to touch
In this modern world

Wishing time slows down
Actually looking at each other
By the eyes
Intertwining hands 
All sorts of good physical embraces

Not running around
Money collecting
Fit schedules to just make time
See and go

Horrible thing to do
For love
Especially after all 
That waiting
To make it happen

At least they have one
I have none

I can do is to dream
Building my hopes up
Ignoring my fears
That it does not come true for me

Closing my eyes
Swinging my legs
Waiting for the one to show up
Sweeping me 
Off my feet

From a Distance

It is strange and funny
Like a game
Being the odd one 
Among others
Way far from age and stage of life

Within hand's reach
Cannot find a person
Similar to me

In finding dreams
Ways to make it happen
Conversation over 
Same problems
Same understanding

Being there
Giving emotional support
Growing old together
Being in arms and smiles

Wandering
If there is one for me
Will it be too late
Will it be too much for me to handle

Does he want to know me
Finding things he loves about me
Open arms to who I really am

Should I risk it all
With a step forward
To get him notice me

Afraid of embarassment
Not able to make it happen
Awkward and maybe uncomfortable
Afterwards

While losing my mind
If I stand there, do nothing
Letting this opportunity goes by
Making me a fool

Only time will tell
Making my heart
Ready to make a move
Towards my prediction

Wish me luck...

Mistaken

The way your eyes 
Tracing me
From head to toe

Memorizing every detail of me
Mesmerizing the uniqueness
You have ever seen

Smiling warmly
Initiating towards
Shorten distance
Between you and I

I cannot believe
It is happening to me
Used to being invisible
Only from afar
To see such sight

Excites heart of mine
Looking at you
Anticipating your next move

But doubts appear 
In my mind
Of what you see
The thing brings you near

Finding out
That I am far different
From your desires

Not able to balance out
With our differences

What if 
It is a bad mistake?
Putting love on wrong person

It is never love
Just lust with heartbreaking ending
Which should not 
Start at the first place

Walking away
Cannot stand any longer
Knowing
It will break my heart
Wanting to happen
Yet be in safe distance
Not wanting to hurt you

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...

Restart Button

Living this far
The years of trials 
I face

Amazed
With my two feet
Still standing still

Wondering 
How I still be able
To be here, Today

Though 
Wishing
Restarting my life again

To certain time
That days
That very moment
Before it falls apart

Should not have
Think so freely 
That it will be simple
And worked out fine

Should have done
Things 
Preparing for other years
The other me
Later on

Would have
Been happier
Open to fall in love

Striking out 
My adventures
From my bucket list

Making use of time
Creating beautiful things 
For the people around
For the world

That forever hope
That forever happiness

Living my life
Like a speed of light

Coming back
To my senses
Tears in my eyes

Finally have the answer
To my questions
On later years

Appreciating 
Grasping it
This is all I have got

I cannot restart
But I can create one

A brand new page
To the life I seek
With the better me

Time to go
And be on my way

Kissing my past
With goodbye and greatest thanks
