The Learner

I have never been to school;
And people call me a fool,
I didn't know how to read and write;
So people call me the dumbest mite. 


They said I'm good in asking food; 
But I never done anything good,
So I asked, how will I know what is good?
If you never teach me how to do good?


They laugh at me and call me crazy;
Then they shout at me to go away,
They don't let me stay even just for a minute;
They pushed me away, until in the ground I hit. 


Then, one day somewhere, I met someone;
She's so kind and a lighthearted one,
She never call me fool, dumb or crazy;
But she call me sweetie, dear or honey. 


She taught me how to read and write;
She taught me what is wrong and right,
The good and bad, the mistakes and correct;
Lie from truth, now I can differentiate. 


Now I can spell my name correctly;
I can count my fingers so clearly,
I can spell the FOOL, DUMB and CRAZY;
And know one person who's good to me. 


Do you know what's the best lesson I learned?
Is that knowledge is the best weapon and shield,
It can be the most cruel and proud armory;
But can be the most gentle and priceless property.

Earthquake

I heard a rolling sound roaring like thunder,
Then a cracking sound but I didn't know where; 
I saw around me, things were like dancing, 
Buildings shaking, and roads were breaking. 

People starts to panic, running everywhere, 
Trying to find a place to hide more safer.
Afraid that ground will open and swallow everything,
Didn't know what to do and where they're going. 

What kind of monster was it that had passed by?
Why did it ruin the land that looking up the sky?
It leaves traces of damages and people are frightened, 
Their hopes and faiths are hanging and lives were changed. 

It's hard to go on and start over again, 
Some lost their loved ones who are treasures for them
Tell me, how to mend not only our broken homeland,
But also broken lives and hearts of innocent ones.

Beautiful Sun

A beautiful thing, that everybody's expecting everyday;
To watch the sunshine smiling and greeting you a "good day!"
And wait for the sunset to tell you that's it for today;
A symbol for another day to look forward to;
A bright future to face, not only me but also you,
A very bright hope that connects to a beautiful tomorrow.

My Angel

A nameless face but I remember,
In my childhood years but still so clear;
In times I'm in trouble he appeared,
And did his best so I was saved.


I never mind of him before,
I didn't even bother talking to him;
I really never talk to any stranger,
I just leave and never ask his name.


He knew me 'coz he called my name,
But when he did I just stared at him;
He smiled at me and ask "are you okay?"
I just nod and turned back to my way.


One day, I tried to find him in school,
Thought we study in the same school;
But I never found him in any room,
And nobody knew him, even in my classroom.


Then I started to wonder how he knew me,
When I'm in trouble, he appeared right away;
I didn't even scream for help of anybody,
But from nowhere, he was there to save me.


Now, I regret why i didn't talk to him,
Didn't try to ask even his name;
Didn't ask how he knew that I need help,
Why he's always there for me & keep me safe.


I want to tell him, how thankful I am,
And sorry because I was so damn;
And blind to see the things he did for me,
I took him for granted and walked away.


I wish to see him again by now,
In his real image with his wings but how?
I want to touch and embrace him truly,
And whisper those words that I want to say.

Perfect Me

I wonder what’s the basis of being the best,
Is it shown on how much you get from the test?
Having a position ranked as the highest?
Or just being true to yourself or being honest.


I wonder how I can be acceptable,
Is it how you mingle and being approachable?
Being too firm or just too flexible,
Or being too frank and vocal to any situation.


I wonder how can I be worth loving for,
Is it seen through your physical feature?
To be like the well-known public figure
Or just the same person you try to procure.

I wonder how to build the real me,
Will I listen to what other people say?
Will I follow what other people want me to be?
Or will I be content of the person I am today?


Then, I realized, I am at my best already,
I am very much acceptable being me,
I am worth to be loved by anybody
Because I am showing my real personality.


They may like or don’t like me,
I still am too proud of what I am today
Not because I have few friends with me,
But because I have the best friends who stand by me.

Invisible Me

I feel so lucky, 'coz many people trust me,
I feel so blessed, 'coz many people rely on me;
They think, I have strong and tough personality,
That they found and got their strength on me.


What they don't realize is I am weak,
They don't see that deep inside, I'm sick;
It's them who are really strong indeed,
That they are the strength that I truly needed. 


I am hurt but I manage to smile,
I laugh when I am about to cry;
I keep going though I want to rest for a while,
I fall many times but again and again I try.


Sometimes, I want to show them the real me,
To let them know the feelings inside of me;
But I decided to be the one that they used to see,
And keep secret the true and invisible me.

Life's Journey

In a chaos world, live peacefully;
In a complicated life, live simply,
In a sick society, have a healthy community;
In a dangerous earth, live safely.

In a difficult journey, there are some easy ways;
In the middle of trouble, lies a hope of peace,
In a bad situations, you'll find a good memories;
In a bitter experience, taste the sweet success.

In the darkness of sorrow, you'll find a torch of happiness;
A cold fear surrounds you, but here comes the heat of braveness,
You fall down and feel weak, but you get up and found strength;
And be tough to face life's challenges with the soft hug of faith.

A valley of ignorance leads to the ocean of knowledge;
In a high cliff of hatred, there's a path called love bridge,
In a land of life, lies the deep holes of death;
So walk safely as you take your journey in earth.

The Last Christmas In Kuwait

Christmas is supposed to be a great celebration,
With a happy hearts and joyful occasion;
Everyone's smiling greeting each and every person,
Wishing a wonderful holiday and best season.

Christmas tress are glamorous and full of decorations,
With colorful and blinking lights that play your visions;
At the top is a star that glows so bright among them all,
And underneath are presents, wrapped so nice and beautiful.

Every home have a grand preparations,
Have lots of foods, games and some presentations;
Everyone have fun celebrating this season,
And all are awake from night until dawn.

But now, I didn't feel this special occasion,
'Coz I'm in a place that people don't have this custom;
No preparations, decorations, no grand celebration,
Just an ordinary day, so I celebrate it alone.


Though I'm feeling sad, but I'm trying to be glad,
I hum Christmas songs to avoid from getting mad;
Trying to think the joyful moments that I had,
And told myself - "celebrating alone is not that bad."

Then, a smile in my lips suddenly appears,
My eyes sparks for joy, though it's holding a tears;
In my mind I see my christmas by next year,
I'll be home to my loved ones and friends so dear.

This poem was written last December 25, 2011, when I was working in Kuwait.

Hopeful Heart

It's unexpected to find the one, that can make you believe,

Every word he said and promised he made, seemed true indeed;

And you feel the sincerity in every word he speak,

So the trust and respect you just easily gave.


He made you smile and contented of your life,

Every dream he shared, you were always a part of it;

So you made a plan of your life and also imparted him,

But unfortunately he just leave you hanging in the end.


Sad but it's okay, you accepted it lightly,

You mend your heart but it's not that easy;

You put a smile on your face and act normally,

With a hope in your heart that someday you will be happy.


Time passed, heartaches mend, life seems okay.

No more pain, no more fake smiles but genuinely happy;

Back to the old you with a smile that can lighten up the day,

And determination that those happy yesterday will come again someday.


You're not hoping that he will come back to you,

But is hoping that you will find that "one" , you know;

The one who is true and will never leave you,

Who will take care of your heart and will protect you.


With the smile in your lips, you face life bravely,

In spite of the hardships and heartaches you've been;

You never gave up but you keep on moving forward,

Standing firm and strong like the brave  lion.

If Only

I'm feeling empty,

I feel so sad,

I feel so heavy;

Claimed my heart,

It's hard to go on,

Coz I'm feeling weak,

Trying to get up;

But so tired to stay up,

I want to burst out;

I'm drowning so deep,

It's hard to breathe,

My heart struggle to beat,

But it keeps on beating,

To keep on living,

To stay on earth,

To evade the death.

Know what I'm feeling?

Hard to explain.

Let go a sigh,

I close my eyes;

Stop my tears,

From falling down;

My heart is asking,

To take a rest,

Just for a day,

Can I stop beating?

If only possible,

To make it real;

To give each organ,

A day to rest,

To stop the feelings,

Absorbing problems;

To stop the brain,

From a deep thinking;

To shut the eyes,

Of seeing things;

To close the ears,

Of hearing bad things;

To stop the mouth,

Of talking nonsense;

And give a break,

To a tired heart,

A day to rest

To cease from beating.

To rest the body,

Of carrying burden so heavy,

And take a total rest,

Even just for a day,

If only.......



I want to scream;

To lighten my burden,

To cry out loud,

All the tears from within;

Put down all loads,

And empty my heart;

And lie in cotton soft bed,

And enjoy my rest.

If only.....
