Ketika aku merasa cukup....

Aku belum pernah merasa begitu marah seperti saat ini. Sebenarnya bukan hanya kali ini. Sudah berulang kali, tapi aku tahan. Selalu berada pada posisi yang serba salah. Terpojok. Terhina.
Belum pernah aku merasa jatuh begitu dalam ke sebuah jurang tak berdasar. Tak mampu berpegang karena tak ada yang bisa dipegang, selain diriku sendiri. Belum pernah aku merasa membiarkan diriku diinjak-injak dan dihina seenaknya seperti kali ini. Segala sesuatu yang aku lakukan tak pernah cukup. Segala sesuatu yang aku katakan tak cukup baik untuk dipercaya. Diperlakukan seperti manusia kelas dua. Segala canda yang terlontar terasa menusuk dan penuh penghinaan, tapi jika aku tak tertawa, maka aku disebut manusia bodoh dan aneh yang tak punya selera humor.
Sering aku merasa tak sanggup lagi bertahan, tapi bukankah cinta itu tak berpamrih? Tak menuntut perubahan dan menerima apa adanya....? Menerima apa adanya.... tapi jika terus menerus menyakiti, apakah harus tetap diterima? Jika terus menerus terhina, apakah harus tetap diterima?
Aku merasa cukup sudah.... tapi aku juga tak ingin menyudahi semuanya...

Searching for Serenity

I can't wait to get away from this city. I've been living in this busy city for quite a while now. And from time to time, I travel to other cities around this region [and even other region]. But all the cities I've visited was always the big city. Metropolitan. Crowded and merry. Somehow, I feel numb now. Tired of being in the noise and business of the place. I need quiet time. I need to go somewhere with less noise. I'm tired of seeing tall buildings and longing for greenery, mountain, river, rice field, forest and natures. I want to see misty morning when I wake up. I want to feel the fresh and cool air. I want to see the dew drops.

I need serenity. I need inspiration for my soul. Inspiration to be more productive. I need to feed my soul with peace. My soul needs a lift, because it's been so low for too long. I've become too sensitive over some things and insensitive over some other things. I need to fix myself, because more and more people don't understand me. I just need serenity... I need to get rid of all the rage, anger, despair and hatred that lies within me. I need to let them dissolve into the thin air. Maybe... just maybe, a little after that, I will be a way much better person...


Reflection

Look at me...
you may think you see who I really am,
but you never know me
Every day it’s as if I’m playing a part
Now I see, if I wear a mask I can fool the world,
but I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me...
When will my reflection shows who I am inside...

I am now in a world
where I have to hide my heart and what I believe in
But somehow I will show the world
what’s inside my heart and be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me...
Why is my reflection someone I don’t know...
Must I pretend that I’m someone else for all time...
When will my reflection shows who I am inside...


I've been listening to that song [Reflection by Christina Aguilera], not because I like the singer, but because I feel the lyrics is very much reflecting what I feel lately...

Sometimes I looked in the mirror and I don't really recognize my own reflection. It's just a woman stares back at me...
Sometimes she looked happy.
Sometimes she looked sad.
Sometimes she looked excited.
Sometimes she looked depressed
Sometimes she looked joyful.
Sometimes she looked lifeless and empty.
Sometimes she looked desperate.
Sometimes she has traces of tears on her cheeks.
Sometimes she has the brightest smile on.
Sometimes she looked angry.
Sometimes she looked enthusiastic.
Sometimes she looked full of confident and sweet.
Sometimes she looked so low and bitter.
Sometimes she looked contented.
Sometimes she looked lost.
Sometimes she looked beautiful.
Sometimes she looked ugly and beaten.
Sometimes she looked strong.
Sometimes she looked vulnerable and fragile.

And then I started to wonder... What had happened....exactly...
Who is it...? Is it me...?
Most of the time I didn't recognize my reflection now...

I do believe that everybody is perfect in their own ways. Their imperfectness makes them perfect as human. They are perfect because they are not perfect in every way. I do believe that people should not be compared, because everyone is unique and different to one another. How do you compare 2 different and unique things? You can't! And you shouldn't! But however, people are free to have their opinion toward others.

I am perfect in my own ways. I am perfect for the way I am. People can point fingers on me or insult me or spit on me, but that doesn't degrade me as a person, as a human being. I am not defined from what people labeled me. I am defined from what I do best in my life. I don't care if people are being negative on me. I am doing what my heart tells and I am being true to myself.

One day, I will be able to turn all the pointed fingers and let them see... that I am perfect in my own way... that everybody is perfect in their own ways...


[low, lost and bitter]
