Once upon a Facebook status

Shelomita Savitri

is thinking, about life, about people, about the passengers she was with in the angkot this morning. What are their stories? How do they have fun? What can make them cry? I know i haven't been the best of person, but God knows i've tried. I shed tears sometimes, i laugh a little bit at times, and all that stirs up with the rest of the world and i become insignificant yet significant.5 hours ago clear

People (and God) in my mind 3

- GOD: Without me, there won’t be earth, beautiful babies, and that delicious cake you’re eating right now

- Me: You mean, without you there won’t be natural disasters, human sufferings, and a stinky job i have to withstand every single day to pay for this cake?

- GOD: Well if you put it that way…

People in my mind 2

Me: Why am i lonely?

Friend: Because you hurt the people you love most

Me: I do???

Street vendor: Yes you do.

Me: …..

Rindu

Ketika kau membeku dilumat keabadian

Semua arti larut jadi tiada

Dan aku harus belajar untuk memahami lagi

Karena biruku jadi birunya si buta yang bisa melihat lagi

Dan warnanya tak sama dengan yang nyata di mimpinya

Belum habis murka yang kuutarakan padamu

Belum tuntas maksud yang kucobakan kau mengerti

Belum puas angkuh yang kutunjukkan untuk membuatmu jauh

Dan seperti kabut pagi yang mengganggu

Kau luntur tiba-tiba

Meninggalkanku diam kehilangan kata-kata

Aku tidak sering menangisimu

Dan ketika tangisku merebak

Aku sering tak tahu apa maknanya

Dan kenapa

Apakah aku mencintaimu

Atau aku kehilanganmu

Lalu apa artinya

Apa yang harus kuresapi

Hadirmu jarang kumaknai

Jarang kusyukuri

Hanya kumaklumi

Kini kutahu banyak yang kulewati

Harusnya tak kubiarkan ragu dan benci menggerogotiku

Harusnya kumengerti

Hingga aku kini bisa meratapimu sepenuh hati

Aku tak pernah mengerti siapa dirimu

Akhirnya akupun tak akan bisa mengerti

Kau, aku dan hidup akan tetap jadi misteri

Mungkin memang harusnya aku tak melulu bertanya

Dan hidupku denganmu dijalani dan dimaknai sebisanya

Aku bersalah

Dan kini aku merindukanmu

Juga tanda-tanda cintamu yang terserak

Kungin membuat ingatan tentangmu bisu

Karena rinduku tidak haru biru

Tak terpetakan

Mengerikan

Kucari baumu di semua ruang tanpa bertanya kenapa

Ku tumpuk dan kulipat rapi semua kata-kata cintaku yang tak sempat kusampaikan

Bukan untuk kuberi tujuan

Hanya untuk kusimpan

Dan bahkan tak sering kupandangi

Aku mencintaimu

Kini setelah tak ada tangan yang bisa kugenggam

Tak ada mata yang bisa kutatap

Setelah tak ada keberangkatan yang harus dikejar

Aku sungguh-sungguh mencintaimu

People in my mind 1

Me : Have you got the result
Doctor?

Doctor : *nods*

Me : So what is it ?
Advance
paranoia ? Schizophrenia ? A case of terminal madness???

Doctor : I’m afraid it’s the worst
one….

Me : Oh no…. God no… Don’t
tell me that it’s……

Doctor : I’m terribly sorry.

Me : Please… not that one…
anything but that….

Doctor : Miss, you’re a hopeless
romantic….

Me : NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Why God?!!
WHY???!!!!

But

In better days

Where the sun is shining a bit brighter

And everything good seems possible

I close my eyes

I shut my ears

And forget all doubts and fear

To think that in the slightest chance

As well as I to you

You might also

*chuckle*

Imagine my smile on mid air

Seek my face amongst random pictures

Ponder when you heard my name mentioned

Even if the rain starts pouring down

And my favorite shoes are soaked in a puddle of mud

I start to glow

Boundaries

Seems like too hard to come by

So far a distance to cross

Too many people to reason

The sneers, the talks, the heart breaking whispers

Your reality that bites and occupies like tumor

And the one who adores that outshines all

I am…

A twist of story everyone repulse

A character no one would put on the throne

A crack in their tale of something perfect

Still it all won’t matter

But then I look at my reflection

And I can see I might struggle alone

Am I….

Something that seems appealing in a distant

But when reached

All glory turns to dust

That when the picture isn’t pretty

And the tide is high

You would run away

I once mourned for you for what seems like ages

For the pain you’ve caused me

And the fall and worthlessness you’ve made me feel

Even the thought of going back to that state

Sucks the life out of my soul

And my old wounds start bleeding again…

Drowning

I plunged with a big jump

Carefree and child like

And now I’m drowning in deep water

Drifting in your lingo


You’re telling me but my mind can’t hear

Or maybe my head

Or is it my heart

That is too afraid to translate


I listen harder

Trying to figure

But I’m down here under

And the water is too murky


Is it joy that you feel when we talk

Perhaps you’re simply bewildered and clueless

Or have you hardened your heart to end us


Was there ever even an us

I’m lost dear and shivering cold

Sinking rapidly but I let it

Curled up and washes away all questions

Hoping to be numb forever

It just came to me one day

why are lovers drunk?

To ease the ache of longing

momentum

And then there’s silence

would i be happy
would it be agony

i want to cherish life
puff my eyes with a shade of rose
blows a song amongst passers by
gleam with light for a scent i know
catch a sign and hide it in my treasure box
to blush in a nick of gaze

oh how such beauties take them for granted
to scatter such joy on their pathway

oh how such titans are lonely
to embrace a moon glow that vanishes

in every, there’s a heart
as valiant, as vulnerable

to be crowned is a view far away from my hole
so numb and apart from all pain
that only the brightest light can peek

i could never tell
i would never dare

strays are hurt darlings
beaten by life, mocked by faith
they long for strokes
but used of abandonment

people caress and play and leave
contented of good deeds
proud of the conquer

It sees them passes by
dried tears and heartache
killed would be better than toyed

I want to doodle cloud
to dive in lavender
but i fear of empty meadows
and pity would make me fester

so scoop me off my high shelf
or pull and let me crash
but never leave me dusty and wonder

celebrating me

amongst the colors and the cheers
within the sparks and the senses
i plead to be spared
for what is brought to me is rarely as sweet
and what seems like armor would often crumble
as people battle me for i look fierce

and people flee from me as i felt like ice
while i am not more than naked
while i am none other than hungry
while i am longing nothing than to be reached
and i would be bruised and wounded if you want

26 and one step away from the final frontier

Yep.
That’s me
Closer to 30 than 20
I might as well be dead in some countries with high death rate
And of course, Los Angeles

Los Angeles, city of angels, get it?
If you don’t pass the pencil and boob test you ain’t nobody’s angel, you’re out!

Like a friend once told me through his story when he was in Japan,
he asked a direction for a street to this fine young woman and she answered that he’s in the wrong street,"The street you want to go to is for the young women.", so she said.
She was 23.
See the point here?
teens: loved, voluptuous creatures, perky and happy
23: OLD
26: beyond help

Then again, it’s Japan
They went suicidal a lot there

I passed my 26′th birthday by watching mermaid movies…

Do you know that mermaid is actually an untouchable male fantasy?
Desirable to watch, but deadly when touched.
They’re young beautiful women with breath taking physique that lures the sailors in to their embrace. But if they do, they’re dead since they actually, well, kill and in some cultures, eat those men.
And even if they are the nicest of their kind and have embraced a vegan’s life, they don’t have a vagina to start with.

And that’s when i started to feel better
I’m not an immortal that stays young forever
I’m not beautiful according to Vogue standart
Nor that i have a great career of swimming on the sea and hunting men
But at least i have a vagina
And i don’t have to swap my tongue in order to get one and went tantrum when i can’t by eating men.
I’m blessed!

Pointless actually
