pada penyeberangan

Malam itu aku berdiri menghadap penyeberangan. Aku melihat ke depan dan menatap orang-orang yang di seberang. Mereka melakukan hal yang sama. Mereka semua menunggu. Menunggu hingga angka-angka warna merah itu menunjukkan bilangan 0.

bukan tempat tujuan,
namun sekedar tempat bersinggah
bukan tempat yang dituju,
namun sekedar tempat menuju

menunggu terasa lama, melewati terasa singkat.
menunggu terasa lama, merasa pun tidak sempat.

semua lalu-lalang
ke dua arah yang berbeda
akankah aku terdorong ke arah yang berbeda
atau bisakah aku sampai di tujuan dengan selamat?

aku ingin pulang,
aku ingin pulang,
kaki ini ingin melangkah,
tetapi aku tak sampai,
mungkin belum saatnya aku sampai,

You live in a world where it's much simpler to ignore your thoughts and feelings for the sake of your emotional stability. Or so you thought. But just so you know. It...

connection

distance stay away for instance keeping myself in my radius leading life so tedious i'm confident being independent people tell me to feel otherwise fitting in is a lame investment definitely the path for the unwise on a rainy day she's awake sleepy eyes glued on screen excited another day she spent awake they say another day alienated oh dear that one sentence grabbed all her attention the word she's been yearning all year while longing for companion In fact,  what she needed  was not less social connection,  but connection  that felt more meaningful.
