I was once a kid

I was once a kid
slurping my ice-cream
and received the scolding for drooling
on the floor, on the table, on the chair
and everywhere

I was once a kid
whose thoughts so desperately
bursting to be heard
only to be sent away from my own herd

I was once a kid
mother where are you
father don't walk away too
your luv, your attention and your understanding
are pillars of my soul
spirit to my goals
my confidence, my tolerence
my compassion for humanity will be unfold

but why am i standing alone in a ball?

I was once a kid
yet I've misunderstood my own

selembar benang

selembar benang panjang
ku lurut-lurut, ku kait-kait
menjadi jala ku buat kelambu
menghalang para serangga

ku buat selimut menghangat tubuh munggil
ku buat langit-langit menjadi peneduh

selembar benang menggantung nyawa ku
selembar benang penyambung hayat ku

aku berfikir

aku berfikir dengan kaki
terinjak-injak bila ilham mendalangi
terkinja-kinja tatkala hati berpinar

aku berkifir dengan kaki
berlari-lari anak mencari erti
jalan hadapan, jalan berlakang
berpusar kemari dan pergi
aku masih berfikir dengan kaki
tak tahu kemana arah membawa pergi
