inthemidstofhardship orginal version DALAMBENCANA

DALAM BENCANA

Mereka pulang ke rumah
waktu subuh hari
dengan pakaian robek basah
menghampiri api tungku
lengan mereka penuh calar
kaki mereka penuh luka
tapi di kening mereka
tidak kelihatan rasa kecewa

Sehari semalaman
mereka mengharungi banjir
berendam antara bangkai ternakan
dan serpihan kulit tumbuhan
kerbau balar si buyung
masih belum ditemui.

Mereka dilahirkan dalam bencana
tidak ada keluhan dan kutukan
kini mereka berjenaka di dapur
sambil menggulung rokok daun.

yay..u make me sick!

some people asked me

why I chose to stay far away from my parents

and how dare they question the love that I have for my family

hey big "L" on forehead!!

I DO love my family

Yes, I choose to stay far away from my hometown, my siblings and most importantly my parents

I have my own reasons...

I used to be the stubborn headed girl

I used to be a rebel

I used to be a pain in the ass

I used to "dislike" (hate is a very strong word) my parents

that's why I choose be like this

living in other people's place

It's like a life lesson or punishment to me

that I create for myself

so that I will learn the value of family

so that I will miss them in every breath that I take

so that I will be eager driving back for 5 hours to Kuantan just to meet them

to see my parents' loving eyes

to see my sister's stony face

to listen to my brothers' not-so-evil laugh

to hold my naughty naughty nephews

so stop questioning me for god's sake...

just because I say I love living in other places except my hometown

doesn't mean I hate staying at my home town

I am NOT you

you just don't know me

so ficken off!!
