I don’t care if people talk shit about me. I was raised to flush shit down the toilet, not to play with it.

Hidup sudah sedewasa ini, apalagi yang dicari selain kedamaian, ketenangan dan bertemu dengan hal yang baik-baik. Kita hanya perlu lebih baik dari hari kelmarin, bukan lebih baik dari orang lain.

I never heard your first soft cry, nor held your hand in mine. No tiny fingers grasped my own, no eyes that mirrored mine. You grew in silence, safe and warm, a whisper yet to be. But fate unspoke the words of life, and took you back from me. I dreamed of lullabies to sing, of laughter, love, and light. But now I hum a quiet tune to fill the empty night. Though time moves on, I won’t forget— your name remains unsaid, but in my heart, you softly live, not lost, just born to rest.
