Tomorrow

Upon the lies that have been told,
To the promise land i hold.
Tomorrow,
There will be no room where lie can live forever.
It will not be long,
Because the truth will rise again.
Despite the pain,
Maybe we are meant to be alone.

Here it goes again

It’s back.
The darkness that I once thought had faded,
as time passes by,
but they came back, stronger than ever with suffocating power.
Pushing me back to the rock bottom,
when I was already, so close, to see the light.
But, no, it’s back.
Splashing black color to the colored painting of life, covering all other colors.
It’s all dark now.
because it’s back.
For once, I thought they’re gone.
I could live happy.
they took me to the corner of my room, making me weep and think about my entire existence.
“you’re not good enough,”
“you can do nothing.” It’s back.
My insecurities.
My low self-esteem.
My self-hatred.

Life is not a race

Mereka kata hidup itu bukan perlumbaan.
Dan aku setuju. Ia bukan perlumbaan.
Tapi tidak bermaksud sebaliknya.
Masa itu relatif. Dan akan senantiasa bergerak, tidak kira kamu suka atau tidak
Dan oleh kerana itu, kita perlu dapatkan keutamaan yang betul.

Life is not a race. I don’t need to conform to the dictation of my peer’s pace.
But I can’t help it sometimes. I am still human after all.
I do get envious of others. I do get dissatisfied by where I am.
I do get lonely when I’m alone.
But even so, I’ll be the goody two shoes that I am.
I’ll bite my cheek while I prioritize others before me.
Because I believe, a good deed goes a long way,
And I’ll see the silver lining when it is time.

Hidup ini bukan perlumbaan.
Benar, sebaliknya adalah pengembaraan.
Pengembaraan yang perlu kau nikmati setiap langkahnya.
