special kind of strength
February 26th, 2008 by micorazoni don’t think i have enough strength
to keep all those secrets that people
ask me to keep lately.
they are just too many,
too sad,
too painful
and
too dangerous.
i don’t think i have enough strength

I love giving compliments to people
because i think they deserved them.
unfortunately, i am surrounded by
a bunch of cynical and bitter human
beings that often perceived compliments
as small talks only.
poor people.
poor me.
No, it’s not like the way my girlfriend loves you
but I love you nonetheless
I love you for always trying to be strong
and never let life break you down.
I love you for our chats over things
that you always know more about them
but you never makes me feel inferior
because of it.
I love you for the mix of cynicism and
shyness that makes you look like an awkward
nerd with attitude.
I love you for the way you love my friend,
the way you love life and the way you love
your children.
I love you for always telling the truth and
standing tall against all odds making
people afraid yet enchanted by you.
Don’t look at me like that miss,
you are a much better than me
from head to toe.
Trust me, I’m not worth your envy.
sebuah tempat menyimpan
kehidupan saya selama lima
tahun terakhir ini,
untungnya saya tidak kehilangan
tempat menyimpan jiwa raga
saya selama tiga tahun belakangan ini.
Happiness is.
if you have too much of it.
Trust me.
Old, fat
and ugly.
I always like changes.
no matter how surprising,
how painful,
how sad and how heartbreaking.
I just realized it today.
weird.
Kekasihku mencoba mengajariku
bermain catur suatu malam
dan aku temuka betapa payah
dan malasnya otakkku sekarang
untuk berpikir dan mengingat sedikit
lebih rumit dari biasanya.
Aku sedih sekali.
its not about any of this shit, this bright hair of mine, this cat collar around my ankle, the thick green and orange of my jacket, its not about the way i sit slouched on the sidwalk, metal through my body, ink in my skin.its not about any of that.
its the way we dance strong and fast, climb buildings and fences and scream when we want to.the way we carry each other home, sleep next to each other with our faces covered.its every small genious thing we do. words we put down in pencil, in paint, scratched into cement.all we need built out of rusty bolts, old car parts, bottles and milk crates. its sleeping in the rafters with a door for a bed.stealing pianos off front poarches. swimming in the cold toxic water because your dead friends ashes are somewhere in there.
its about how we can learn everything from each other which trains to take, how to play this guitar dan this violin, how to break in, break things down, wire them back up the way we want them.its being awake when everyone else is asleep, looking in their windows, running through the streets, walking seven miles to the next town for coffee, building bonfires in closed down landfills and having enough time to want everything.
I know a boy with his toothbrush around his neck.i know a girl who always spits on her shoes. i have a teeshirt that belonged to my great grandfather.i have a patch that someone made me. its these small things that hold us together.these invisable things they don’t see.
Punk.
