I'm not me..

I wouldn't want a life that doesn't want me.

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 2 min read

I wondered who I am?

Why did I come and where am I going?

I don't know how long I will wait?

No answer yet...

I will not desire a life that does not want me

As if I am the only one who has floated to the surface

I thought and sailed in the sea of ​​my existence

I am not drowning and I have no savior

I have no time or place like my homeland

I searched for myself and it has what I have touched

When I found myself inside the maze of my world

I ran after hopes like a mirage

I was convinced of what my world had offered me

Forgetting where I came from?

And I have no way out yet...

I thought and stared a lot but

I did not hit the target with all my arrows

As if the impossible has become impregnable my present

And here I am frozen still waiting...

In front of me is that ego that is talking to me

And I do not know who it is?

And I have no escape yet...

She took my time and all my dreams

And I will not allow her feelings to be hurt

So I thought and retracted my concession

What should I do if I can still bear her?

My freedom prevents me from hurting myself

When she does not believe me in word or deed

I am in a dilemma with my sisters

When I became certain that I have feelings for her

I am forced to keep her as a crown on my head

And I am eager to know things about her

I thought carefully because my heart might be jealous of her

She is the one who blames me when my tongue slips

She is the one who urges me to preserve my dignity

She is the one who takes my hand when needed

She is the one who pushes me to exercise my right

She is the one who advises me to persevere more

She is the one who reminds me of my past life

And she is the happiest if she enjoys company
