"Perihal aku seorang penakut"

in poetry •  7 years ago  (edited)

This poem is about a coward that's afraid of being alone, losing everyone around and can't do anything to prevent that. I wrote this last year when I'm in a fight with my bestfriend and posted it on Instagram and we get back (like a couple~ sorry I don't know the correct word for that :P) as she read this. And forgive me I found it hard to translate it to English version, I tried, but it sounds weird. I'll try to write one in English next time :)


Ada seorang penakut,
sedang merenung kekhilafannya sendiri..
Dia termenung di tebing sunyi,
sambil menghitung hari-hari sepi..
Tangannya berpaut pada pepohon rapuh,
menunggu masa untuk jatuh..
Dia takut, tetapi tidak mahu berganjak..
Barangkali khuatir bakal tergelincir.

Dia menangis bersama hujan,
Ketawa bersama angin..
Sebelum matahari terbenam, dia buang segala dendam..
Tapi masih, hatinya tidak tenang..
Kerana tempat dia berpaut semakin berkurang.

Kadang dia terfikir untuk bangun,
Berdiri dan terus berlari..
Tapi ke mana dia harus pergi?
Sedang kakinya masih terkunci,
Dan fikirannya seolah mati.

Penakut ini masih hidup sehingga kini..
Di bawah pepohon redup, seolah tenang dari yang lain..
Mungkin kerana berselindung di situ,
Tiada siapa bakal peduli..
Hanya si penakut dan tebingnya yang sunyi. .
