My Choice

I'd rather live in my own world

than to die from your words.

I'd rather stay isolated and be happy,

than to be around people who don't know me.

Capabilities

Your words can be sold

But time shall tear apart

Every walls and 

unhide your flaws.

Let your actions speak

Your greatness,

Your weakness.

Words to explain

are no longer needed.

High expectation turned

disappointment

shall diminish.

Surprise them what you can do

Surprise them who is the real

You.

Imperfect

One does not need

to be perfect,

for there is no such thing.

The world itself

is subjected to change,

it was made to be imperfect.

Saddening Observation

Engulfed by the obstacles of everyday life

Forgetting the simplest beauty

Striving under pressure of the society

Deep sigh released after a whole day of misery.

The cycle repeats

and so time ticks

Leaves fall from the trees

Care for others dusted

and flew by the wind.

It is always the "I" that matters to oneself

No man remembers what others tell

The man rather stick to his gadgets and

uplift himself just to feel well.

Sickness

It is when your mind shall know the truth,

when your body doesn't comply with your thoughts.

It is when you're immobile that you'll understand what you've taken

advantage of.

It is when you don't feel right that you'll be reminded that you've lost

respect for yourself.

Painting

A painting illuminated

by the moon so gracious

giving life to a distant memory

of a melancholic ingenue.

A falling angel

caught by a mortal creature,

depicted her desperation

to fix a broken picture.

For the man that defies

the line of their friendship state.

For the man that gave his all

to win her heart whatever it takes.

She will paint this subject all over again,

to express how much he means to her.

For the love she can't reciprocate in reality,

in a painting she'll transform into probability.

Loving A Dreamer

My eyes glitter as you speak,

when you tell me your stories and dreams.

I can only feel you, with your eager voice,

everything around the universe shrinks.

Your world is so profound,

where you aspire what your heart only desires.

Your are so precious, I'm in pain,

for your presence is pure I cannot contain.

If only I can embrace your existence

and let not anyone invade your space.

I will shield you away from heartaches,

and you will always be safe.

Appreciation

A dying motivation

can be saved,

with kind words

of appreciation.

Say the magic words

and instantly

he'll know he has worth.

It is inevitable to

find a lost soul,

for they are scattered

in every direction.

Be generous to appreciate,

shyness is not enough

to justify your quietness.

Notice he exists

no matter what he is,

empathy is the key

even if it's never close to reality.

Written by: KTN PRL

Stranger

Talk to a stranger

no judgment can be seen,

for this day is the only day

that both can meet.

It is an encounter made

either bad or great

but surely your instincts

will cooperate.

A choice to be made,

will a stranger be a friend

even for a day or will it be sustained

in an everlasting chain?

Written by: KTN PRL

Closed-minded

Facts are given,

but none are driven

to learn, act and keep

what's written.

List down all wisdom,

rusty from overly used.

Mimic the wise men

and still end up confused.

Anyone can easily spit truth,

but not all really understood.

For one preaches what has been decided,

a culture of the unaware closed-minded.

Love Yourself

It was there.

All through your life,

from sorrow to your glee,

through thick and thin.

It was there.

The you that you're looking for,

whenever you want companion,

whenever you feel alone. 

It was there.

The you that console you,

admire you despite your flaws,

holding on, never letting go.

It was there.

Lying in the deepest of your soul,

waiting to awake from your blindness,

waiting to boost your confidence.

It was there,

and will always be,

just learn,

to love yourself.

What Is It About Life?

What is it about life that makes her sad?

Is she looking on the wrong side?

Someone might laugh,

Calling her pessimist in life.

Is it wrong if ignorance is not her bliss?

She cares about the smallest detail made.

And despite not all understand it,

She won't end this sadness with a blade.

What is it about life that makes her sad?

If this continues till end,

She has no choice but to embrace it like a friend.

For she wants to make this insane life well spent.

Slave of doubt

Four-leaf Clover

If they ask me to find

a four-leaf clover,

I will proudly smile

and turn to you.

For I am

considered fortunate

when I befriended

a rare miracle,

you.

The Difference

He doesn't need a friend,

he needs someone who feeds his

selfishness.

Misunderstanding an idea,

blinding himself in a misguided

happiness.

Awakened Monster

Admiration into obsession,

stranger turned stalker.

A lover became a creep,

he is a tale of the awakened monster.

Nature Speaks

Birds singing melody,

for you to awake.

Pull yourself out the tent,

and everyone shall celebrate.

Step onto the land,

move wherever you please,

your footprint shall mark

history that you exist.

Towering tress,

swaying along the wind.

They await your presence so

they can finally breathe.

The sun acknowledges you,

his rays shine brightly upon you.

Ready to surrender his reign,

for you to see the glorious moon.

When fate plays game on you,

don't feel any gloom,

for the flowers will send their scent,

you can lie with them as they bloom.

The clouds will unite

to shower you rain,

to wash away your worries

and let your happiness invigorate.

Home

Setting out on a journey,

on my way back home.

Figuring out the pieces left,

picking them up as I roam.

The fragments of identity,

the dreams that I wove.

Settled to find anything,

even the masks I've worn.

Desperately looking for truth,

from the past that made me hope.

Meticulously observant,

of the things that once made me whole.

Home is where I belong.

Home is what I have longed.

Home will remind me the goal,

that made me want to soar.

Home will heal the me,

that fell hard on a cold floor.

Written by: KTN PRL

Human

Keeping the equilibrium,

force of gravity befalls

upon human's borrowed life

when floating becomes overdone.

Counting ages

as time mercilessly pass by

whether humans live or die,

the world rotates and that

makes irrelevant.

Fighting to live,

looking for meanings

despite humans praying

not all are redeemed.

Seeking for a star's guidance

to infinite beliefs,

humans take the risk of believing

in order to peacefully live.

Some things

Are not up to me,

That probably makes me, me.

A human being.

Memories Remain

Memories remain

if the heart desires.

Uncaptured moment

ain't it more significant?

There is no proof it existed,

just intangible feelings and faith.

You're Like A Book To Me

Pupils dilate by the presence

of a book that caught me

Heart skipped a beat as my hands found

glory when I touched its skin

Lost in a trance when its soothing smell

visits my nostrils

Mind flew high as it speaks

countless possibilities and so

from there I knew

how I fell in love

With you.

Written by: KTN PRL

Letting Go

In the midst of losing myself

I seek console from a friend,

despite it seldom happens

I'm assured she's there till end.

Opening the gates of sorrow,

to her, I have surrendered.

I'm tired, I told her.

Swiftly, a wisdom she offered.

Sometimes, it's okay

not to swim against the tide.

Her words hit straight to my heart,

and that I cannot hide.

She was right,

I'm holding too tight on a rope.

With the current against me,

I was tired yet scared to let go.

Sometimes, it's okay to wander

your eyes away from the goal.

Letting go isn't equivalent to giving up

but rather,

a way of realization

to take things slow and not lose all.

Grandest Dream

I can still remember

so vividly,

from the past,

my grandest dream.

From that summer night

I've shared to you,

eyes with gleam,

my grandest dream.

I was filled with high hopes

that you'll support,

the ecstatic idea,

my grandest dream.

I can still remember

so vividly,

you called my grandest

an elusive dream.

I'm Still Trying

I've always

wanted to

understand

you.

But,

it looks

as if you

don't want

me to.

Something Familiar

Look at this vibrant child,

that's playing under a tree.

Giving vibes of his future,

that he can bring home victory.

A smile of happiness displays,

on his face so young and free.

This is his time of innocence,

long before he flees.

This phase of life always gives me

the chills of familiarity.

Because all adults were once like him,

just a child full of dreams,

spotless of uncertainty.

Written by: KTN PRL

Sober

Subconsciousness taking over,

Releasing the innate power.

Although this is happening,

I'm unsure if it's me that's talking.

I'm drunk but declares sober,

That's just me like any other.

It's the game that everyone's playing,

Being caught but still pretending.

Tonight let me release the other,

It's been hidden like forever.

Let this be a temporary remedy,

For my lingering insanity.

Tomorrow let me suffer,

Multiply the thoughts that come over.

No one can escape from reality,

Perhaps that's the real tragedy.

Nobody

The reason why we condemn

Egos exist on our realm

People fighting contentment

Struggling to have acknowledgment

That's how it is

All are born narcissists

Nobody wants to be still

Nobody wants to disappear

Nobody

wants to be

Nobody.

Cold-hearted

Observe and uncover the truth,
Behind the man in a defensive suit.

Take away your ignorance and find a clue,
Save him from yet another feud. 

He is delicate but masked to stay protected, 
Refrain the rumors that he is cold-hearted. 

Stop him from hardening his armor,
And a change you'll find in another encounter.

Written by: KTN PRL

Lost

Frustrating, humiliating.

The sense of achieving,

deteriorating.

The map is not the same,

the destination changed.

Disturbing discoveries,

no solutions in baggage.

Where is the next stop?

Tell me the next route,

anything to get out.

Same Old Guide

Move forward to get the goal

It doesn't matter if you need to crawl.

Failures are inevitable

They are soon made memorable.

Learn from your mistakes as they say

They will help you the next day

Break free from self resistance

Give yourself a chance

Future lies ahead

Fate will guide you so don't be afraid

The world is not against you

In fact it brings a new day for you to continue.

A Little Reminder

Little things you don't see

They have no significance you believed

You urge more for what's not there

Don't blame the world it's unfair.

Little things you forget

Time won't move backwards for your regrets

Rushing your pace to the top

It's like leading yourself to a trap.

Idle

Sleep won't come

My mind relentlessly thinking

Overstressing the unknown

I'll wait for the sun to come home

Long hours of the night

I thought it'll be silent

My brain is still restless

And yet, nothing makes sense.

Lone Wolf

Let me write you a letter

Of one that's full of love and appreciation

To tell you genuine sentiments and not of lies

Let my words clear your clouded mind

Lovely as you are

No need to change a thing

Your effort to smile even though you're breaking

Gratefulness I can only give

Carefully choosing your words

Staying strong for the strangers' confessions

You try to conceal your own emotions

And give sympathy for them to move on

My heart aches for the others

Ignorant of your own world

You stay silent not because of secrecy

But because you knew how far one can hold

I watch you from afar

Lucky enough to speak to you once in a while

As we know how it goes

I speak your language and you did mine

Little time together we spent

Subtly looking for someone to comprehend

Our simple joys of being heard

A little depth of insights we shared

Now we're on separate ways

I wish you only happiness

May you find people who appreciate you

And let them lighten your burdens.

Self is the Enemy

Frustrations come across

I've been drowned with toxins

Mind's thoughts unable to suppress

Hope is ruined

Lots of things to do

But no peace of mind

Self is the enemy

No work is done

Existence is irrelevant

I speak without a sound

Nobody relates

No one understands

I stand right here

Eyes everywhere

Words cut confidence

I blamed myself

Written by: KTN PRL

Young

I am young.

Till when will I be?

Seasons change in a blink of an eye

I pretend I'm unconscious

Troubles come and go,

And so will be the people.

We all have in common

I have fears

I run as fast as I could

But the rain kept on falling

And there are mountains to pass

Only then I realized I was only watching the sky. 

I wander,

Back to where I start.

I stood in front of the clock

Memories appeared and so is the pain

I am young.

Till when will I be?

The sky I'm watching, 

I'm not the only one who sees.

Kindness

Never underestimate a heart of gold

For it crashes down firm shield which I've invested upon from birth.

Never did I plan to let my guard down for you to witness who is who

But your pure kindness pass through painfully as it carved its existence to my soul.

My heart is weary and vulnerability displayed.

Never once did I felt so naked in front of whoever in my years of living

Embracing this change I dare to never progress but it's though as if I didn't succeed

My shield was shattered and blocking your presence, I failed.

A Man with a Diary

What else could be more attractive
than a man carrying words in his pocket. 

From a simple thought to his longest narrations, 

a little book he's carrying had been graced. 

A manly voice with a strong feat, 

I can never forget your mind's true content. 

Just a glimpse of your insights, 

my heart had been swayed.
