Break-up

By: Grace Olfindo

 

I contemplated this

A long time ago

I think... think and think

I came up

To a conclusion,

It's not fair in your part

I don't want you

To be in this madness

In this, sadness,

I want you to be

Genuinely happy

Even if

I will not be

Part of it

I easily change my mind

Easily change my mood

Easily changing my feeling

In short, I'm not that stable

It is always a burden

In my part,

to know

That somehow

I am hindering

The happiness

Of someone, that could be

Genuinely happy to anyone

I run out of reasons

To still be with you

To said it bluntly

I don't have any reasons

To break-up, with you

But the saddest part is,

I don't have any reasons

To hold on to you

Weird right?

That is why,

I'm breaking up with you.

Thank you for the times

That we talk, eat and meet

To the chocolates, flowers and cake

To the letter, that says "I love you"

To the feelings that was invested

To the time that was wasted

To the moment that you choose to be with me.

I still need to fixed myself,

To contemplate,

To reflect,

To be whole

To heal

To be forgiven

Whether, you accept this or not

I breaking up

With you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Sorry"

Sorry

By: Grace Olfindo

 

Sorry, for the times

that I am not gentle, 

Not listening,

Not empathetic

Nor sympathetic

Forgive this lowly creature

Because, once in while

I forgot to empathize

Nor sympathize

Please, forgive my foolishness. 

 

 

 

"There are times"

 

There are times

By: Grace Olfindo

 

There are times,

That I felt so tired,

Exhausted,

Demotivated and low in energy.

I lost the spark and joy in doing

What I love.

How could I rekindle

The passion that was once in my heart

I was asking myself, if this is normal?

Or do I have to rest,

Discern? Meditate?

Definitely, I needed help.

But, how could I ask help?

I don’t want to be a burden

To anyone, or to someone.

I don’t know what I needed to do

HELP! HELP!

This is what my mind is trying to say.

Depressed, sad, and lonely thoughts

Are start gripping in my mind.

As helpless human being

Haunted by fear, rejection and frustration

I started to think, this too shall pass

I continue to close my eyes

And hope tomorrow

I will feel better.
