Ruby - Astari Boedikoentjara
Go ahead and ask me
to write you something happy
as I stare at a page so empty
I can write something trivial
mundane, daily activities
There’s only one way
to restore your peace of mind completely
Yes, you’ve already let him go
He’s never going to run the same sick show
Start making him
Tell you what?
They’ll suggest that accept

another lonely day and night to go
Oh, how to tell you so?
our friendship
once a level of comfort
now a wreckage
a failure unrepaired
shaped by fate
I can never really get rid of you,
can I?
No matter what I do
or how I should often lie
while trying hard not to cry
You’ll probably see me
an offbeat character at this party
a plain, simple girl-next-door
wondering what she could possibly offer
What? Who??
(Dark Thoughts of The Bullied)
It's more than a vacant space
or lack of expression on one's face
It doesn't contain nothing,
What is it with people like you?
You treat everything a competition,
all in the name of public acknowledgment.
You flaunt your fortunes,
clearly fishing for compliments.
“How do I catch a monster?”
I’m probably one of the few girls
who asks such a question.
I’ll definitely startle
those who look at me and wonder:
