A Poem – A LONER
A Loner
I am a boy.
A teen, a man.
But most of all,
I am a loner.
People call me different,
They call me unusual.
I am the black dot
Inside a big white canvas.
I am the cries among the laughter
I am the black among the white
I am the shy among the extrovert.
I am the loner among the crowds
I can only stop my walk
And stay a little while,
Then think inside my heart
Why am I so different?
Another Chance – A Poem
Another Chance~
Can you remember our first spring?
When the night sky was clear
We are sky gazing
While laughing without any tear
Can you remember our next spring?
When we somehow kiss?
I felt butterflies tingling
I felt the biggest bliss
But then we fight
Ending every relation
Eyes never met, eyes out of sight
Never show any affection
Then I send sincere apologies
For the things I have done,
I promise I’ll never make you cry
Then we’re back as friends
Lover it is, on our next summer
But death brought separation
Why should we be parting ways?
When we were soon-to-be fiancé
Then I could only pray
Wish that God give me another chance

A Letter To May
Dear May,
Hello May, it has been a long time since the last time we talk. 2 years exactly. Well, I am eating some brownies as I’m writing this letter. Just like the old days, right? How are you now? I am fine right now and I hope you’re fine too.
This year was still hard for me. Everyday my mind couldn’t stop thinking about our parting ways. I just hope I could say sorry that time, but you’re leaving way to soon. Well, regret always comes late, right? I wish to cry right now, but you will hate me for that. You hate crybabies right? Since your departure, I felt so lost. You are my light, my guide that helps me walk in the right way. But when you left me, everything seems dark. Worlds are crumbling and I just couldn’t say “God is good” that time. Everyday was so boring and plain without your laugh and smiles. I even lost my spirit to live. My reason to live.
But then I met this guy, he was like you. Wise, caring, confident, and nice. The way he talks reminds me of you. We have a lot of things in common. We even share the same hobby! Maybe he’s the one, the answer to my prayer. Well not as a boyfriend silly, but as a close friend, a brother. He shows me the way once more. But I think our relation is having some quite of problem. People are talking about how bad his attitude. But, I chose not to believe it. Is this the right decision, May?
Anyway, are you still eating sweets? I bet you are still chewing on gummy bears. You love those so much, right? I still remember your last birthday. I made a gummy bear cake for you. I hope you like it though. Well, remember our favorite song, “Fix you”? We chose this song because we decided to be each other’s angel, who reminds us about our mistake and fix it. But now, I think the song “Gone Too Soon” suits me better. And I still remember how you wished to dance under your disabilities. Sorry for not fulfilling my promise to make you dance…
And… May, although we will never met, I hope you know that I love you. Not as a friend, as a lover. Well, life keeps rotating. I should stop crying, I guess. Sleep tight May, keep smiling for me. Goodbye May. I love you…. :’)
Your one and only lover, Alphonse
Love, contains only 4 letters. But love, is such a mystery. People may miss their true love, never realize their true love, and just will never found it.
A Fiction – “Either”
She was sitting alone. Daydreaming.
Her hair was so messed up. Her eyes was quite red, tears were also slowly drying. She must have gone through something bad. Maybe a breakup? Nowadays, these kind of thing is not a rare sight for people and she must have been in the class alone for a long time. Well, the class have ended 3 hours ago and everyone had gone home. Maybe she was contemplating? Suddenly, she walked towards the window. The sky was quite clear, maybe the last rain had flushed out the pollution in the air. She open the window, letting fresh air came to the room. The air brought a lavender scent. Relaxing.
The girl closed her eyes, trying to calm herself. “Janet, what are you doing?” a voice asked the girl. The girl answered, “No…Nothing, sir.” The girl tried to hid her trembling voices.
“If it’s nothing, why are you crying?” the voice asked once more.
“Crying? No way! I accidentally poke my own eyes!”
“Poking oneself eyes accidentally?”
“Yeah!” her cheek blushed, she quietly wished that her teacher believed her.
“Okay, shouldn’t you be going home? It’s 4 pm now.”
“Really?” the girl said in made-up shocked expression.
“Yes it is. By the way, if you need any counseling, feel free to call me.” the teacher said while giving his name card to Janet.
“Thank you, sir.” Janet said with a smile. She take small steps, walking out of the room. She then waved her hands to the teacher. By looking to his name tag, his name was Ardel. Janet smiled once more, before leaving his teacher. ”
“She is sure in need of a help,” Ardel said. He smiled and slowly leaving the classroom, closing the door. The school was finally empty at 5 pm. Yes, Ardel was the last to leave.

Words, dear!
“Words!”
Well, I often hear adults say that short sentence to their children who speaks inappropriate. But have you ever think, how could children and teens say such bad words?
The same question has been bothering me for days since I also committed to use my mouth for good intentions only! But still, sometimes these words just came out! This article is about my reflections.
But how do we know these bad words? And why do we keep saying it, though we know it’s bad? These are probably the answers :
1. There are no boundaries!
Teens sometimes use bad words (swear) to test their parents patience. Some parents don’t give them the boundaries they need for building the right manner!
2. Their parents!
A lot of teenagers say, “My parent swears, why can’t I?” Actually this is a sad fact. Most teenagers and children know the curses or bad words from their own parent. In the other hand, parents tend to be angry to their children. So, both teens and their parents must learn to control the bad words.
3. Their friends!
Well, this is maybe the most common cause of bad words. We have heard, “My friend says bad words, and it looks cool!” for a thousand times before, right?
4. Their Entertainment
Teens usually copy what they see and hear. Nowadays, TV channels have been filled with reality shows that contain a lot of swearing and bad words. Then if teens watch this, how many times will they copy the words? Thousands!
Then, what should we do? Should we stop making friends? No! A thousand time no! Making friends are a must, since we’re a social being. What we can do are :
1. Choose your friend carefully. See their everyday life, if they use swear words often. Believe me guys, sooner or later they will mock you with the same word.
2. Well, there’s this little thing that I called Pay for Curses. This means, every time you curse, put some money inside a box. This will cause you to lose money every time you swear or curse. Neat right? By the way, let your mom handles the box.
Ah, yes. A few days ago, I saw a really funny thing. But though, it reminds me of my commitment. I was having a walk at the park. What’s funny is, I met this little guy who pinched his mouth every time bad words started to come out from his mouth. Well since then, I gave more effort in fulfilling my commitment. Just a remainder, it’s hard to control a boneless tongue but God’s help sure to bless the one who asks.
Before I end the article, I found some verses to encourage you on keeping your words “healthy”.
“The mouth of the righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.” – Proverb 10 : 11
“Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.” – Proverbs 21 : 23
“Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all day.” – Psalm 71 : 8
Are you taking commitment to use your mouth healthily? If yes then good luck! I know you can do it! For those who don’t, I believe that you are still in confusion. It’s okay, I once trapped in confusion before I committed. Anyway, God bless all of you… 🙂
Self-Confidence, Power or Weakness?
Confidence, is it good or bad? How to be confindent? Well, these questions have been bothering me since 2 days ago. Actually, I’m not the most confident person on earth, maybe I’m even the less confident one! Well, let’s put that aside first.
Now, what is actually Confidence?
Confidence means, that you believe in something or someone opinions.
Self-confidence means to have confidence in oneself! But self-confidence is different with arrogant.
Then, what is the characteristic of people with self-confidence?
1. They do what they have planned even though other mock or critize them,
2. They often say, “Thank you for seeing my effort!”
3. They’re willing to take risks for better results
4. They admit their mistakes and learn from it. This characteristic is one thing that makes self-confidence isn’t the same with arrogant or cocky.
But, is self-confidence a good thing?
Well, this part is not that long.
Self confidence is a good thing! Why? Self-confidence is one’s way to gain bravery. Self confidence means, you try to believe in yourself!
But what happens if someone becomes too confident?
Most people that are too confident tend to become arrogant and intolerant. They think that they’re the best.
So, be sure to be confident in the right way!
So, which is the “right” confidence?
Do you remember, Phillipians 4 : 13? The verse actually says, ” I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” This is called a confidence! And the right one! In everything you do, you should realize that God’s plan is there. When you succeeded, it is because of Him! If you do so, you’ll become more confident but won’t be arrogant!
Then, how to grow the confidence in oneself?
1. Start by seeing your achievement, then your strengths. Then make your plans for the road ahead.
2. Reconstruct your mind, change your mindset into positive thinking. A rational positive thinking.
3. Commit to yourself that you will be feeling confident even mocks or critics are thrown into you.
4. Set small goals, slowly turning them into a good habit. Use reward-punishment program.
5. Keep in mind that your success is from God! Don’t forget to thank him and tighten your relationship with him. You’ll discover that being close with Him makes you more confident because you learned that God always has the best plan.
From the things above I could say that confidence can actually become a power or weakness. A power when you realize that God is the one who gives you all of the success, but a weakness when you think that success is because of you, and you started to lose control.
Here are some verses to give you a boost!
Psalm 139:13-14 ESV
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”
Psalm 27 : 3 ESV
” Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.”
Well, that’s a little about confidence!
Are you the confident one? Or less confident one? I’m the less, but still I try to learn to become one. 🙂
Failure is Actually a Success!
Actually for me, there’s nothing called failures. ‘Cause failure is actually a success in finding things that won’t work in certain situations! So, smile and keep fighting with all of your might. Stay positive! God bless 🙂
