Duniaku makin suram,
Curam bawa kecundang,
Bersama resah tanpa diundang,
Jiwaku menggila tanpa engkau pandang,
Kau yang buat diriku begini,
Hilang rohku terbang biar aku mati,
Bangun pagi tiap hari semakin sepi,
Fikiranku hanya inginkan kau di sisi,
Tapi kau tak fahami diriku,
Hanya membeku semakin kaku,
Membatu, menyepi dari apa yang berlaku,
Tapi diam mu heboh ibarat buku,
Tiada jawapan untuk aku maju,
Hanya tersadung dan jatuh semakin laju,
Andailah kau pakai jawapanmu ibarat baju,
Ke arah itulah arah yang aku tuju,
Puaslah, ketawalah apa yang kau sembunyi,
Ku harap hidupmu tidak semakin sunyi,
Kau tolak ku mentah seperti menyanyi,
Singkirkan aku mudah seperti bunyi,
Cukuplah aku yang menanggung sakit,
Kerana yang menitis darahku bukan sedikit.
What language is this…just by picture and trying to read – seems very intense!

Thanks! It is in my native language, Bahasa Malaysia. I rarely post it here but I can’t keep this one inside. π

Oh my goodness…I’ve never read a poem in Malay before. Being Malaysian, my parents understand Malay (among other languages), but I’ve never been able to pick it up. This is so fascinating, and I’m slightly envious that you know the language, Ally!

Thanks, Jade. Didn’t know that your family is Malaysian. Perhaps it will be easier for you to grasp the language if you come here. haha. π

Yes, that’s why Gina and I first became good friends in Wordoress: we realized we were both Malaysian ^_^ I was born there and came to NYC when I was about 7. I still have a huge chunk of family in Malaysia (near Kuala Lumpur) and have always wanted to go back and visit. I miss the country and my memories of the place are starting to fade π¦
