Randomness Inside My Head episodes

  • Bittersweet
    They say losing something is
    Like having a hole in your life, waiting
    For it to be filled with another person/
    Another thing/another event/another
    Memory. But for me, losing something
    Is like digging fresh soil of the earth
    And reciting the same anthem of
    “Good bye”, “It’s great to know you”,
    And “I hope we will stay in touch”.
    Many rarely keep their promises so
    The fresh graves darken with time,
    With neglect, and with loss of fondness.
    However, on certain occasion they will be
    Revisited with pretty flowers and
    Looked upon with a sad remembrance.
    It was and it had been, and now it’s gone.
    This rollercoaster I’m feeling right
    Now tastes bittersweet.

  • Alienation
    But your loneliness
    Brings you to the edge of depression
    And further to the cage of alienation.
    When you expect a signal from your
    Cellphone you’re holding all day long
    To signify you’re not alone, but you
    Get nothing whole day, not even a
    Short message asking how you are,
    You jump right into that alienation
    Which has been lurking around your
    Heart and mind, shaking the confidence
    You should be having, the belief
    And assurance that even without
    Anyone available physically, emotionally,
    And on the internet for you, you’re still
    A worthy human being, worthy of
    Self-love and self-appreciation.

  • Existence
    I wonder and wonder as I stare at
    My phone and watch rows of rows
    Of someone typing in the chat
    Groups to boast their skills and
    Knowledges, hoping that anyone
    Will remember them as someone
    And not just “anyone”, the kind
    Of regular people, faceless user
    Names you find crowding virtual
    Space of communion and community.
    The mere meaning of what happens
    Is human’s existence and his vain
    Effort to satiate his thirst to be
    Noticed, to be acknowledged, and
    To be… loved.

  • Must It Always End
    With death? The devastation
    It causes and the disbelief lingering
    In people’s hearts. Exist for one
    Day and be gone in another, just
    Like the flowers when they wither.
    Every day is a battle with death.
    Every new day is a proof that we
    Win another day, another 24 hours
    From death which looms over us,
    Trying to take us to another world
    We hear so much about, but never
    Get to visit, unless our heart, lung,
    And nerve functions stop altogether.
