Answer Me Not Poem by fera nugroho

should I humbly praise
or merely mesmerize
the heavy life you named as sacrifice?



from the dark cold womb
where you kept me custody
to the deep open wound
carved on my entire body
i try to understand
my apology, i let you down

you brought me to a garden
in hope I could find my own eden
yet you saw me as a burden
deserved to be abandoned
somehow, the rain preached you not to,
for that was certainly forbidden
i try to understand
my apology, I bring you down

had you stayed there, you would've seen
how this thing called burden
struggled to find the path hidden in that garden…
wondered how the warmth of your arms
had changed hopes into ropes
though I hope they'll turn to gold
my apology, i fail to comprehend…


should I humbly praise
or merely mesmerize
the heavy life you named as sacrifice?
