Me

Rebellion and peace... two personalities that lurks within me at the moment.
That reminds me of an old poem by Chairil Anwar.. one of the famous Indonesian poets.
Below is the translation of "Aku" (Me). It depicts exactly what I am feeling right now...
No doubt why I love this poem so much.


Me by Chairil Anwar


If my time should come
I'd like no one to entice me.
Not even you.
No need for those sobs and cries.

I am but a wild animal
Cut from its kind.

Though bullets should pierce my skin
I shall still strike and march forth.
Wounds and poison shall I take aflee. Aflee
'Til the pain and pang should disappear.

And I should care even less.

I want to live
for another thousand years.
