Away Poem by Maria Sudibyo

Why do you glance away?
Because it is embarrassing
Because it is uncomfortable

Why do you turn away?
Because it is too boring
Because it is too predictable

Why do you walk away?
Because you don't care
Because you don't want to be involved

Why do you look away?
Because it strikes right into your heart
Because it is hard to accept

Why do you push away?
Because it is too close
Because it frightening you

Why do you throw away?
Because it disturbs you
Because it is disgusting

Why do you run away?
Because you can't take responsibility
Because you hiding something

Why do you back away?
Because you regret it
Because it is dangerous

Why do you stay away?
Because you need to remain unaffected
Because you don't want to be known

Why do you give away?
Because you don't need it anymore
Because your pride won't let you
