Confession Poem by Maria Sudibyo

Answer me, answer me
And wash this anxiety
I’m standing on the edge of shore
And wanting to be pulled over

Look at me, look at me
Just a single glance would relieve
Before I barely see anything
In the night that is so dark

Come to me, come to me
And be the only one for me
It is the selfish thing I ever wish
But I can’t stop longing for

Consider me, consider me
Don’t reject me so easily
I’ll make you be able to recognize me
Even from the distant ocean
