Clarisse Sobiono Poems

It is suggested that you try
For in trying, questions are answered
Never go for intended mediocrity
Try your best, stay vulnerable
...

The bus was suddenly filled with unfamiliar faces
Outside the rain starts pouring
Sweat dripping hands
The look of indifference and wildered thoughts
...

You look at the clothes they're wearing
And you wanted all variations of it
You look at the house they're living
And you wanted twice the room in it
...

I could use a good news.
Not necessarily about me.
Just something that will take me away
From what I'm starting to believe now.
...

The way the artificial light strikes my bed
And the sound from outside fills my head
I see your face above mine as I lie in bed
You're an imagination or a memory I can just almost recall
...

Stretching, yawning then up you go
You heard your clock strikes six
Go for a quality run
Raise your heartbeat
...

That was yesterday
Try and forget about it
Triumphant or dismay
Away it was, away it stays
...

I wish I am an elephant
Expecting tourists on my rigid back
They could adorn my head
Just don't make me get up
...

Oh, leftovers
Why do we always have leftovers
It never happens that a thing concludes
And gone without leaving leftovers
...
