Three Keys Of Journey Poem by Rianda Sulistyaningrum

Tick.. tock...
Minutes and minutes, hours and hours,
I'm staring the door, in front of me.
Tick.. tock...
Minutes and minutes, hours and hours,
I'm glaring the scenes, in front of me.
Starving and shivering...

Tick... tock...
I'm staring and I'm glaring
I'm starving and I'm shivering
Minutes and minutes, hours and hours.

'Hei, Kid! Come and take this! ' said an old man.

Tick... tock...
I don't understand what he had said.

'Hei, Kid! Come and take this. You can begin your journey.'

Tick.. tock...
What is 'journey'?

'Hei, Kid! You can begin your journey because I will give you the first key! '

Tick, tock...
A key?

'Crush down this door, and you will get the key of knowledge! ! ! '

Tick-tock...
Should I?
The old man dissapeared.

Tick-tock... tick-tock...
Minutes seem faster.

Tick-tock... tick-tock... tick-tock...
Faster and faster!
I don't understand what's going on.
I never think, I never feel, I never ask!

Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock...!
I crushed the door! ! !

Tick... tock...
I realized, I had clutched the key.
The key of knowledge.

Tick…tock… tick…tock…
Minutes and minutes, hours and hours.
I’m seeing the world.
I know what I do not know before,
I begin to think, I begin to ask.
Then, I begin to feel scared!

Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
Minutes and minutes, hours seem faster!
I wanna hide, behind the door.
I wanna back, inside the wall.

Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
There’s no door, and there’s no wall!
I had no return, I had no chance! ! !

Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
I know what I do not know before,
But I do not know what I should know after!
It feels scared! It feels horrible! It is terrible!
I am worse than before.
It is better to do not know everything…
I would not feels scared of it; scared of knowledge.

Tick… tock... tick… tock…
Minutes and minutes, hours and hours.
Do not dare to raise my face.
Do not able to see others.
I’m scared… I’m scared…

“Hei, Kid! You have been accepted my Gift! ”

Tick-tock…Tick-tock…
It’s the old man!
I have a lot of question to ask!
I have to know what will happen next!
But I’m scared… I’m scared…
I do not dare to raise my face…

“What’s wrong, Kid? You looks like you regret my Gift.”

Tick-tock….tick-tock… tick-tock…
I’m scared… I can’t answer his question.
I don’t know what should I do now.

“You have knowledge. You should know what you have to do next. You have already grown bigger now. You can find the second key by yourself.”

Tick-tock….tick-tock… tick-tock…
Minutes and minutes, hours and hours.
I keep thinking, and thinking.
Do not dare to raise my face.
Do not able to see the others.

Tick-tock… tick-tock… tick-tock…
Is that so?
I am the one who chose to be scared.
I am the one who chose not to be able to see others.
I am the only one who have the knowledge.
I can simply chose not to be scared and be able to see the whole things in the world!
I just need one thing, The Courage!

Tick... tock... tick… tock…
I don’t feel any minutes, any hours.
I realized, I had clutched the key.
The key of courage.

Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
I see what I have never seen before.
I do what I have never done before.
I have what I never had before!
I have knowledge, and I have courage.
Nothing in this world could stop me to do whatever I’d like to do!

Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
I see the imperfectness of the world.
I see the flaw…
I see the sin…
I see the hell! !

Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
No minutes, no hours!
I have no time!
I should fix all the things!
I should fix the world, along my journey!
I should make it better and better!
I must have a perfect world! !

Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
No minutes, no hours!
No time left for me.
I shouldn’t be scared!
I am the one who have the knowledge.
I am the only one who have the courage.
I began this journey.
And I will finish it.

Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
How could I finish my journey,
In the imperfect world like this?
Full of sin, full of sinner…

Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock! ! !
No minutes, no hours.
Nothing left for me.
I began my journey with nothing,
And finish it with nothing.
I did it for nothing!
What a worthless!

Tick-tock… tick-tock… tick-tock…
Why I began my journey?
Why knowledge and courage was given to me?
Why it should be happened to me?
What’s the meaning of life?
What’s the meaning of my journey?

Tick-tock… tick-tock… tick-tock…
I am the one who have the knowledge.
Still, I can’t answer the question.
I am the only one who have the courage.
Still, I can’t do a thing.
No one can help,
No one would care.
Cause I am the only one…
Who realize the imperfectness of the world.

Tick-tock… tick-tock… tick-tock…
Minutes and minutes, hours and hours.
Minutes seem longer.
I have the knowledge, and it make me realize my weakness.
I have the courage, which make me realize my loneliness.

Tick-tock… tick-tock… tick-tock…
Minutes and minutes, hours and hours.
Hours feel forever.
I am trying to take back my time.
To get the last key of journey,
The one that should be the first key of everything.
The key of Faith.

Tick-tock… tick-tock… tick-tock…
Minutes and minutes, hours and hours.
I’m holding my faith, deeper and deeper.
Inside my heart, inside my soul.
I feel no weakness, I feel no loneliness.
Still I have my knowledge, my courage.
Seeing the world differently from I’ve ever seen before.

Tick-tock… tick-tock… tick-tock…
Minutes and minutes, hours and hours.
Holding tight my faith,
Leading by the knowledge,
Fully trust my courage.
I prepare my self, to begin my new journey.
Not to insist, but in acception.
Be able to see the beauty of the world by its imperfectness.
Not in rush, but in time.
Happiness will write its story by its own, by its time…

Tick-tock… tick-tock… tick-tock…
Minutes and minutes, hours and hours.
Let’s begin our journey!
Let’s write our own story,
With faith, knowledge, and courage!
