At Least I Accompany Me Poem by Maria Sudibyo

You ask me to say ok
When I'm screaming no!
You want me to smile
When I feel like crying
Hey, at least sadness accompanies me

Because this world is never going
As smooth as we hope
The lucky day for you 
Maybe the lost for someone

You told me to be strong
But do we really have a choice?
You give me the warmth
But I'm still cold inside
Hey, at least hunger accompanies me

When it is always more for you
Than good to me
Will you remove it
Only because it is not beautiful?

You bind me with mercy
When I seek for freedom
You try to be closer to me
But I'm forever stranger
Hey, at least loneliness accompanies me

Time keeps stretching
Your tired body forward 
Even though your soul and mind
Are left behind

You push me so far
When all I need is sleeping
You demand a hope 
When my dream's tingling to break
Hey, at least darkness is accompanies me

For life will not stop
Only because some whining
For heart will keep searching
Something that could fulfill
