Greatest Listening Act Poem by Maria Sudibyo

I want to say it straight and blunt
And I don’t need to add any reason
Because it sounds like self defense
And only satisfying your hidden accusing

Every time of our meeting
Is like my torturing machine
You always repeat the same thing
I feel my patience is going thin

What if I’m saying “no”
What if I’m just walking away
Do you accept rejection
Or turn you into a revenge

How much longer I could take
How long my smile still intact
And I start to think that I should be paid
For my all greatest listening act
