Shake It Out

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

All of his questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off

And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off


I am not sad nor feeling blue.
I am not mad nor furious.
And, maybe that is the problem. 
I am not feeling nothing.

It is better to be yelled at.
It is better to be scolded.
So, that I know what I have done wrong.
So I know what I could possibly do to make things right.
But, no one is telling me what is wrong.
Or, maybe, everything is actually alright.

Then, why do I feel so wrong when everything is so right?

A new perspective

Someone once told me that there is nothing wrong with changes. He said that it would give me new perspective. He said, with me being away, it would makes me appreciate the thing that I had before. And yes, sure, Lately, I have been feeling it to be true. To be away with the things that I used to hold on - makes me realize that I have been spoiled. And now, I need to learn how to survive. To learn how to be brave again. And, sometimes, inevitably -- learning how to be OK with the sound of nothingness. Of course, once in a while, I envy those people who are still surrounded by luxury things. Obviously, I would constantly complain about the absence of my old routine. And, also sometimes, I would try to run away -- find the best escape route, just to get rid of the pain. How I hate changes. I wish some things were just stay the same -- forever. But then, I won't ever learn how to fly higher. I won't grow. But then, I also kind of asking my self, ... do I real...

one missed birthday

Ring . ring . Pukul 06.00. Aku terbangun dengan kepala sedikit pusing. Bingung karena tak merasa memasang alarm yang akan membangunkanku di pagi buta ini. Kuraih handphone mungil itu dan melihat tulisan di layarnya. Yagh, memang bukan alarm. Hanya reminder. ‘Sarah’s birthday.’ Dengan segera aku buka phonebookku yang sudah tak terhitung lagi ada berapa banyak nama yang terpampang disana. Ada! Nomor telepon Sarah di negeri seberang itu. Tapi, masihkah ia menggunakan nomor ini? Kuurungkan niatku dan segera menuju menuju shortcut Facebook dan mencari namanya diantara 1000 nama lainnya. Tidak ada! Aku mencoba membuka semua foto dan notes mengenai dia. Tidak ada! Kemana dia? Namun ternyata rasa penasarannya termakan oleh rasa kantuk yang masih luar biasa. Aku kembali tertidur dan melupakannya dengan segera. Siang ini sepi. Aku hanya duduk sendiri di area kampus yang selalu bisa membuatku tidak merasa sendiri walaupun pada kenyataanya tempat itu memang sepi. Terl...

Mimpi saya untuk mereka - penolong skripsi saya!

Beberapa hari belakangan ini, saya jadi teringat komentar teman-teman atau orang-orang yang bertanya tentang tugas akhir saya. Sebuah pertanyaan yang sebenarnya sangat klise dan bisa saya jawab apa adanya. Karena penelitian saya berhubungan dengan orang Tunarungu, dan ternyata pas nya lagi, di try out saya yang (Alhamdulilah) ke-tiga kalinya, saya diminta untuk ganti metode sama dosen pembimbing saya. Pada awalnya, cara saya mengambil data adalah dengan metode survei dengan mengisi skala/kuestioner, lalu, karena data saya tak kunjung valid, dosen pembimbing saya yang pantang menyerah dengan penelitian saya, mengusulkan saya untuk mengambil metode wawancara untuk mengambil data. http://maxcdn.fooyoh.com Pertanyaannya adalah: "Bagaimana cara mewawancara mereka?" Pertanyaan itu sering sekali ditanyakan oleh orang-orang yang tahu mengenai seluk-beluk skripsi saya. Ada yang keheranan, ada yang merasa itu cukup mustahil, ada yang merasa saya ini becanda, atau bahkan a...
