Crack the Code

-

 


There's always a space between us

Gap without fillers

Missing links, broken puzzle pieces

A series of closed doors, lost keys

You give multiple codes

They are all indecipherable

Your actions are so obscure

Making me so insecure

You, being a cryptic

I, being a skeptic

Water my mind with lots of queries

You left them all unanswered


I'm not a code breaker

My instinct stinks in numbers and letters

Nor you should give me a case

And ask me to solve it without bases

Without traces

Without clues

Without a start to stop or continue


I'm in between the lines

Of reading between your lines

Your spills that are all well-planned

Rehearsed for many times

I think I should leave you now

For I am not raised for this role

Breaking something that is whole

To fit someone like me

In this uncertain hole


What's the answer behind every codes?

I don't know, I know nothing about you

And I think

That is all I know

I know nothing about you.

It is about how your behavior towards something changes over time. We dream and aim for a goal in different time zones. Sun comes out first in east, disappears in west. It's morning in our place and night time in some states. Others are dreaming while others are working. People differs by their thinking and how they work hard for something. Some are afraid to lose, some are always winning. Some rushes themselves to make it, some slows...

What's Outside?

I always find myself looking at the windows, which for me is a symbol for hope and patience. Be it a window in a bus on a trip or a glassless window in our home, I always find myself staring blankly outside waiting for contingency---but nothing happened. How can you stare to a window so hopeful and at ease if you can only see raging waves of hypocrisy, bruising rays of inequalities, and even stone-hearted apathy. Your glance to a window full of enthusiasm is always at risk and consumed. You may even get exhausted to take a second look and you wish you haven't seen what you saw. The world rotates cruelly to people who only wishes to be good, who only wishes to live in harmony and peacefully but the world is not contented to only bring scourge to disadvantaged people, it entertains itself by making fun of fishes trying to survive the current of the storm surge. Things get smaller when you look from a window, things that you wish you can touch and change its course, things ...
