Kamu Bisa Apa?

 



Sebuah tanya keras sekali memeking di selusur kepala. Lalu kemudian aku cuma bisa tersentak, memikirkan dalam-dalam jawaban dari tanya yang bergema. Ku amati dengan seksama pantulan diriku di cermin, perasaan rendah berkecamuk segera. Belum terlalu renta, namun tak jua cukup muda. 


“Kamu bisa apa?”


Kali ini gemanya cukup keras. Cukup membuat sekujur tubuh lemas. Jawaban itu ada di antah berantah. Pantulan diriku terlihat tak terkendali. Kacau dan berantakan sekali. Apa ini potret diri tanpa filter dan riasan? Di sana sini penuh bekas borok. Sebagian bahkan belum sepenuhnya kering. 


“Kamu bisa apa?”


Gema suara itu laksana halilintar di tengah malam. Meraung di rapuhnya jiwa. Kini aku jadi muak sendiri melihat rupa diriku di cermin. Ku pejamkan mataku, menolak untuk melihat sosok yang ada di hadapanku. Tapi kupikir ini lah pantulan diriku yang sejujur-jujurnya. Tak satupun orang tahu. Lambat laun ku buka mataku lagi. Meski setengah bergidik, aku harus bisa menerima diri sendiri bukan? Ini lah aku. 


“Kamu bisa apa?”


Kali ini aku lebih berani ketika suara itu datang lagi. Lagipula aku sudah menemukan jawabnya.


“Aku tak berdaya, tak bisa apa-apa,” jawabku dengan lantang. Pasrah, ku biarkan diriku dikuliti sampai habis.


“Aku kalah,” pungkasku sambil menyerah.

Supernova

  Million bulbs in the void, bursts into a piece as its light disperse, like a supernova, we dwell in the fading light, fight against gravity and grow red, restart, become blue with fury, sedated by dark, concourse into the blackhole, turning it into a singularity, succumbing to the demise, reconciled with eternity. We were once scintilation, before we collapse into one, so what are we now? -vic

To Be Small Before the Divine

The storm within me has known no rest. It visits in the hush between dawn and prayer, when the world still slumbers, and my thoughts grow loud. The earth spins swiftly on its axis, chasing the sun with relentless haste, yet here I stand—tethered, heavy, slow. My soul lags behind the march of men; I watch the days unravel like threads slipping from weary hands. I meet countless faces, radiant and certain, yet within me, doubt stirs like a restless tide. I ask myself,  Who am I in the vast decree of His creation?  A breath among storms, a grain among mountains, a spark that flickers, known only to the One who kindled it. The world teaches us to run—to build, to gather, to proclaim our worth upon fragile pedestals—but my heart whispers another truth: that to diminish oneself before the Divine is the only way to truly rise. For what glory can man claim when his end is dust, when his pulse is but a loan from the Almighty? I have seen men boast of their light, yet forget that light ...

Leave The Past as It Is~

  Scrolling through old tweets, old photos, old group chats… it’s like opening a little time capsule where everything felt lighter, more full of connection, and like life hadn’t scattered everyone yet. That’s kind of feeling is grief, in a quiet, tender kind of way. You're grieving how life used to be. And it makes sense. Back then, you probably weren’t thinking about responsibilities, future plans, or staying connected—because everything just was. Friends were near, laughter was easy, and the world felt more within reach. As we grow up, people drift. Life paths split off in quiet ways. It doesn’t mean those friendships didn’t matter—they did. They shaped you. And even if they faded, the joy you felt back then was real, and yours forever. You’re not broken for missing what was. You’re human. Tender-hearted. Nostalgic. And that’s a beautiful thing. Realizing that life doesn’t always separate people with big, dramatic goodbyes. Sometimes it’s just distance, time, priorities shifting ...
