Not - by Eric Hansen

You are not your age,
Nor the size of clothes you wear,
You are not a weight,
Or the colour of your hair.
You are not your name,
Or the dimples in your cheeks,
You are all the books you read,
And all the words you speak,
You are your croaky morning voice,
And the smiles you try to hide,
You're the sweetness in your laughter,
And every tear you've cried,
You're the songs you sing so loudly,
When you know you're all alone,
You're the places that you've been to,
And the one that you call home,
You're the things that you believe in,
And the people that you love,
You're the photos in your bedroom,
And the future you dream of,
You're made of so much beauty,
But it seems that you forgot,
When you decided that you were defined,
By all the things you're not.

What Kent wears,the glasses, the business suit, that's the costume.  That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us.   Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak.. he's unsure of himself, he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on...

Secangkir Kopi dan Teh Hijau...

Ini bukan tentang seberapa jauhnya jarak yang membentang antara kamu dan saya, ini bukan tentang bagaimana sulitnya saya dan kamu bertemu dan berbincang hanya sekedar menyapa dan bertanya ada apa. Ini juga bukan tentang nikmatnya segelas kopi dan teh hijau yang biasa kamu nikmati sambil membaca Nina Garcia ketika sore hari tiba dan menyapa. Ini tentang suatu sore dimana kita duduk bersama, sambil menikmati dinginnya kopi hitam dan hangatnya teh hijau, berbincang dan bercerita tentang betapa cerdasnya sang penemu sabun cuci berwarna merah, tentang ibu kota yang dipenuhi Super Mall dimana-mana, dan masa-masa sekolah yang kembali terulang di S2. Ini tentang bagaimana akhirnya kita bertemu, saling bertanya dan menyapa secara nyata. Ini tentang bagaimana saya akhirnya bisa memperhatikan kamu yang bercerita sambil sesekali membetulkan letak kaca mata, memperhatikan kamu yang sesekali tertawa ketika bercerita tentang bagaimana kamu mengemudi tanpa kaca mata. Ini bukan tentang ni...
