Gelisah

Gelisah
Kekosongan pilu menjadi kambing hitam
Luapan samudera khayal membasahi realita yang gersang
Dua retorika konyol melintas di pikiran mabuk ini
Lalu berdialog dan memaksa untuk keluar

Harap perlindungan dari kebebasan yang mencemaskan
Harap teguran mesra dari sosok lengkap yang tak pernah utuh

Diriku hanya bisa….
Menyelam kembali di paradoks yang lari dan tergenang
Dalam lintasan sunyi yang memekikkan pikiran

Ya, ketenangan semu
Yang kehadirannya hanya menggoda tuk pergi meninggalkan

Social Comparison We, humans, tend to look and want to know at other people’s life and compare it to our own. This tendency is called social comparison. With social comparison, we can make our self-esteem become higher than it should be. This kind of self-helping is very important because we have to be able to control and stabilize our self-esteem. If we don’t have a good self-esteem, we tend to view ourselves as a worthless being and disappoint at our own life time by time.
