This poem is the embodiment when a human soul is at its lowest point. all thoughts enter causing confusion that makes us lose control. Emptiness, depression, anxiety, are factors that lead to hopelessness for the life that is being lived. all meaningless actions, all expectations poisoned with inferiority. This poem is written in Indonesian. To make it easier for you, I provide a translation in English. maybe this English does not cover the whole meaning (because of the difference in meaning equivalent), but hopefully the essence of this poem is conveyed.

dancing in the fireplace

Hesitate to digest the lost life There is no means for me to make room for the possibility to say; why? The opaque mist led me into the abyss of nothingness The wound is transformed into the world With his rejection of the problems of life in the void The spirit of grieving that is increasingly felt and the arrogance of problems such as age that refuses to grow old.

hell I feel so real The soul is increasingly sinking into an incomplete framework called Anger The waves did not find their calm Anger is my friend against the world Fight fire with fire and create the hell Dismay and anger found his home On the soul of the sorrowful who is feeling hell.
