In the dark
Seems no way out
Do not discern the direction
Almost fall into darkness
But…
There’s one hand
Grip me
Save me
Rise me up from my tumble
Hands that stay grip my hands
And guide me
To find the way out
To the glory
That hand belong to Someone
Someone who I’ve made cry
Cos of what I’ve done
I’ve found one more song which is really nice and inspiring. The first time I heard it was in the plane when I wanted to go to Europe this holiday. Actually that was not the first time because I’ve heard it when I took homestay program in US, but not really notice the lyrics. The title is “This Is Me” by Demi Lovato, the actress in the “Camp Rock” film (not yet enter Indonesia actually).
Just try to read the lyrics and you can download the song if you like it.
This Is Me
I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show, it's time
To let you know
To let you know
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way
This is real, This is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me (this is me)
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
This song teaches me to let the world know what my dreams are and what I want to be.
If I think deeply, this song is really the same with me and with my personality because sometimes I feel afraid to tell other people about what I want to be.
The girl in this song has a really great dream, but she always afraid to tell other people about her dreams and what she want to be.
But, she doesn’t want to be like that anymore and want to tell the world what she wants to be and prove it although the way seems far away.
The only thing that she can do is she has to believe in herself that she can do and reach all of her dreams in her life.
The song really teaches me other new things in my life.
This holiday I went to South Europe with my family from 24th September to 4th October. The route was started from Milan– Nice– Monte Carlo– Cannes– Avignon– Lourdes– Andorra – and was ended in Barcelona, Spain. I had to absent from school for 2 days because the holiday was on the 27th September, in the other hand the tour was started on 24th September. The flight took about 13 hours by Singapore Airlines. The tour was really nice and enjoyable; the tour leader was also really crazy because he is still young and always has “crunchy” jokes that made us laughed every single day.
The view in that entire place was really interesting and each city has its own characteristics which is different from each other. I was so excited to go to another city although it needed a whole day to enter new city or country. For me, the most adorable view in the route was Monte Carlo which is in the small country called Monaco. When entered the city, I could saw a very astonishing city from the top of the mountain to the edge of the beach. Actually, it was also rather scary because the way was really steep and small for the bus, so if the bus driver does just a little mistake, the bus can easily fall to ravine. I also could saw the track of the Formula 1 Race in Monte Carlo which is actually just an ordinary small way in the center of the city.
At Cannes, I could saw the beach where Mr. Bean took some scene (in “Mr. Bean’s Holiday” he wants to go to Cannes). That looked not as great as in the movie actually.
Unfortunately, when I arrived at Lourdes (small village where Virgin Maria showed herself to a small poor girl 150 years ago), I was sick and couldn’t went around the city and also took a cross way (“jalan salib”). I had to stay in the hotel for a whole day. That was really boring. But fortunately, I could recover quickly from my sickness and the next day I could do the tour again.
Barcelona was really nice, but a lot of pick pocket there because the law allow the people to steal money which is less than 300 Euro.
I just came back from Europe 2 days ago and now I’m really stress with all the test that I have to do because I was absent for 2 days. Maybe more than 4 test that I have to do. And also I still want to have some more holidays because I think it’s not enough. Maybe 4 days more… Agree??
Regret
The only word that can explain my feeling
Time
That I imagine can be so extensive
To be with him
To stare at his innocent face
To adore his kindness
To listen to his sweet voice
End
Before he knows
What exactly I feel with him
And also
Before I know
What exactly he feels with me
He goes
To a foreign land
Where the whole thing is totally different
More than billion miles separating us
Without know when he will return
He’s there
I’m here
Just distance that we face
Don’t know what can make us reunite
Just miracle
And God’s wish
That can make us
Be one
I make this poem because this afternoon at IP something reminds me again with my first love…
Thing that makes me feel so regret with the past time…
I really don’t know what he feels to me!!
Actually before this, I really want to forget him, because in my opinion it almost impossible for me and him to be one and maybe meet again…
So sad…T.T
Ps : This is the first poem that I make and actually I don’t know how to make a good poem… The words in this poem are really simple… But this poem is really shows what I feel now and before I tried to forget him…
Stay…
Everybody who knows me call me like that…
Actually, I don’t know where that name came from, but I love that so much…
But, I don’t want that I do is the same just like my name…
I don’t want to STAY in the same place and not moving anywhere…
I want to move forward and go ahead better that others…
I don’t want to STAY to do the same things that are wrong…
I want to fix the things that I realize are totally wrong…
I don’t want to STAY to do my bad habits…
I want to change that and have better character which is what God wants…
But, there is one exception…
I want to STAY to live in Jesus’ ways and STAY becomes his child that does what Jesus wants me to do…
Yesterday, I watched a very nice film…
The title is “Patch Adam”…
I think that film was really great and teach me to help other people and give them happiness...
Actually, I couldn’t stand to cry when Patch (Robbie Williams) in the last scene make the old lady’s dream comes true…
The old lady’s dream is to swim in the noodle pool…
And Patch makes it for her…
But, my dad was beside me at that time…
So, I was shy to cry at that time…
Patch’s determination to help people is really excellent and that’s a really good example that we can learn and do that in our real life…
I was wondering if all the humans being have a determination like Patch’s has, this world will be so peace…
The last two days, I’ve tried to have a quite time in the morning for 10 minutes…
It was hard to wake up earlier because I really love sleep…
I did that because I was remembered by my character building teacher that life is belong to God…
She asked, “How much time that you give to God in each day??”
After that, I realized that in my life time, I didn’t have a special time for God that gave me this life…
So, in the last two days, I’ve tried to wake up 10 minutes earlier; then I red Our Daily Bread book and prayed to God…
I want to make that become my habit although it’s not easy to change…
But, I’ll do my best to wake up early…
My life now isn’t belong to me…
My life is belong to God…
He gives me this life and He can take it from me now if He wants…
So, I think I have to do what God wants me to do in this life and always walk in God’s ways…
If everybody in this world realizes that, there mustn’t be crimes and other things bad that can destroy this world, because this life is belong to God…
Just do the best for God, because this life is belong to God…
In the 10 grade, I felt that Character Building was a very boring lesson and I didn’t like it so much…
Also, the teacher always lectured my class every single week and I felt that I didn’t study anything from that lesson (just listened the teacher lectured my class)…
At that time, I always thought that the teacher always teach us about attitude and character but she herself didn’t have good attitude by lecturing my class every single week without know the situation (I’m really sorry about that, but I really think that was not my class’ fault. That was because of the afternoon period made us really sleepy and not concentrated anymore)…
But NOW in the 11 grade, I really love character building and also the teacher (the study period for character building not in the afternoon anymore!!)…
Why??
Because I can learn more about various things that are really useful in my life later…
The teacher always tells about interesting stories that have really deep meaning inside that…
The teacher said that she also still study from the material that she give to my class because she realize that she still hasn’t got perfect character…
I surprised because I think all the teacher always think that he/she is the person that know everything in the class better that the students…
But, not for her…
I think Character Building is the most useful subject than the others (Math, Physics and many more) because Character Building is a lesson of life…
“Never Had a Dream Come True” (I don’t know the exactly singer) is the second song that I like after “Someone’s Watching over Me”…
Actually the point of this song is about love…
This is one of love song that I like…
But I can get another point that is really important for me…
The music of this song is really nice and the lyrics have really good meaning…
I’ll copy the lyrics:
Never Had a Dream Come True
Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
Chorus :
I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
Somewhere in my memory
I've lost all sense of time
And so my road can never be cos yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it should be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
Chorus
You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will
Oh baby, you'll always be the one I know I'll never forget
There's no use looking back or wondering
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try I just can't say goodbye
No no no no
Chorus
There’s one girl that has to move from one place and has to leave her boyfriend…
She really loves her boyfriend because with him, she can be a better person and her dreams become come true…
She realizes that time cannot go back and she has to leave all the things with him…
She realizes that there’s no use to looking back to the past time…
She realizes that the important thing is what she should do now…
But, she always keeps her boyfriend in her mind and she will never forget him forever in her life…
I like this song because this song is really make me remember about something in past time that exactly the same with this song…
Its make me remember about “someone” that I love…
Until now, I always try to forget about him, but I always remember about his smile and his kindness…
I really try to forget him anyway…
But the important thing, with this song I learn to face the future without looking back to past time because we cannot fix them…
And also I learn that if we like or love someone, the person that we love has to bring something great to our life (dreams in this song) or make us become a better person… Don’t love someone that can make your life become worst and bring nothing good to your life...
Like a song “Best in Me” by Blue…
The Chorus:
‘Cos you bring out the best in me
Like no-one else can do
That’s why I’m by your side
And that’s why I love you
I’ll write several quotes about dreams…
Some I get from Gogirl magazine and the others from website…
And also several quotes from myself…
“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.”-William Arthur Ward
For me, it means if we’ve already state our dreams in our mind, we definitely can reach that dream (with a very big effort)…
“To dream anything that you want to dream. That’s the beauty of human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to success.”-Bernard Edmonds
For me, it means that it’s natural for human to dream that they want to do… But the important thing is we have to believe in our self and know our potentials… And, it will go to the success…
“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”- Anatole France
For me, it means dreams are important in our life to do and become a big thing in life…
“I have learned that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”- Henry David Thoreau
For me, it means if we have dreams in our life and we follow the right way to reach that dreams, we definitely can go to that dreams and reach an unexpected success…
“No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to flee and fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.”- Jesse Jackson
For me, it means we have to dream as high as we can and there’re no people that can complaint about them… So, we shouldn’t give up reaching that dreams…
“Never hesitate to state your dreams as high as you can. Think it, state it, chase it, do it and you’ll become it. Just believe in yourself”-myself
Definitely know the meaning, right??
For me, it is really interesting and useful…
I’ll write several points that I get from that article…
I think dreams are really important in life…
Because without dreams, we won’t know what direction that we want to go…
But, don’t just dream it, but also we have to do a lot of effort to reach it…
(ps : Thank’s to Gogirl Magazine… I’ve studied a lot from that magazine… Just try to buy it…)
As you know, I love all songs that can inspire me to be better…
But, I have one favorite song that always in my mind forever…
The title is “Someone Watching over Me” by Hillary Duff…
At first, I wasn’t really interested at this song because the tone is not really good…
But, there is an extremely nice meaning inside that song which makes me really love this song…
I’ll copy the lyrics :
"Someone's Watching Over Me"
Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight
Chorus :
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I won’t be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams
Chorus
It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart
Chorus
This song tells that there is a person who has a really big dream and in the way to reach her dream, she found a lot of trouble and one day she wants to run away from that problems…
But, something pulls her back which is her reason to reach that dream…
She forgets that she has that reason…
So, she won’t give up with all of those troubles because she realizes that life is always moving around…
She also wants to be strong and won’t be afraid even it seems there’s no way out because she believes that God always be with her (that’s the mean from “Someone Watching over Me”)…
She believes God has great purpose in her life (that’s the mean of ‘the destiny that shining all the time’), so she will follow the way that God has given to her…
She never looks back to the past time because she knows that she cannot fix that and what she thinks is always about the future and what she have to do now to reach her dream…
She never care about what other people want to say about he dreams (maybe some people say that all of that is impossible) and also about the time for reach that dream…
She just wants to believe to herself that he can reach that dream…
The important thing is only she do the right thing and she always follows her heart because God is always be with her…
For me, this song has a very deep meaning which can make me have spirit again when I’m down…
With just listen to this song and I’ll remember to never give up and always believe that God always be with me…
Sometimes, I love a song not from the tone, music or the band…
I can really love a song just from the lyrics….
If the lyrics are so meaningful and can motivate me to become a better person; although the tone and the music is not good or is sang by infamous singer; I can really love that such that song….
To be honest, I don’t like or sometimes hate love song (although not all love song)…
You know why??
Because sometimes the contents of love song are only sweet words which is a big lie (in my opinion)…
Although I know not all love songs are bad and really come from the composers' deep hearts…
