Apa Kau Tidak Punya Mimpi?

Original Submission by Radhia Mustaffa

Apa Kau Tidak Punya Mimpi?

Apa kau tidak punya mimpi?

Sering aku ditanya sedang kata mereka aku punya banyak potensi.

Dan sering kali jawapanku “Aku senang dengan hidup yang ini”

Namun masih ramai yang tidak berpuas hati.

Kata mereka lagi,

Hidup ini harus tetap berjuang sampai mati.

Masih muda, jangan pernah berhenti.

Harus punya mimpi yang mampu menyenangkan hidup kita ini.

Ya, mimpiku hanya mahu hidup aman tanpa bebanan fikiran tiap hari.

Walau pernah beberapa kali bermimpi,

Namun terhenti,

Kerana sering kali dikecewakan, bahkan oleh diri sendiri.
