Another Ramadhan comes,
But tests are given all the time,
To see whether I am "aware" and "awake,"
Building a simple life is not so simple,
To even have a peaceful moment at this point seems to be wonderful,
Sometimes, you are even awakened from your "standby" mode because of a test,
A test that will determine your level of patience,
Your piouty as a person,
I always failed lately,
To be able to control myself all the time,
Just because a small test,
I failed,
But I will not give up,
I will not stop trying,
For I am to be a better me,
To limit my view,
To limit my words,
To tell myself,
My old self is still inside me,
Only for me to explore and search,
It's far and deep inside,
It's a long struggle.
