PoW: The Unknown Nation by Anggita Khansa Paramitha

The Unknown Nation

Once I lived in a dream within a dream
Everything seemed like reality yet was so unreal
I was addicted to it – I refused to even say it was a dream
Everything was beautiful and so surreal

Until one day I saw your shattered soul
In both dream and reality
So, I tried to pick those pieces up
As if playing a puzzle game

Yet little do I know
The effects of picking those pieces from reality
Became such a boomerang at the end
It had traps which chained me in reality
Far from my land of the dream within a dream

I Can’t go back and the regret of course lingers
But the curiosity of when I started it haunts me till the end
So, I kept walking, till today
Wondering of what other story might happen at the end

Where is my destination ?
No one knows
But I’ll call that place “The Unknown Nation”

Poet’s Note: Hello, I’m Anggita Khansa Paramitha but people know me as Anggie or Gie.

This poem of mine was inspired by my own struggles and experience in which I often can’t face with new things that is in front of me in achieving my goals and to get through life. I like to dream and imagine of beautiful scenes but in certain circumstances reality often locks me up from those things even sometimes makes me confused about what my future will look like. I am an over thinker whom often gets anxious out of dealing with those struggles, but although so as the line saying-

“But the curiosity of when I started it haunts me till the end”

It means I won’t stop in learning and trying to dig more about what this life has. I’m curious of my own life ending, and even though I still struggle even till I’m old, I won’t stop walking in my life’s path and find the place which I called “The Unknown Nation” that can mean True Passion or even different things that contains in the future time.
