Hello, good Evening…
Firstly, of all, I'd like to make a confession before it goes too far…
I actually write to avoid being in this situation…
Yes, I grew up as a doubtful, shy and even fearful child.
I remember that I cried every time I met strangers and made an eye contact with them…
So that I grew up and became hate humans.
Yes, I was actually like that, I even communicate with my mom by sending letters though we lived in the same house…
I had to hide from many people…
And that made me spent my childhood in my grandpa's room…
I got lucky because my grandpa had a little rack with about 200 books in it.
And I clearly remember that in my 4th grade, I had read all the books (in the rack)
I actually enjoyed talking to people but not in front of them so…
I guess that the most safety way to do that is by writing and reading.
I moved from 1 school to another during my elementary and junior high school because I was looking for a good library (at school) to hide…
Because I dislike being in front of people…
A good teacher for me is a teacher who never asked me to come to the front if they wanted to tell something…
So, this is a big challenge for me because for me, writing and talking are two completely different matters.
As I have shared earlier about my childhood that as not happy as other children in general…
I was born with a heart malfunction which made me cannot go anywhere…
I then grew up as a teenager who actually hated my childhood…
One day, I got lucky because when I moved to another school, I found a poetry book written by Soebagyo Sastrowardoyo titled "Symphony 2" …
And I felt like, wow there is a person who writes short (sentences) but there is a lot to tell…
And then I felt like, oh this is the way that I can continue my childhood which I hated once, with the way that I enjoy…
And I thought that building my childhood could be by writing, so I eventually learned how to write poetry since junior high school…
And from there, I felt like in the beginning, poetry is like a prayer.
I happened to be a student in Islamic school but then I ran away from my school…
But in my (Islamic school) I was always taught that prayer can calm you down, and my Islamic school was far away from home…
That made me had to separate with my grandma, the only person I trusted that I could talk to during my junior high school.
So, then I felt that poetry has the same function as prayer.
It made me shorten myself and my freedom…
I always feels that there are so many things in my life that make me become (a person) I don't want to.
Although it wasn't a long period when I was in Islamic school, (only) 2 years…
But then there were so many things that I learned from Islamic school, for example…
One of my questions when I was a kid, which also made me write poetry was, why we cannot interrupt during Friday preach if we disagree with something?
Or, why I cannot complain to a teacher if they tell something that I didn't want to hear (as a child)?
And then I felt that the truth according to everyone has its own way for them to say it.
Why I felt that when I found poetry "Symphony 2" was important because I felt that the poetry actually said something massive…
But with the way that letting its readers find it themselves.
So, it was like a small thing when we enter it, there are so many things in there, which something that we find in there depends on what we bring in there…
I rarely talked to my mom, but there was one day when my mom said that words can be used for dancing, drawing and music…
I thought at that moment that she lied because it might just her reason as I really wanted to be a musician or a painter when I was a kid…
But then my mother said that. My mom was only a small vendor in (traditional) market from village who couldn't afford to buy a guitar and painting tools.
But then slowly, I felt that what my mom said was true with how I proved that playing with words can draw, words can be interesting music instruments…
And I began to do that because I want to prove and I felt sorry because I said my mom a liar and felt that I had to prove it…
And from there, I started to grow as an introvert person and playing words by writing.
Second of all, because I didn't have any friends, so I wanted to write about everything surrounds me…
If I saw a window, I asked people or I read books about the function of window, but then I felt that oh maybe a window has different function.
Then I felt that window is a world consists of variety things…
So, all the small stuffs surrounding made me then wanted to create a new world to a child inside of me who wanted to live in his own way.
And by writing it, I actually hope that when they read it, they think that this small stuffs isn't as small as what they think…
These small stuffs can be bigger than what they imagine.
Every time I see a sandal on the road for example, I raise a question, "where is the other sandal?"
Then I imagined if I was a sandal and my other half was drifting in a river, how does it feel?
But then I sandal that I found on the road wasn't become a only sandal, but it became something different.
From there, I then learned that poetry is actually, even though it's small, but it could be a safe place to communicate truth in each version of everyone.
For example, people always think and say that, "wow Aan can be a school champion though he has no father"
It was like praising, (my father left me when I was a kid), but it was a tough punishment for me.
Because they praise me, but then they hit by saying "though he has no father" …
So, it was hurtful. Other people might react differently when they hear the sentence.
But then it was something that I really wanted to tell adults that it was a hurtful punishment for me.
So, I thought on how I tell my mom that such thing was a hurtful matter?
While my mom saying (the words) with pleasure…
And I think that poetry has the power to tell such thing, such truth.
But because I ran away from Islamic school, I also felt that poetry actually doesn't meet anyone to assure one certain thing…
Poetry is like a home-->made of questions.
So, I don't offer any answer in there, but I expect everyone who enters there, they find something the looking for depends on what they bring.
For some people, writing poetry, especially after AADC (Ada Apa Dengan Cinta --> Movie), they said that "Wow Aan is so romantic", it was like writing poetry is enjoyabl…
Or (they think) that everyday Aan sit by the window, thinking out loud, have a cup of coffee, etc., that is how we think about poet.
In fact, writing poetry for me is a tough struggle.
In poetry, I always try to avoid myself, because writing poetry is actually useless if I'm the only person who thinks about it.
So, writing poetry is not only to say something but also a matter of tell a story.
How the reader can find something that they looking for.
And it means that I have to be myself and avoid myself at the same time.
And something that felt, I grew up in 100% Bugis Moslem community…
I got bullied because of the letter M in front of my name which not sounded as Bugis (people).
And I felt that after writing thousands of poetry, one thing I learned from poetry is, people when they read poetry, they are not asked "What is your religion?"
Poetry makes me dance with a person who I've never seen they hands before…
Poetry makes me meet with so many people without having to think their background (where they come from, which tribe they are) …
So, I felt that poetry is actually my way or medium which makes my short little hands close enough with something that I cannot hug.
But one questions that I often ask myself, "What makes me writing poetry until now?"
I think if I know the answer I might quit writing poetry since years ago.
But I think that everything that I write in poetry is actually the reflection of my sadness because I cannot find the right words to say something.
So, it is my failure to find something, to find things that I am looking for, big questions in my life.
So actually, it is not only I write poetry because I failed to be a musician and painter, but also my poetry read by others is actually my failure in many things.
I always felt that writing is my way to find out more many things, or things that I really want to know…
Instead of telling what I already know to others.
But once again, it is usually mentioned in this Talk that this is the place where people looking for inspirations.
I apologize because I share everything about my failures and I don't even know many things and but I guess one thing…
That the fact I learn to imitate poetry when I found a poetry book, but something that I learn the most is because I fail to imitate all things that I wanted to.
All poets tell me that only Sapardi who can be Sapardi, only Soebagyo Sastrowardoyo who can b Soebagyo, only Rendra can be Rendra, only Tukul can be Tukul.
By reading all the poets, I know that they helped me to identify slowly all the matters that are not me, for then maybe one day can find who I am.
I don't dare to say that poetry is me or everything I write is me, but at least I think it is a way to go there. I think that's it. Thank you.
