Me

When my time has come
I want no one to cry
Not even you

No need for the weep and tears

I am but a wild animal
Driven out of the herd

Let bullets pierce my skin
I'll fight 'till I win

Wounds and poisons I take a flee
A flee
'Till I let pass pain and misery

And I won't give a damn tear

I want to live a thousand more years

(Translation by Affiq from the poem Aku by Chairil Anwar. )
