One of my favourite Goethe Poem. The bleak ambience and the story makes me weep. If you don't understand German, no problem, there's an English translation down there. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)

Emang sih aku bukan jenis orang yang selalu dijailin pas ulang taun. Liat aja flashback ultah aku tiga tahun ke belakang. 2009 (17th birthday) Tidur di rumah.

Masalahnya akting mereka -terutama Emma- sungguh jelek sampai aku langsung sadar mereka sedang jailin aku. Pas pulang sekolah, tiba-tiba aku DITABOKIN, dalam arti sebenarnya, oleh satu atlet taekwondo (Ditta), satu preman Cikaso (Emma), satu praktisi tenaga dal...
