In Case I Die

The moment you read this, I have come to face my fate.

With a screen before my eyes,
Exposing every micro in me rummaging through my whole system.
A predetermined occurrence.
I have done so much preventives
But t'is the force I had not fathomed.
I have lived my life with so much fear,
My everydayness has shown me despair—mentally, emotionally, physically.

This I apologize for I have come and followed this malady,
For I have not found my strength,
For I have ceased the chance.
I have come across this deepest trench of my life,
The darkest region I could ever go into.

To the fortunate, please take this, and continue my legacy.
It may have succumbed my prowess, but never my soul.


In a world wherever every step is driven by selfishness, never hesitate to create your universe and never stop indulging yourself with metaphors.

 The hatred is piled up, enough to orchestrate a crime  and to hide it in nightmarish metaphors. I have imagined you getting piercing through the fragility of the roof of your mouth, until you beg for forgiveness with your really untamed spirit. Perhaps, flaying would be much better, but crying will be reverberated through every corner of your long shattered room, as your annoyingly pleading voice will still be heard. An unforgivable, hell-bent serpentine, you always are, caressing the man’s ego extracting his exhaustion, and me against a fiend in your presence. Such a soft way to demonstrate hell to you— as it was not even a flinch, or a poke. You deserve heaven appearing reverse, so the gods you have known will forbid your salvation.

24?

"Twenty-four seems scary," I tell myself. Sometimes, I tell jokes, or mostly, it was conveniently told, like how a laugh returns and  introduces itself as villainous friend, but an enemy is the positivity that takes. It is so much scarier when it visits me: a quicksand brought by faux geniuses, a peeking sock-made puppet,  I am a whole drama— a ventriloquist of his own dreams. Delighted by my father's cake: "Happy birthday, son!"  I still know how to stay still  when everybody sings me one.  My Mom gave me bills: Money is an angel.  Indeed, for it lets me fly out of the reality— out of reality that everything  is still made of infinite loops,  as in manmade experiments, and how they can be destroyed by one gentle blow.

Lualhati

Lualhati sa ama, ilawan ang ina ng mga batang lumalaban sa lansangan. Lualhati sa mga anak na   mula sa dekadang sumupil,   sa kanilang bukang-liwayway ang naging sandigan. Babae ang dangal, lalaking iniluwal;   lalaking hinugot sa tadyang,   ang kaniyang hiningang pagál. Walang-saysay yaring libong dasal-pulang láso man o kalimbahing asal ng dekadang pinipigilan sa pag-usal. Sa bukang-liwayway ang kalayaan; Ang nakaambang pagdatal ng daluyong mula sa rumaragasang dugo  at ang lapot nitong nakakubli sa mga páhina ng mga dustang aklat. Ang wikang tinta, tonong pagsamo't pakikibaka,  ang aking taál. Lualhati sa mga ama, sa mga anak na hindi pa naluluwal; legasiyang sumibol, higit pa sa mga pilas ng mga akda. Lualhati sa espiritung sa kanya'y tatahak,  at sa sansinukob niyang walang magtatangkang yuyúrak.
