Literary: Mga Tanong Na Hindi Ko Masagot




May mga tanong sa isip ko kung bakit ako ganito ngayon,
Mga tanong kung bakit sa paggising ko’y masakit ang aking puso,
Mga tanong na magbibigay rason kung bakit pa rin ako umiiyak,
Mga tanong kung bakit bigla ka na lang nawala sa piling ko.

Ilang taon ang lumipas bago ko nararamdaman na unti-unti na akong nakalalaya.
Nakalalaya ako mula sa malala kong pagluksa.
Ilang taon bago ko mapigilan ang mga maalat na luha,
Ngunit ang sakit pa rin ay malala.

Bakit ka nga ba nawala?
Bakit mo ako iniwan?
Bakit hindi mo ako hinintay?
Bakit, Mama?

Ilang minuto na lang bago ako makarating sa’yong kwarto,
Ngunit bakit hindi mo ako hinintay?
Hayaan mo,
Malaya ka nang namamahinga.
Mapayapa.
Tahimik.

Ito na ang simula para tanggalin ang sakit na nararamdaman ko,
Kahit anong mangyari’y hindi ka mawawala sa isip ko.
Paalam, Mama.
Ikaw ang forever love ko.

Literary: A Feeling




A giant pegasus broke its left wing,
Unable to fly and move—losing the hope of
Moving on.
The pegasus wanted to go to the east,
To find his purpose,
To make a new life,
And to search for a nurse that could heal his broken wing.
Unable to flinch,
One crocodile went near the pegasus,
Making the pegasus feel uncomfortable and scared,
Scary, pegasus says in his mind.
For he thinks it’s impossible to win against him.
Looking at the crocodile’s figure—
Pegasus thought:
Huge, masculine… But at the same time,
He looks empty.
“I’m as broken as you, fellow pegasus,”
Crocodile muttered under his breath, scaring the pegasus.
“How did you know that I’m broken?”
The Pegasus asked, completely clueless.
“Your wings,”
The crocodile said,
“It’s broken, pegasus. However, the level of brokenness between us isn’t the same.”
Confused, Pegasus continued to ask more questions.
“What do you mean, crocodile?”
“You’re broken physically,”
Crocodile said quietly.
“I’m broken emotionally.”
Pegasus was speechless.
The silence between them was awkward.
He doesn’t even know what to say
For he has not experienced emotional brokenness.
“You know,”
Crocodile huffed,
“there really are things that don’t go as planned
as we thought it would be.”
