PASASALAMAT

Likas na sa tao ang magpasalamat. Kaya gagamitin ko itong prebilehiyo upang buong puso kong pasalamatan ang mga naging inspirasyon ko para makagawa ng mga sulating pampanitikan at nawa’y magsilbi itong behikulo para mapabuti ang kung anuman ang meron ako.

Sa lahat ng mga taong nagbigay sa akin nang anumang klaseng inspirasyon – batid man ninyo o hindi – salamat. Hindi dahil sa ayaw kong isa-isahin ang inyong mga pangalan ngunit baka may makalimutan ako at baka ito pa ang dahilan para ako’y inyong kamuhian. Nagpapasalamat rin akong lubos sa aking mga magulang sa walang sawang pag-iintindi sa aking mga kamalian. Inspirasyon ko kayo dahil kahit gaano pa kahaba o kaikli ang daang aking tinatahak, nagsisilbi kayong tanglaw at gabay para makarating nang matiwasay sa aking paroroonan at higit sa lahat sa Maykapal na tanging nakaaalam sa kwento ng aking buhay.

An agony of the loss to his brother who had no choice


Someone…

Someone asked me,
Do you really care of my existence?
I cried “hell no”
Shut your mouth
And empty that thought
For the pains I felt when we fighting
For the troubles I made when you were insane
For the merciless I took and the sorrows with no sake
Now, tell me
Should I bother of your existence?


He tearfully replied
How about my loss
Would you cry?
For a bit
I was speechless
And then a moment came by
He hugged me tight
And left me behind
Still I was anxious
Breathless
My heart beat slowly
My system was gone suddenly
For a second
I freed

The ideas were flashing on my mind
It could not be
That someone was my brother
He was my brother
For whatever reason
We were of the same kind
Even my folks loved him so terribly
Much as they do love me

I ran as fast as I could
But a light covered his whole
Until I saw him nowhere
Even eyeing on the horizon so cruel

I kneeled down
I prayed
I murmured
I wished
I asked for acceptance
And for forgiveness

And then out from the middle of my bitterness
Someone appeared like he could hear me saying
And see me being
Someone tapped on my shoulder
And quietly uttered
I am now gone forever
As you always wanted

When I was still alive
I was someone to all
But no one only to you
And now you are calling me someone?

Isn’t it ironic?
You only see my worth
Now that I am cold and dead
For my soul departed from my gross
I am now no one
Still remain no one
Until the end of time

Now,
I dare to ask
Would you care if I would exist
Even if I am no longer


…someone?
