Life

“Sometimes life will contain you in an empty bottle.
Leave you like you’re a melting candle.
Laugh at you like you lose a battle.
Tease you
Disgrace you
Pity you
Blame you
Hate you
Kill you

Life is like that.

Cruel
Rude
Selfish
Evil

Life is like that.

Immature
Totally numb
Infallibly sad
Inevitably meaningless
Ruthless
Irresponsibly careless
Unwillingly forgiving

Life is a real pain.”

A drowning-into-extreme-insanity man uttered.
Jittering.

“Sometimes, it is.
That’s why it’s called ‘LIFE’.
But it’s not just about annoyance but patience.
Not just about hurting but painstaking.

Life is like that.

Drive it and you’ll find humps everywhere.”

The same man replied to himself.
Approving. Smiling.

"Kaya kayang pawiin ang pangamba na masaktang muli?
Palitan ng saya ang mga luhang kaytagal pinigil?
Mangarap na tila walang sablay na maaabot ito?
Paligayahin ang sarili na tila wala nang bukas?
Ialay ang buhay sa ngalan ng pag-ibig hanggang sa huling himlay?

Hanggang saan ang kayang arukin?
May sukat nga bang katumbas ang bawat ligaya?
O sadyang mahirap unawain ang taong ang nais lamang ay maging masaya sa paraang nais niya?"
