Twenty-Two

Pretending to be strong is the most difficult thing to do in this stage in my life. I do not know if this is still the so-called existential angst my college professor told me a couple of years ago. I do not even know if I can stand all these--the pressure, the challenges, the abandonment I always find myself in, the feeling of loss and despair. The list could go and on and answers seem to float elsewhere I can't find.

Seeking comfort is something I have always resorted to doing. Tears? They seem to be hiding when you want them out. Friends? Oh well, they’re there I suppose. I just feel so consumed with forcing people to stay if they want to go. I deal with difficulties in different ways: sometimes with hysteria, sometimes in silence, all the time with nobody. There were days when I stare blankly at an empty space hoping I could be as careless and emotion-less as it is. I have always been that pathetic. I even reached the point of forcing people to stay with me even if they wanted to exist without my presence bugging them.

I want to love my self more. I want to learn that art and I am starting from scratch—an empty canvas, an empty self. And in the process of doing such, I know I’ll get to tumble and fall over and over and I can’t stand the thought of me going back to zero. Then again, what’s new?

Where is Poetry?

I have been trying to write a decent poem for like months to no avail. What’s wrong with me? Am I too miserable and dejected to even find words that will rhyme and make sense when combined? Or is poetry trying to castigate me for all the crimes I have committed against it? Either case, I’m half-clueless and half-disconsolate.

Waiting for that Monday Bomb to Come

An uneventful weekend just passed by and tomorrow will bring me again to another series of toil and torment. But I'm lovin' it. No wonder I couldn't care less that I am destined to do more of them in the next few days, weeks, months...

The Bomb? It's that feeling of resentment everytime I close my eyes and think of how bitter a pill this life is.
