When Melancholy Strikes...


Lights off.
12:28am on my watch.
Everybody's found rest along with a summer rain.
Inside my room, listening to somber music.
Everything was darkness,
Except for the bogus light that came from an entity brought about by human intelligence.
I looked at the mirror and I can't see my self.
Seriously, I can't see the real me.
Perhaps due to the ambiance's saturation.
I looked again.
I recognized a different person.
I saw a gush of tears.
Copious emotions were coming out of that person's soulful eyes.
Would you tell me who I am?
Would you tell me where I have been?
And please, tell me what I have become, would you?
I was trying to understand what had happened, but I failed.
I tried to recollect from the past but it's just purely contrite thoughts I was getting.
When will realization come into existence?
Would it take longer than the time for a theory to become a law?
I wish it wouldn't because I want it now. I need it now.
But that's the way it is, as whispered by a psyche of nowhere inside me.
I need to get through a lot of sacrifices.
A lot of proof should be defended.
I wish I just have to draw a line.
I wish it's just as candid as singing a song.
I wish I could have just listened to a subtle violin passage.
Oooh how I wish it could be as easy as that and everything will be all right...

yeah..possibly. pero sa pagkakaalam ko stable ang varicella. hindi xa prone for mutation unlike the flu virus (almost yearly ang pagpapalit ng strain) and corona (na kapag nagmutate e nagiging cause ng sars)...

Thanks, lucas.
Yup I know I'll get through this one, of course by God's grace.
Salamat ulit.

hahai. di lang naman kasi acads, mara. lahat naghalu-halo na. pero salamat sa sinabi. oo tama ka, kung iisipin hindi naman ganunn kalaki ang impact nito sa buhay ko (kung angtinutukoy mo eh yung acads ko). naku, there's more to life than acads sabi nga. at hindi naman talaga siya ang priority ko. malungkot nga lang kasi dahil dun, yung iba kong priorities eh nacocompromise. pero salamat sa sinabi mo.
