Lumilipas ang mga araw at gabi
ngunit ako'y nagliliwaliw sa tabi;
wala sa isip ang mga minimithi
tagos sa isip ang mga pangyayari.
Walang ibig na sarili ay magwagi,
walang nais na relasyon ay matahi,
walang kahit anumang gusto mangyari,
tanging hiling ay sa gilid mamalagi.
Ngunit sino ba ako sa ating lipi
na isiping ang puso ko'y walang tali,
na walang sinumang makapagsasabi,
na matamis na yakap ang aking mithi?
Isa nga lang ba itong pagkakamali?
Ang 'di inaasahang pananatili
ng iyong halik sa aking mga labi.
Aking mga emosyon, dapat ikubli.
//You ask, "what happens when you've got something in your mind for a long time"? Well, it silently and slowly invades the whole of your mind, prohibiting you from focusing on the things you really want to do. You feel lost. You feel as if you're floating in a sea of nothingness. You try to scream but you don't because you know that no one's gonna hear you and that no one's gonna answer you. You do everything you think you're capable of doing to think about something else but you can't make yourself. You just can't.
In the end, you just lie down and let that something stay in your mind. No matter how much you wish to forget and erase every bit of it, you just let it be because there's nothing else you can do. It prances around, dances and jumps. Sometimes, it makes fun of you but you simply lie, tired of trying to do anything about it because you realize that nothing, your hands can do, is going to change anything but more importantly, because you know time will pass and soon, time will take away a part of that something, and some of the pain it brings your anxious soul.
