《Spoken Word Poetry (Compilation)》"Ma, Pa"
Advertisement
Hindi ko alam kung paano mag-uumpisa,
Dahil gusto ko na lang ay matapos na.
Gusto ko nang magpahinga.
Ayoko nang magkamali pa,
Nakakatakot na.
Bawat galaw ay mahalaga,
Kailangan perpekto para hindi makarinig ng mura.
Pero paano ba ang perpekto?
Kailangan kong malaman para maging proud kayo.
Bawat gabi ay iniiyak ko,
Na hindi ko mabigay ang gusto niyo.
Perpektong anak lang naman ang gusto niyo pero hindi pa mabigay ng tulad ko.
May nakakaalam ba kung paano maging perpekto?
Kung meron, pakituruan naman ako.
Gusto kong maging perpekto para sa inyo.
Siguro hindi na kayo magagalit sa'kin kapag perpekto na 'ko.
Siguro magiging proud na kayo sa akin kapag wala ng mali sa ginagawa ko.
Sigurado akong mararamdaman ko ang pagmamahal niyo kapag perpekto na 'ko.
Kaso pasensya na kasi hindi perpekto 'yung anak niyo.
Mahal niyo pa rin ba ako kahit hindi ako perpekto?
Mahal niyo pa rin ba ako kahit ito lang 'yung kaya ko?
Ma, Pa, napapagod na po ako.
Pwede po ba akong magkamali kahit minsan?
Hindi po kasi ako perpekto.
Pwede po ba akong masaktan?
Mahina lang po kasi ako.
Huwag niyo na po akong pagalitan.
Sugatan na ang aking palapulsuhan,
Gusto nang bumigay ng aking katawan,
At ayaw ko nang lumaban,
Pero hindi pwede dahil alam kong hindi niyo naman ako maiintindihan,
Baka magtaka kayo kung bakit ko winakasan.
Sana kahit minsan,
Sinubukan niyong isipin ang aking nararamdaman,
Baka doon ay inyong maintidihan,
Na kayo mismo ang dahilan kung bakit ako nasasaktan.

Margrave's Divinity (Rewrite)
Power always comes with a price. Seventeen years ago, obsidian towers thousands of feet tall erupted from the earth near the world’s population centers. Strange magic accompanied their appearance—powerful and inexplicable abilities granted to lucky humans, called Embers for the burning in their eyes. Lyle isn’t lucky, though. When the recently-unemployed college dropout finally manages to get his hands on a Cinder, he is utterly disappointed to find that he will never be an Ember like his father or brother. Before he even has time to process his failure, a strange Ember shoves him through a tear in reality and into the cave of a dragon, where the titanic beast claims to be an ancient goddess of myth and legend. She has a gift for him, but it comes with a warning. War is coming. --- Posting Thursdays and Sundays at 8am Central. Confused about the rewrite? See my letter to previous readers here.

Flawsome
>> Featured Staff Pick on Tapas.io! “Imagine someone who likes you so much, they make you like yourself.” Looking at sixteen-year-old Neo Favre, there isn't anything to point out that would explain him being heavily bullied. He has loving parents, a healthy amount of sibling rivalry to overcome every day. He can be funny, he is nice, he isn't an annoying know-it-all nerd. He's just like any other teenager attending Haven Highschool. Except one thing; Neo suffers from OCD, and his irky habits are solely the reason for his classmates to make fun of him. But as much as he tries to hide his annoying habits of counting literally everything, entering a class without touching the floor right in front of the first desk, tapping light button's to the beat of "we will rock you" and any other small tic, his fellow students know, and they use it to bully him endlessly. Neo just wants it all to end, but right when he worked up the guts to put his actions where his mouth is, Calo show's up to save the day, and maybe his week. And who knows, maybe even his life.
