HINDI IKAW by Jerome Lois Esguerra

Hindi baril mo ang makapagliligtas sa akin

Posas mong tangan sa'yo mo rapat gamitin

Naturingang bantay kapayapaan ngunit naging alagad ng dilim

Kapag kayo na ang kriminal, sino nga ba ang nararapat tawagin?

Hindi presensya mo ang aking kaligtasan

Madalas nga'y natatakot ako kapag ikaw ay nariyan

May kakikilala pa nga akong walang kasalanan ngunit binalitang nanlaban

Tanong ko'y paano manlalaban ang walang kalaban-laban?

Hindi uniporme mo ang dapat tingalain

Dahil unang-una ay alam mo rapat kung paano 'yan suotin

Hindi iyan prebilehiyo na ipagmamalaki matapos abusuhin

May responsibilad ka sa bayang nagbibigay sa iyo ng makakain

Uulitin ko, hindi baril mo ang makapagliligtas sa akin

Lalo na't hindi mo alam kung paano at para saan ba dapat gamitin

Hindi presensya mo ang aking kaligtasan

Lalo na't hindi mo nalalaman kung sino ba ang nararapat protektahan

Hindi uniporme mo ang nararapat tingalain

Lalo na't isang kunwaring inosenteng pagyuko lang din ang iyong gagawin matapos kang may patayin

Nagsalita ako kahit hindi ako ang nakaranas

Hindi ito pakikisawsaw, isa itong liham kung sakaling hindi na rin ako abutin pa ng bukas

May mas malalang sakit ang bansa kaysa kumakalat na sakit na walang lunas

Kung hindi ito magagamot, kawawa ka naman Pilipinas.

Bakit Sya?

"Bakit siya?" "Kasi alam niya yung ingay kung bakit ako tahimik". Matagpuan mo rin sana ang taong handa kang makabisa sa sandaling hindi ka naiintindihan ng iba. Alam kung paano ka mapakalma at sanay kang pasanin kapag hindi mo na kaya. Dahil madaling makakita ng taong kaya kang sabihan nang paulit-ulit ng 'mahal kita' Ngunit ang makatagpo ng taong kabisado at uunawa sa iyo talaga— mahirap nang makakilala.

Stay

I hope you find the courage to step away from the things that aren't good for you. I hope you find the strength to let go of the person who feels like "the one" but doesn't work out for you, all along. I hope you find the will to throw away all your what-ifs from the open doors that could lead you to a wrong path. I hope you find peace in accepting that "just because it's beautiful, doesn't mean it's meant for you." And in the end, I hope you still believe that your heart, your feet, and your dreams will eventually find a place where they truly belong.

My Inner Self 🩷

The truth is that people believe they know you, that you're okay or that you're in a position where you're proud of yourself and optimistic about how things are going for you. They believe you're fine because they interpret things based on their perception and connect certain facts they believe they are comfortable with to paint a picture of you based on their vision, unaware that this is all an illusion. Because you are aware of how exhausted you are from having so many thoughts racing through your head, you are weary of showing empathy, you are tired of being the one who understands, and you are tired of the weight you are carrying inside your chest so you only divert on particular things in order to survive. And if you make just one error, all the good things you accomplished in the past is lost forever. Let people misunderstood you Allow people to perceive you negatively and incorrectly. You're living this life to be authentic and not to develop into a perso...
