Now that they're more threatened by the cries of the youth, they will do everything to dismiss your voices, discredit your efforts, belittle your advocacies. Do not forget what we've started. Go back to the communities and continue the service as we should. Go back to the streets and keep the fight, if we must. They will mock everything you do as if it is not for the country. They will laugh at you for being educated, woke, angry, and liberated, as if it is wrong to demand for a future that is ours. God forbid that unwanted things happen, but do not be afraid to shed. Shed light to those who live in the shadows as the enemy's weapons are ignorance, fear, and dissonance. Shed tears for the injustices, for the abuse, for the abused. Shed blood for our freedom, if we must. They will doubt you until they make you doubt yourselves. They will tag you red, the history they will try to bend. But do not be bent. No matter how many pages they burn, your heart will burn brighter because you are the book being written. You are the history as you uphold history, justice, and freedom. There is no future if there is no history and there is no future without you. You are the clamors in the streets, you are the bars that will imprison the greedy, you are the stories before the ink writes history.

Youth is the History
your beauty put nations into dispute trying to benefit from the rewards of your youth for every treasure there's nothing to spare they used you, abused you, then left you in despair you've welcomed other nations to experience your land but your slaughter is what they've plotted that's what they've planned never have you ever became selfish of your beauty but you failed to discern the hands of the greedy your pillars they shattered into pieces your temples they burned down to ashes you called for gods but it is the gods who are the roots one even turned his back after gaining from your loots you offered so much but they left you nothing but scars you gave them beauty they gave you famine and farce should you have invited Eris? behold, you're the victim of war between these deities whoever obtains this apple is the fairest whoever consumes you will be the greatest war is the immortals' way to argue they saw your beauty but they never saw you one bribed you to rule other nations another bribed you to be the warrior of your fictions then one bribed you with your weakness, your ambitions oh my land, you fell. let me ask you my greatest questions. who are you? have you forgotten your identity? why are you allowing yourself be defined by the words of these false deities why do you still call your oppressor a hero until when are you going to stay on this limbo you are Thetis and Peleus not inviting Eris to avoid strife but you also are the golden apple causing the immortals seek for your life you are Paris being promised of your dreams but you also are Helen the most beautiful woman in the history of regimes you are the war itself, oh my land your destiny resides on your hand you are every character of this myth of your own sword you are the smith

Nothing's in accord So why not a sword No one will hear What then shall I fear Nobody seems to care So why can't I dare There's not even an eye Finally, a chance to fly I'll put my blade upon my vein This will be my final pain A step or two from a building's ledge At last I'll see my life on edge Hanging from the gallows I will swing After this I can spread wide my wings Now my blood rushes over me It's getting dark I can barely see Little by little I'm out of air What have I done please help me spare The light I thought that I will see Is actually darkness, it's consuming me To call for help I want to shout Rescue me, please take me out I was deceived by my ownself's death Plotting it was my biggest regret Whom shall I blame, it is my fault It is my sin that of hope I was short It is my sin, It is my fault It is my fault It is my fault Is it really my fault? No one heard me when I was afraid Is it still my sin that no one cared? Nobody helped when I was frail and weak Nobody knew that my mind and soul was sick Is it my fault that I felt unloved? That no one listened to my deepest sobs These words are what I'm leaving here Make this live, please make them hear I may be forgotten, I may be missed But one last request, let me now rest in peace

Tell me, why am I being so fascinated by a fire? All I see is grace dancing calmly with the wind As if it’s trying to melt me down to my deepest desire I never think of the pain if ever I get burned So bright it calls me to play Not realizing to self-destruction I turned Its purity I adore despite its rage Casualties turned to ashes Its beauty I can’t gauge Consume me, oh fire, till I be gone I will be the fuel Until thy will be done Thy tongue I claim to be mine Burn me to my soul Though your warmth will still be thine Consume me as a whole

Fire
Hot Dark Mocha with Hazelnut I wanted to say something but I forgot I’ve done all my papers but wasn’t satisfied Don’t look for me now; from myself I want to hide Reviewed some of my notes Sudden thought of sinking boats Check the time, it is half after nine Why does this coffee taste like a wine? Recounting my pens, they’re seventeen I drew a line, but it was so thin An old friend came in, I said hi After some while I also said goodbye Been sitting for an hour, it’s already cold What do you think will I be when I’m old? Took the last sip Caffeine makes me want to sleep Seven feet away is a bin, it’s empty Wow, an analogy of me Empty and trash Save me now; rush, hush… crash
