an angry poem about climate change; including many facts I learned from my Environmental Biology class.  This isn't a political poem, it's a poem of facts and truths.

Mga pangako **** nakakaakit,
Mga pangako **** nagpapangiti saakin.
Ang pangako mo saakin na "Hindi kita iiwan."
Ang pangako mo saakin na "Hindi kita kayang saktan."
Ang pangako mo saakin na "Tiwala lang sabay tayong tatanda."
Ang pangako mo saakin na "Tayo'y magpapakasal pa at bubuo ng masayang pamilya."
Ang pangako mo saakin na "Ikaw lang at wala ng iba."
Ngunit bakit? Bakit lahat ng pangako mo ay napako? Nasaan ka nung mga panahong nahihirapan na ako? Nasaan ka nung mga panahong kailangan ko ng atensyon mo? Nasaan ka nung mga panahong kailangan ko ng iyong oras? Pasensya na kung maraming tanong na sumasagi sa aking isipan. Pagkagising ko may iba ka na pala di mo manlang nabanggit saakin sobra akong nalungkot nung mga panahong iyon.

Napakatanga ko dahil ako'y naniwala sa mga matatamis **** salita.
Napakatanga ko dahil minahal pa kita.
Napakatanga ko talaga! Bakit pa kasi kita nakilala?
Ang hirap kalimutan ng mga masayang ala-ala nating dalawa, Napakasakit! Sobra parang tumigil ang aking mundo simula ng ika'y nawala.

Naalala ko pa noon lagi mo akong pinapangiti sa tuwing ako'y malungkot.
Lagi mo akong dinadamayan sa aking mga problema.
Lagi mo akong kinukulit at nilalambing.
Miss ko na ang mga panahong iyon, Yung mga panahon na napakasaya nating dalawa para bang wala na tayong pakealam sa mundo.

Bakit ganon? Bakit sa isang iglap bigla nalang itong nawasak?
Bigla ka nalang nawala ng parang bula.
Bakit naging kabaliktaran ang lahat?
Bakit bigla mo nalang ako iniwan ng walang dahilan?

Hindi ko na namalayan na may tumulo na palang luha sa aking mga mata.
Bakit kasi iniisip pa kita?
Bakit hindi ko parin matanggap ang nakaraan?
Bakit hindi parin kita makalimutan?
Ang hirap hirap **** kalimutan! Bakit?
Naiinis ako sa sarili ko dahil hanggang ngayon nagpapakatanga parin ako sayo!
Masaya ka na sa piling ng iba diba? Hindi ko na guguluhin pa.

Kitang-kita ko sa iyong mata kung gaano ka kasaya sa piling niya,
Kung gaano mo siya kamahal,
Kung gaano mo sya iniingatan.
Katulad ng pagtrato mo saakin dati.
Bakit kasi ikaw parin?
Ikaw parin yung taong mahal ko?
Diba dapat na kitang kalimutan katulad ng paglimot mo saakin?
Kelan ba kasi ako mamumulat sa katotohanan na wala na tayo?
Kelan ba ako makakalimot?

Hanggang ala-ala nalang ba ang lahat?
Roses, their sharp spines being gone,
Not royal in their smells alone,
  But in their hue;
Maiden pinks, of odour faint,
Daisies smell-less, yet most quaint,
  And sweet thyme true;

Primrose, firstborn child of Ver;
Merry springtime’s harbinger,
  With her bells dim;
Oxlips in their cradles growing,
Marigolds on death-beds blowing,
  Larks’-heels trim;

All dear Nature’s children sweet
Lie ‘fore bride and bridegroom’s feet,
  Blessing their sense!
Not an angel of the air,
Bird melodious or bird fair,
  Be absent hence!

The crow, the slanderous cuckoo, nor
The boding raven, nor chough ****,
  Nor chattering pye,
May on our bride-house perch or sing,
Or with them any discord bring,
  But from it fly!

I know you think
I wear lipstick everyday
And my hands always
Smell like
Chai tea and raspberries

I know you think
My tongue always
Tastes like
Melted sugar
And peppermint

I know you think
I sleep in the same lace
Underwear
You find me in
On certain Sundays
In the spring
When the air is light
And my jeans
Don't stick
To my thighs

I know you think
I'm larger than life

Above chipped teeth
And bruises
And cigarette ash
And acne

I know you think
My eyes don't turn
Blood red
And poison
When I cry

I know you think
My finger nails
Are always
Freshly painted

And I always wear
A bra
That fits

I know you think
Yoga pants are
My comfy clothes,
Never gray sweat pants
With a faded red stain
Between my legs

I know you think
My calves are always
Soft, hairless, and toned

You think
I wait by the phone
With vanilla incense
Burning in a red robe

But you're wrong
And that's impossible

I won't let you in
Cause I won't be
The one
To shatter
Your whole
Pretty, little world

I'm disgusting
Sometimes

I sleep with
Way too many
Girls and guys

And sometimes I cry so much
My eyelids peel
Til I look like
Leather face
And I don't leave my house
For 8 days

And in those 8 days
I shower
Maybe twice

My skin gets rough
In the winter

Right now
I have a
Pimple on
My left shoulder
And every morning
It looks a little
Meaner

My ***** spill
Out over the top
And the sides
Of my favorite
Sport's bra

And I don't care

I smell like burnt oil
And cheap hair dye
Half of the time

I haven't washed
My sheets in a while
And they smell like
Salt water
And chlorine

You put me up on a pedestal
From which I refuse to fall

So I'll stay here,
Far,
Untouchable

You'll never love me
With sticky tampons
In my garbage can
And half drank beer bottles
On my bedroom floor

I'll stay here,
Far,
Untouchable,

Safe

He is always there right behind
Slowly stepping slowly creeping.
He smiles in the dark
Into my soul he's rapidly seeping.

The darkness I see in him
Is already in me.
This anger needs to drown
Deep in a ****** sea.
This is about my anger that hides behind the stupid medication the doctor prescribes for such a weak mind...
.
In still morning light,
There is new beginning,
Early birds so joyous,
On wings into the sky,
How the sun is painting
A paradise for my eyes.

I will wake into dream,
On this day so spectral,
I will sing with the breeze
And interpret the songs
Of birds in trees a flame,
Sailing into heavens' dawn.

She feels her frailties
Gnawing at one another
Believing that's the escape
From the somber vessel in which they've been trapped
The vessel that constantly strives to set them ablaze
Yearning to free herself
Of these blemishes that keep coming back to haunt her
As if they never really left -
As if they've always just been watching -
From under the bed
Or through the window
Tormenting her with their eyes
That seem darker than the hollows around hers
