If I die in a school shooting
I'll never go home again.
My room will sit unused,
A capsule frozen in time,
A snapshot of how I was.

If I die in a school shooting
I'll never see my dog again.
She will sit at the front door
Waiting for me and wondering,
Why I never came home.

If I die in a school shooting
I'll never graduate from high school.
My yearbooks will sit stacked
Stopped short of their goal,
Missing years that should have been.

If I die in a school shooting
I'll never see my mom again.
She will sit distraught,
Planning a funeral
For a child taken from her.

If I die in a school shooting
I'll never see my friends again.
They'll sit together, missing me.
One empty seat among them,
A constant reminder of their loss.

If I die in a school shooting
I'll never see my little sister again.
She will sit through high school
Knowing I can't guide her through,
That she has to figure it out alone.

If I die in a school shooting
My school will be stained.
Pools of students lives will sit,
Blood tattoos on the brick structures,
Marks of death ground into it.

If I die in a school shooting
Everyone will wear black.
They'll send their thoughts and prayers
To a town marred by death,
Forever to be the home of a shooting.

If I die in a school shooting
Will the world change?
Or will I become one of hundreds  
Of kids who have to die?
What will it take?

If things continue this way
Children will have to live in fear.
They'll look over their shoulders
Always worried and wondering,
If they'll die in a school shooting.
The state of Florida is now home to the two most deadly mass shootings in American history. Pulse Nightclub was attacked in my city, I have friends who attend Marjory Stoneman Douglas in Parkland. My little sister often fears going to school. I'm afraid to graduate and leave her. I want to be able to protect her if something happens. I hate that we have a reason to be afraid... That it's reasonable to have these fears. I hate it so f*cking much.
Sa paningin ko'y ika'y parang santo
At ako nama'y parang g*go
Na palaging hinahanap ang mga ngiti sa mukha mo
Masulyapan ka lamang
Masaya na ako
Ngunit pagkatapos ay babalik din
ang sakit sa aking puso
Wala akong magawa kundi masaktan at magtiis
Kaya ako ngayo'y puno na lamang ng hinagpis
Oo late na ako, nasa piling ka na ngayon
Ng isang taong mahalaga rin sa buhay ko
Kaya kahit anong pilit ko
Hindi magkakaroon ng "tayo"

Sa simula pa lang hindi ko naman ginusto
Na muling tumibok ang aking puso
Dahil takot akong maranasan mo
Ang mga pagkukulang at sakit
Na sinapit ng taong dating minahal ko

Hindi ko naman sinasabing uulitin ko
Ang mga pagkakamaling iyon
Hindi lang mawaglit sa aking isip na
"Paano kung magkulang na naman ako?"

Teka, bakit ba ako nag-iisip pa?
E may mahal ka na namang iba
Sige, hanggang dito na lang ako
Titigil na ako, masaya naman na kayo
Tutal bawal naman "tayo"
Uupo na lang ako
Credits sa owner ng title. Hindi ko alam kung kanino pero thank you
Sa sobrang mapagbiro **** tao
Tumawa ka lang
Nang umamin akong nahulog na ko sayo.
Ginawa **** isa sa mga bagay na tinatawanan mo
Ang pag-ibig na hinahandog ko.
Sinabayan mo pa ng halakhak
At may kasama pang pagluha
Habang puso ko'y binibiyak
Sa itsura ng iyong pagkaaliw
Sa mga binitawan kong salita.
Hinayaan lang kita.
Ang sabi ko
Kahit ginawa mo lang biro
Ang pag-amin ko
Ang mahalaga napangiti naman kita.
Dumalas ang pagsasama natin.
Hindi na ko nagpapatawa
Pero sabi mo kusa kitang napapangiti.
Nakwento mo sakin na
Noong umamin ako
Hindi mo lang alam kung ano
Ang isasagot mo kaya tumawa ka lang.
Ako naman tong napagod na
Sa kakatawa,
Sa mga "pabiro" kong pagsuyo sayo.
Kaya sa wakas,
Ng Dumating ang araw na sinabi ****
Mahal mo na din ako,
Hindi ko alam kung bakit
Pero
Natawa na lang din ako.

why are the people who've never touched us
are also the ones that
leave us the most broken?

someone
one. ****. she'll make you curse a lot.
that's all that'll roll off your tounge everytime you'd want to describe how she makes you feel.

two. that girl is funny. i don't think you can have a bad day if she's around. i don't even think she'll try to make you laugh, i think with her it comes naturally.

three. she'll make you feel alive. you will want to experience it all with no one else but her. she'll keep you at a high you'd never reach on your own. DON'T bring her down with you when you hit rock bottom. DON'T drag her with you anywhere she doesn't belong.

four. she'll sometimes be out of reach. more like, most times. let her be. she deserves all your time. all your days and nights. but only if she asks for it. you should a l w a y s check up on her, though. (ask how her day went. ask her how she's feeling.) make sure her "i'm okay" is sincere. make sure her days are more than just "fine".

five. listen to her. she'll always have something to say about everything, but she won't always say it. listen to her. let her talk about everything she wants to talk about. talk about it with her. i doubt you'll ever have enough of her.

six. when she doesn't want to talk, don't ask her to. be comfortably silent with her when she needs some quiet, but make sure your presence is loud. don't ever make her feel alone.

seven. she's special. treat her like she is. you should n e v e r let her second guess what she means to you. you should n e v e r make her rethink your love for her.

eight. don't go through one day without telling her you love her. she won't believe you, but you should never stop reminding her. she doesn't have to feel what you feel back, but she has to acknowledge that someone out there has her on their mind, day and night. always let her know she's important.

nine. she can be stubborn, and at most times she will be. i have a love/hate relationship with that quality of hers. let her have her own way. don't bug her about her choices. but, keep in mind there's nothing wrong with not agreeing with her sometimes.

ten. don't hurt her. not because she's fragile, but because she doesn't deserve it. for ***** sake, she deserves more than you can ever offer.  and for that, you should give her your all. or at least you should keep trying to

eleven. don't just tell her you trust her, but also show her you do. she won't take your word for it. let her in. open up. spill your heart out to her, and know she'll have her arms wide open. she won't let you seep through.

twelve. she's passionate. i can imagine her eyes gleaming when she talks about what she loves. you can feel it through your phone screen. i'll hunt you down and feed on your flesh if you try to shut her up. yes, she is passionate, but not about most things. and she won't talk about it with everyone. so you better ******* listen when she tries to share this part of herself with you. or leave. ******* leave her if you won't love her right.

thirteen. she's smart as ****. not the lame, "i get good grades" kinda smart. but the kind, that never fails to blow my mind. treasure her brain.

fourteen. i've never seen someone who wants to read as much as she does, but has zero willpower to. read to her. read to her like i've always wanted to, but never got the chance to. whether it be prose or fiction, or some fact you read off the newspaper. never stop reading to her.

fifteen. please, never lie to her. don't make promises you can't keep. you'll lose her. ****. if you lost her, you would lose all that could make your life meaningful.

sixteen. don't give up on her. please, never give up on her. she's not always easy to deal with, and neither are you. but to god, she's worth it. she's worth all of it.

seventeen. you'll never love her more than i do. but you sure as **** need to try your ******* best to make sure you're never the reason behind any of her troubles. don't **** up. don't **** up like i did.
If I wrote it in blood,
would it mean more?
