Hush!
A knock at the death's door.
The hags squinted eyes to look at their new companion.
They gasped,
He was so puny, not compatible.

The walls mocked at him,
His steps echoing through the deadly hushed alley.
Subdued him by constant murmurs.

This was completely different,
People with burns, people with cuts,
Many had henious marks, flesh hanging loose from body.
He wanted to *****, but his body was off the limits.

The guards of death poked him,
Urging him to move.
The hall was stuffed, horrifying voices shook it.
'Ah! One more kid. I am tired of such cases.' The voice came from the centre.

'Explain, kid?' The voice was monotonous.
'I was to go heaven. I don't belong here.' He shrieked.
'You are not to decide where to go. There's no free will here.'

He was pious, always inclined towards good,
Then why such a harsh punishment.
'Kid you were mistaken when you wasted what was most precious.' The king said.

He wasn't wrong.
God had been wrong to him, giving him miseries at every path.
Did he do anything to suffer that much. No.

Living was better than dying.
'Millions more thought the same. And you belong to the same lot.
You had fifty more years to enjoy and look, now where does it make you land.'

A thousand years weren't a short period to ponder over his crime.
It pained him every time,
Thinking of many things he could have been a part of.
Some spontaneous decisions can make us regret for eternity.

Ba’t siya pa?
Ba’t hindi nalang iba ?
Ba’t sa kanya kopa to nadama
Jusko ayoko na tama na

Ginawa kona ang lahat
Pero hindi pa pala sapat
Alam ko namang sa pag ibig mo ako’y di karapat dapat,
Pero sana naman wag mokong iwan at ituring na parang kalat

Kasi kahit na ganito
May pinag samahan naman tayo,
Diba naging matalik na kaibigan moko?
Pero bakit ganito?

Mga ginawa koba’y kulang?
Oh sadyang manhid ka lang?
Andito ako nag pupumilit na mapansin mo
Pero ang atensyon mo naka tuon sa ibang tao

Di pa tapos ang tula kong ito
Andami ko pang mga bagay na gustong itanong sayo
Katulad ng bakit siya? At hindi nalang ako?
Ba’t mo pa pinadama na parang minahal mo ako?

Ganon parin pala
Sa huli ako parin pala ang talo
Nagwagi siya sa paligsahang ito
Siya ang taong binigyan ng ganting pala

Siguro kasalan ko din to
Dapat pala natuto nako
Dapat na kita ko na ang mali ko sa simula palang nito
Di pa sana nadurog tong puso ko

Dito kona tatapusin to
Alam ko na iba ang mahal mo
Kaya ako’y gigising na sa panaginip nato
At kusang lalayo na sa inyo
First ko po tong upload. Be gentle po sakin
Ito po ay dinidekada ko sa pinaka matalik kong kaibigan na sa huli ay inibig ko

— The End —
