I Can't Make You Love Me

Prologue

I was sitting underneath a tree as I was recalling everything that has happened to my life. Every moment that has passed that made me stronger, every people that has been a part of me, hurt and molded me, every emotion that I felt, that somehow feels new and served as a path to every decision I made.

But what really caught my attention was a memory when I was in elementary. Grade 5, to be exact.

My teacher was pretty much happy, kasi I made a wonderful poem daw.

Shakespearean Tragedy

In this world where trust can easily be broken,

Where feelings are left unspoken,

In reality where everything has an end

Are you willing to give up on me, my friend?

Imperfect, the best word to describe me,

Having an existence annoying as a bee,

Even personality and attitude is beyond absurd,

Has anyone listened to its voice unheard?

I hate this feeling of being misunderstood

That feeling that no one reaches for you even if they could,

Has been depreciated, weakened and used,

And still I am the person being abstruse?

Before, everything was in the way it is

My heart and soul filled with eternal bliss

I was supposed to be the protagonist of my story

But how come it became all a tragedy?

I smiled bitterly. I guess, the little me back then had an instinct or a vision what may happen to my future.

But I can't help but frown.

Bakit parang umaayon ang lahat sa tula ko?
