Wordsmith


Every letter, word, and phrase you touched is like holding a cuprite mineral that heals each person's wound from the picture of traumatic reality. Then suddenly, this huge success of possessing such power becomes a dragon's bile, but it's too late to throw it out because you ignored their voices when they called for your name, and even let their hands go when they tried to pull you up from the quicksand-like fame. You tried so hard to think what you can do for fame without realizing what fame can do to you. Are you happy to see how far you are right now from the starting line, even if this present you is covered with unsettled issues, insecurities, and hate? You might not realize that this is your story, until you have the courage to go back from where you started even if it got ugly.

Sa mundo kung saan ako nabubuhay, lahat nang nakikita ko ay parang mga mumunting dyamante na kumikislap, lahat ay naayon sa gusto ko, walang pupuna at walang mang-aagaw ng spotlight hanggang sa napagtanto kong hindi na pala ako ankle-biter, kailangan ko nang subukang umalis sa mundo ko. Ngunit puno ako nang pangamba sapagkat ang mundo kong perpekto ay ibang-iba sa mundong nakikita ko, puno ito ng mga tinik: nariyan ang mga ingay sa bawat sulok; mga inggitan at siraan; mga away sa kalsada; at syempre ang krimen.

Bagama't inabot ako ng maraming taon bago ako nakapag-desisyong lumabas ng mundo ko, dahan-dahang humakbang ang aking mga paa, nakikiramdam ngunit handang-handa nang makarating sa mundo kung saan mababawasan ang pagiging introverted ko, at makakilala ng mga taong gagabay, at tutulong sa'kin para malampasan ko lahat ng bagay na pinagkakabahala ko noon.

Ikaw, hihintayin mo bang lumapit ang mundo sa'yo o ikaw na mismo ang lalapit sa naghihintay na mundo?

COMMENT/S:

I commend you for your wordplay. Mahusay yung first four sentences, pero nung dumating na sa panghuli, medyo biglang naputol yung momentum ng story. Malabo kasi para sakin yung huling pangungusap. Hindi rin masyadong klaro yung connection ng entry sa picture na in-assign sa inyo, though, medyo may nakikita naman akong kaunting koneksyon. Sa tatlong entries na nandito sa team na 'to, para sa'kin, eto rin yung may pinaka-weak na tema. Makikita naman ang tema, pero hindi ganun kalakas, 'di gaya nung dalawa pang entries. Pero as a story, sa tingin ko, malaki pa ang pwedeng maging potential ng five-sentenced story na 'to. Good job! Isaw para sa iyo.
