Ang hirap! Ayoko na!

Nagpapakahirap ako sa wala!

The world is against me na po.

What should I do?

.

Ginawa ko na lahat!

Assignments, projects, ano pa?

Kahit boses ko'y nagging malat

Sa kakabisado ng mga talumpati't tula.

.

The world is against me.

They always thought na I'm nerd.

Na kahit anong gawin ko, they judge me.

That they don't want to hang out with me kasi I'm weird.

.

What did I do?

Kaya ayaw ko mag-approach ng people

Because of what they say I always do.

I'm human too, like those couple.

.

Yes! It made me shy!

But what could you say

On someone like me who always cry

Every hour day by day?

.

Curse the entire subject!

Why are you doing this to me?

For all those fun I reject,

What can you say to me?

.

I am a child

Of no childhood,

Focused on studies,

Every now and then.

.

Academics made me crazy.

It gave me knowledge

Which people often call me crazy.

Is it a big deal to have knowledge?

.

Because of you – Acad,

I became shy.

I want to have fun with people agad-agad

But I don't know how and why?

.

Oh, Acads, you're making me crazy.

Please, Lord, have mercy.

I want to be human

But Acads make me inhuman.

.

What should I do?

Do I need to deceive them?

But whatever I do,

Awards – I always receive them...

.

Is it really wrong?

For all the hardships,

Whether it's right or wrong,

I'm always like this – introvert and shy.

.

I'm speaking my mind.

Yes, I know that.

But I am not blind

For me not to see you treat me like that.

.

Call me crazy, nerd,

Alien, introvert weird,

Robot machine, not human.

I'll accept that for I understand since I'm human.
