"Pangit!"
"Talino ka lang naman!"
"Matalino nga, malungkot naman ang lovelife. Aissh, so boring."
"Pano naman kasi yan magkaka- boyfriend? Tingnan mo nga ang mukha? God! So eww."
That's what I heard everyday I passed by the corridor of the school. Hindi ba sila nagsasawa? Paulit- ulit na lang na para bang hindi ko pa alam? Ever since I entered this school, ganito na ang bumungad sakin. Different foul words saying how ugly I am. How they describe me, I feel more insecure dahil, bakit nga ba hindi na lang ako naging maganda? Oo, matalino ako tulad ng sabi nila, pero para sakin sakto lang yun. Hindi ko naman yun pinagyayabang. Sakin kasi, parang way ko naman yun para naman kahit papano, mapansin ako, to feel that I'm worthy of their attention. Pero, napansin nga yung talino ko, but it was always covered with how I look, and that made me more insecure.
That's why, I want to ask you this,
Can someone listen to me and understand everything about me?
Can that 'someone' be you?
