I'm walking about 5 hours,  it took me km from home to I don't know where the place is.  I just let my feet decide to make the steps where it can far go. I encountered lots of people passing by, no one make a glimpse of me, no one gave me a smile. People are seemed so busy and no one care about their surroundings. There is no air to breathe,  there are no words left,  there are no tears to cry, there are no works to be done, I'm numbed and dumbed. how can I listen but not hear?  and then a  girl caught my attention sitting on bleacher, pre occupied, she looks down in the dumps and shattered.  I feel a sudden exhaustion so i sit beside her.  I heard her  whimper. "Mas mabuti pang mamatay kaysa mabuhay na araw araw kang pinapatay, "

I looked at her in shocked.

"How can you so sure that death is better than living in a worst?  Did you died once?" I scrutinize her.

She smiled at me.

"I died, 5 hours ago."
