Magic.
Is there any such thing like magic?
I wonder if magic really exist.
And if yes, will it bring peace to human kinds? Or will it trigger them to become greedy that will result to a war?
What if magic exist?
When I was young, I always want to have magic. To have that power coming out from my palms. Doing the things that only immortal humans can do.
Does the tree we see everyday is made by magic?
What about the rivers? Oceans? Lake?
What about the plants? The flowers that grows beautifully? The fruits that grows bountifully? Nariyan ba sila dahil sa mahika?
O ang mga hayop? Every living things and non-living things, do they exist just because of magic?
I also wonder that what if, I'm a princess, lost years ago?
That I'm not a normal person?
That I lived in those breath taking castle?
That I sleep on those majestic bedrooms, eat using those sparkling things?
That I used to play on a garden full of wonderful flowers and colorful butterflies?
What if I have magic?
Those are the questions I always asked to myself when I was young. And until now, I still wonder if those things will be true.
But I know they don't. Maybe I became obssess on those fairy tales my mom always tell to me.
Sitting on a wooden bench inside the park, I roamed my eyes in the whole place.
I envy those kids who plays in the playground. I envy them because they've given a chance to play outside. Seeing their adorable face and their bright smile, I wish that I could be them.
I didn't have a chance to play outside when I was young like those kids in the playground.
Simply because my Mom won't let me go.
She said that it's better to play inside because it's much safer for me.
Does playing outside will cause me trouble?
She says that monster will kidnap me and get me killed.
Well, as a child, I became scared. Who would want to be kidnap, by the way?
So I just listened to my Mom. All my childhood days, I only played inside not minding those laughters I hear coming from the children playing outside.
She also said that she only wants to protect me from harm. Even tho I don't understand, I just obliged.
Growing inside the house is hard ofcourse. Specially when you hear other children laughing heartily. But growing inside also makes me what I am today.
I became cold as ice. I don't interact to people, I became an introvert. I'm friendless, I only talk to my cousins and relatives.
Lumaki akong kinikilala muna ang mga tao sa paligid ko. Minulat ako ng mga magulang ko na huwag basta-basta magtitiwala sa kahit sino. Kaya naman kapag may gustong makipagkilala sa akin, tumatanggi na agad ako.
Ganiyan ang kinagisnan kong pamumuhay. Tago sa mga tao, ilag sa mga bata. Hindi lumalabas ng pamamahay dahil sa panganib na nagbabadiya.
Kaya naman maswerte ang mga batang ito na naglalaro sa playground. They won't grow like the way I am.
