Sucker



There are moments when life throws us into chaos. Despite our efforts to maintain a positive outlook, some instances push us to our limits. Suddenly, it feels like we're staring at our own reflection, where darkness engulfs the itsy-bitsy light that we are so desperately trying to ignite.

It's disheartening... 

In this state of condemnation and self-judgment, 
as we struggle to make sense of it all, 
we find ourselves consumed by angst and painful realizations. 
No matter how hard we try to mend things, there are unforeseen circumstances where destruction triumphs over creation.

Perhaps it's due to our limitations, 
our inherent inadequacies that we persist in trying to fix what's broken. But more often than not, our attempts only result in shattering it further, leaving us with countless irreparable fragments. 
Maybe they're right; 
I seem to destroy everything I touch.

I can't help but question what is wrong with me. I feel like a forsaken soul, forever marked by my own flaws. Despite claiming to be someone who "fixes" things, I appear to have destroyed more than I've repaired—both in quantity and quality. 
Or maybe I'm like Castiel from the TV series: Supernatural: 
my heart leading the way, unseen by those around me. It's not that they have to see it, but their closed minds prevent them from understanding my inner thoughts. I've tried sharing my ideas back in college, only to be labeled as a "psycho" and met with miserable failure.

The bigger issue, I guess, is my lonely journey to find someone who will truly listen and comprehend me.  An even greater concern is that when people finally do engage, they either point fingers and assign blame or disguise themselves in pretense and hypocritical righteousness.

This leads me to another point of confusion – the nature of humanity. 
There is a certain barbarism ingrained within people, 
Some derive pleasure from witnessing others' downfall. 
Some revel in bloodshed, violence, and, worst of all, 
some are delighted in reducing someone's self-esteem to that of trash. 

So, I often find myself questioning: why is the world like this? Or, better yet, why do I still hold onto hope and optimism for humanity?

I'm beginning to lose my love, hope, and trust in people, and my thoughts present compelling evidence as to why I should rightfully do so. 
I'm slowly transforming into the very thing they want me to become. 
However, another voice persists, telling me that I deserve better than this. 

But how can I claim such a thing when, in reality, I am the destroyer of all?

It's agonizing to think this way when nobody understands and nobody seems to care. 
Everything swirls in a vortex within my mind, 
trapping me in its relentless whirlpool. 

I can't find a way out.

Somebody, anyone, save me from myself.

*sigh*

Suck it in dude…

A Blank Verse Poetry

I ran this morning. Gray sky, nothing special. Weather that doesn’t force you to feel anything. Usually, I wander without purpose. Today, something stopped me. Time is a trap. We pretend it’s limited, but it isn’t. So we rush through it—steps, choices, life—until it all blurs. The small things disappear. The smell of earth, the quiet air. Gone. A song got stuck in my head. “I’ll stop the world and melt with you.” Unwanted. Persistent. How did it get in? Maybe fate. Maybe nothing. I don’t believe in destiny, but here I was—stuck in the sound, stuck in a loop. The world paused inside me. I didn’t move. The day went on. Hands trembled—not from connection, but from the weight of existing. Scars on skin—maps of past failures. Nothing clean, nothing clear. I touched a cheek. No softness. Smoke? Habit? Grip loosened—like sanity slipping. Wanting to let go, but afraid of the emptiness that follows. I kissed a cheek. A stupid move. A laugh broke the silence. A glitch. A mistake. Coffee a...

The Slow Death of the Familiar Lie

The 2025 elections just ended. Not with fireworks, not with riots—just the quiet unraveling of yet another chapter in our nation’s long and complicated dance with democracy. There’s something different in the air this time. Something subtle, like the way dusk falls before you even realize the day is gone. You feel it before you name it: a shift. Not seismic, perhaps not even visible to the untrained eye. But there, like a whisper at the edge of a crowded room. People have grown wiser. And no, this isn’t naive optimism. It’s not the kind of blind faith that wears campaign colors and chants slogans. It’s the kind of wisdom that comes from repeated heartbreak—from choosing hope too many times, only to be betrayed by men in suits and smiles. From believing in change only to see it morph into the same old trapo politics dressed in newer fonts. “Pain is a brutal but effective teacher—especially in a country where memory is often the first casualty of every election cycle.” But maybe ...

The Tension Between Hope and Despair

This is w here the light breaks just to drown. Hope isn’t some pretty thing. It’s a slow burn that keeps you awake at night, fooling you with a whisper, “Maybe this time.” It digs its claws in, even when everything screams you’re done. Hope’s the hook you can’t shake, even when it’s tearing you apart from the inside. Despair doesn’t wait politely. It crashes in like a storm, cold and sharp, and it doesn’t care if you’re ready or not. It doesn’t dance with hope—they fight. It’s brutal, ugly. Despair wants to swallow everything whole, leaves no room for mercy. There’s no peace between them. It’s a war you didn’t sign up for, but you live it every damn day—grasping for that fragile flicker, even as the darkness tightens around your throat. You hold hope like a lifeline but feel despair pulling the knot tighter. No balance. No graceful dance. Just a mess of broken promises and shattered dreams. Hope keeps you chasing ghosts; despair waits, patient, knowing it will win. And the worst p...
