Ano ba ang ibig sabihin ng kalungkutan?

Ano ba ang ibig sabihin ng kalungkutan? Kapag ba nakasimangot ang isang tao? Kapag ba umiiyak? O kapag laging tulala? Ngunit may isa pang tanong... Kapag ba nakangiti ang isang tao, masaya na s'ya?

Ang mundong ito ay puno ng mga tao, 8 bilyong tao ang nabubuhay dito. At hindi natin masabi ang tunay na katauhan ng bawat isa. Hindi masusukat sa itsura o panlabas na anyo ang pagkatao ng bawat isa. At kanya kanya rin ang mga pagsubok na pinagdadaanan ng bawat isa.

Paranoia

It's all new to me. The place. The house. The people. The language. The school. Everything. But another thing is gonna be revealed by this place. A thing I never thought that was already inside of me. A very strange thing I would both want to keep and would want avoid. This thing called ''the third eye."

I started to mingle with the people who I barely knew. People who spoke the words I barely understand. I made a few friends. And as time went by, I coped up with them very well.

Then one time, our group went to a trip out of town. On our way home, the tires got deflated. So we stopped in a side of the highway. And now the sky is getting dark. We travelled through that silent road with stressed bodies and minds. Some sang songs while others slept. I've decided to keep quiet and listen to the stories they have told. And on a place where we dropped one of our friends, there was a dark corner. I was fond of looking through the dark hoping to see something strange but at the back of my mind, I know I'd never see some kind of a ghost there. So I was really startled when an image of an old woman showed up at my window. I covered my face. And told my friend what I saw. I never believed in it, I was never convinced and chose to forget about that experience.
