[LITERARY] Paslit
Written by Sofia Tan
Kahit sa maliit na paraan.
Kaya ko pa ring ipagsigawan.
Ang lahat ng aking kakayahan.
Lahat ng mga pinagdaanan.
Hindi pa kasing dami ng dinanas mo.
Iba ang kinalak’han ko
HINDI TAYO PAREHO.
Iba ang henerasyon ko.
Iba na ang kilos ng mundo.
Walang kamalay-malay mong sinabihan.
“Bata ka lang wala pang nalalaman.”
Ano nga ba ang dapat kong tularan?
Sa masikip na mundong aking ginagalawan.
Kung hindi mo ako tutulungang mabuo.
Bakit pa tayo umiikot-ikot sa ganito?
Pakawalan mo na ako’t hayaang lumago.
Pagod na rin ako sa pagiging bilanggo.
Kaya kong lumipad gamit ang sariling pakpak.
Hayaan mo akong sa sahig lumagapak.
Kakayanin kong tumayo sa lupa at umapak.
Hindi ako basta-basta lang babagsak.
Iba ang lakas na aking taglay.
Kahit buhay ay kayang ialay.
Boses ko’y ibibigay.
Makamit lang ang tinatamasang tagumpay.
Hindi ako bata lang.
Parte ako ng kabataang may alam.
Para sa sariling prinsipyo’t kinabukasan.
Ilalaban ko ang moral at karangalan.
Hindi ka bata lang.
THE AUTHOR
My vagabond mind always gives me letters to write.
Hi! I am Sofia Irish Tan and a Literary Writer of UST Angelicum’s Tigercubs. I like writing that’s for one. My friends describe me as a talkative and reliable friend. I am an assiduous, forbearing, and easy to approach type of person. I also like sleeping.
Reading keeps my mind sane and contented. Writing keeps me sensible and free. I have been writing ever since I can remember. I find comfort and liberty in letters. I was able to find and enhance my latent abilities and vocabulary via writing. Through several letters, it assisted me in expressing my hidden sentiments and cloudy thinking. As you may have observed, I frequently refer to my love of poetry as letters, because letters for me were the ones who gave color to the black and white world of my puzzled thoughts.
Writing sparked something within of me that I had no idea existed; it became not just a way for me to express myself, but also a way for me to improve and broaden my viewpoint. Writing, in my opinion, entails not just writing but also listening.
