[LITERARY] Way Out
Written by Sofia Irish Tan
What should I do?
When everything came out of the blue?
When the episode of yesterday is like something new.
What if all the choices I made could not be weighed.
What if all the voices inside were afraid.
What have I done?
Was it really the right one?
Did I choose the right path?
What if everything was to scathe?
I’m scared, I couldn’t just run.
When does it stop?
My thoughts were overflowing.
My mind is an entangled chain.
If only my eyes could be feigned
And naught pain.
The chances I’ll take,
May put everything at stake.
The choices I made.
All will be paid.
It may not seem like the story you would read.
It would not look like the one you believe.
It is not the same as what you heed.
It would not always be agreed.
The countless restrictions
The pointless decisions
I’ve lost my vision
I’m losing my inspiration.
Hundreds of doors
Thousands of drawers
If only I could open one.
I’ve finally seen my way out.
Maybe.
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.
