RSS Feed (xml)I wrote this poem 6 years ago, 05 July 2002 to be exact :-)
At that time, I was 25 years old. And at that time, since I am a quarter of a century old, I felt scared of what life has to offer for me. I am getting older. I am confuse/ I am scared.
There were lots of things happening at that time with my life, with my personal life, my family and with my work. I felt that I was getting old and I have not achieved anything relevant. It was also the time when I decided to take my masters degree in business administration. Because I thought I have to do something important with my life, something that make sense, or can give sense to my life.
Now, I am 31 years old. Once in a while I am feeling anxious when I think of life (well, lately, now that another year is about to end, I am getting anxious more frequently). I am trying not to worry too much, not to think too much.. but I can't help it. I am an emotera by nature... I think its in my blood :-)
Here is the poem. Hope you like it.
ANXIETY
I feel scared of the uncertainty that life holds
Afraid of what the future has to offer
I love life, thankful for the chance
Its just that, I don't want the challenges that goes with it
The road I had to travel, which I'm quite sure, is not a smooth one
The responsibilities it entails
The decisions you have to make, along with its consequences
Why can't I just stay where I am right now?
Why can't I just live my life the way I want?
I feel like what is happening with my life right now
Are just the consequences of the decisions made
By the people who lived ahead of me
I feel like I have to take all the responsibilities
That they are suppose to carry since they are
only the consequences of their actions

being emotera is not in your blood, or in anyone's blood :D
It's normal.
Misho reya.

hi edel...thanks sa comment... hehehe... i always write a poem whenever I feel something different than the normal emotions...outlet ko magsulat ng poem dati... ngayon madalang na..mostly kwento na sulat ko..hehe.. And just to share my experience back then, at that point of my life, nakita ko na what's going to happen to me, kaya I felt anxious, i felt scared and unprepared...kasi sooner or later I will be in the same path as you are right now -being a breadwinner. And it is already happening..there's a lot of things and changes happening actually..but so far.. i am getting by :-)
