Just Let Me Cry
January 23, 2022
Inside the four corners of the lavatory's cubicle, I was weeping in anger. I wanted to shout out loud and let this heavy feeling out. Why are there selfish people in this world? Why can't they consider my own feelings? Can they let me feel happy and free again? When can I regain my wisdom? I felt like I'm being caged inside a world that is too tough to escape from the burdens of life. They are getting heavier and heavier as days pass by and that makes them too hard to unload.
"She's pregnant." Great! My sister is pregnant! She's still a student and the father of her child is also a student. Great! I wanted to scream!!!
I felt like lightning struck me when I heard those words. My mood was ruined, my hope fell. And what now? Until when will I be grinding and supporting others? When could I feel real freedom? When could I free myself from everything? So all I could think of is myself alone. Who else would help me carry these burdens? No one. They are all selfish!
Hatred lingers down my spine and a sense of frustration makes my blood boil. I wish I didn't hear those words that triggered my anxiety. I wish I could be apathetic and unconcerned about things around me and the people in my world. Can I just be a stone? Lifeless, emotionless, but hard to break. Because at this very moment, I think I would break.
I just want to cry, cry, and cry until no more tears come out from me. Until this heavy feeling lessened or faded. I want to shout, can I even shout? I want to shut myself from this world for a while until I could no more feel the pain again. I just want to cry, just let me cry.
I wanted to run and escape from this world of responsibilities. Can I even run away from this world? Because anywhere I go, these burdens are still tucked on my shoulders. Or should I just elope and forget about these burdens? Until they feel the pain as well and realize how hard life is. So they could move their arses and grind for themselves. And I would be free for good.
But no, that's too impossible to forget everything and start with a clean slate in a new unfamiliar place. I wish I could be so hard and emotionless. I wish I could be just like that so I couldn't feel any pain. But I can only wish for that, because I'm just too fragile, emotional, selfless, and absorbing other responsibilities as my own. And I hate myself for being too responsible.
I hate myself for being so weak that all I know is to cry. But that's all I could do for now. So please pardon me.
Just let me cry...

Yan yong sinasabi ko kadalasan na wag puro sila ang isipin at baka sariling kapakanan mo na ang nakakaligtaan mo. I hope you feel better now after you cried out. Ang masasabi ko lang support your family with what you can not with all what you have. Sometimes letting them feel that you are upset is a manner to teach them how to improve themselves especially sa sis mo. Pero yong baby pagsilang nkakawala ng sama ng loob😁.
