#spilled notes

The world around me holds its breath -

they watch me tremble.

There is no earthquake

and yet my body shakes

As I take one step.

It's been a while

since I felt this tall, this high

and yet I'm still minuscule

compared to all those glaring eyes.

Just one step and that's it!

My veins contract to the force

of lifting my foot to the air.

All these eyes will behold

how my wings were never broken

and witness my valor and gallantry

as I launch myself to the clouds.

But I will never reach their piercing gaze

unless I detach my feet from the ground.

And just one step is all it will take

to not let myself and everyone down.

That is not a "sorry" ... but ...

Please do not apologize for someone's boundaries or the correct and appropriate responses that come from blatant disrespect and harm.

Definitely don't apologize for lack of sympathy/consideration/'empathy' with one person but not another.

Do not apologize for someone else's emotions. We know what they are and they are valid. Yes, more so than anyones' supposed lack of awareness and accountability. (If there's an awareness to unawareness, guess what? 🚩)

Apologize for actions and damage caused, sincerely.

The whole run away, say nothing, or cast blame where it did not, does not, exist (ahem... check the mirror) is getting old.

Ramdam ko ang haplos ng simoy ng hangin at mga dahong kumakaluskos. Kita ko ang bawat hibla ng sikat ng araw, na sa mundo'y naglalakad at sa kapaligira'y kumakalat. Nakikipaglaro ng taya-tayaan at bawat tao, puno pati hayop, natataya niya.

Sariwa, payapa Nabubuo't napupuno ng ligaya.

Ngunit, hanggang kailan nga ba?

Kita sa kalayuan ang mga galit na ulap, ramdam ang pagbabago sa maliliit at papalapit na patak.

Ang langit pala'y marunong din umiyak.
