I WISH I WERE NOT BORN (declamation piece)

I WISH I WERE NOT BORN

I walked on tiptoed. Dad must be home now. How my heart bleed when Mom left him for abroad. No amount of mom's explanation could appease my anger. Why did she do this? My poor Dad! now I see every reason why he has to come home late, why he has to drink. He must, I even told myself. He deserves to give way to his emotions.


I walked quietly and slowly turned in the door knob. The greatest secret unfolded before my naked eyes. I caught Dad in a very compromising situation with our driver. My whole world shattered; my knees trembled. Discovery even made it more shocking. Dad is a homosexual! What is this? I shouted.


I wish I were not born. Damn you! And I ran as fast as I could. That was many years ago.


I wanted to end my life. I was like a little kitten with no one to turn to. Helpless and confused I started to pick up every piece of my broken life. The father with whom I should feel secure and protected failed me a hundred times. He did not have the arms to protect me from harm. Instead he brought me shame and untold misery. The mother whom I need to embrace to strengthen me and love me left. Parents, why do you fail me? Where else can we find solace in our dark moments of despair? What have you done?

"ME AGAINST YOU" I can't breathe in this white uniform. It's so tight. Release me. Well, Thank yo for your kind words. I know, right. I already expected this. I'm not surprised. Oh! I haven't introduced myself to some of you. For those who don't know me, which only a few don't, I'm Genuino Ontangco,a smart young man or I should say, a genius. Do you need someone to answer your problems? I'm the perfect person to approach. You asked why? Because, I know everything. Give me those equations, I'll simplify it. Give me those problems, I'll solve it. Give me that piece, I'll correct it. Oh............ It feels good to be a genius Sometimes I wondered, maybe if I was born a long time ago, then I would have created all the inventions in this world. Maybe yes! Maybe.................yes! Why can't I? I know everything, remember? Hahahahaha My mother calls me Gene, my nickname. She has been my inspiration,or i mean assistant ever since. H...

FAKE (declamation piece)

FAKE I got this smile, I skip and I play like a kid. I'm happy. People think i'm optimistic, talented and smart. I am religious. I have many friends. Do I look like that? Do I? I hope you're convinced by this synthetic, this fake smile of mine. Most people envy how perfect my life is. How I don't have problems and how I seemed to be fine with everything. But am I? I always smile and agree to everything request. To be fine with everything my so called friends wanted. Do they know that all they're seeing is fake? A mask of fake happiness and glee. That the only reason is, I cannot say no. have they thought of my feelings? are they even my friends? That every time I see them, I have this smile that no one ever dared to disbelieve. This sense of optimism everyone envies? It's all superficial. In fact, all I think of is sadness, despair, hate, and often I just can't go on anymore. Does anyone know that? Once I told my mom to cut the afternoo...
