Inadequate

January 14, 2007 / 10896 Catalan Compound, UPLB

I am a knight

As far as I know, I am

For the princess, a soldier

Someone who fights with co-soldiers

I

was victorious then

Acknowledgements from the kingdom

Cheers I shared to colleagues

Was that all a bad dream?

 

For now the princess is saying something

Saying I wasn’t brave at all

My colleagues has also something

They say I wasn’t good enough

 

Was I a failure?

Or is it just a matter of perspective?

Was I really inadequate?

Or is it just they who were discontented?

Alone

I was not used to this feeling

My mind desperately fleeting

I can’t think of anything else

I just wanted to be somewhere else

 

Perhaps in the warmth of my family

Where I can Move freely

Without annoying anybody

A place where I am somebody

 

I hate this feeling of solitude

‘Brings out my worst attitude

I’m used to company of friends

Where I feel happy until the end

 

At the end of the day, it’s just me

Someone whom I used to see

Still a ghost at night

A person who used to be a knight
