Subtle Thoughts

Jul 03, 2020 3 years ago

Okay, what time is it? Well, it's already few more minutes before 2 AM. Really, why am I awake? I sighed with my question 'cause even myself couldn't understand why I was awaken in the middle of my deep slumber. Whenever I had to wake up unknowingly, I take it as my cue to read novels or just scroll over my Facebook feed but right now is different, as I just found myself writing this piece with unsure topic. “I don't think someone else would read this”—I silently blurted to myself. Okay, whatever. I just have to write down all these stuffs running through my head for I feel like going crazy knowing I had no one to talk to right now. *sighs* First, cases of CoVid-19 continue to rise in our country especially in our region. Second, the newly-signed law that made everyone shut their mouths but with disappointment written all over their faces. Seriously, I don't know what's worst now. I don't know who's the real enemy in this battlefield. Is it the villain we couldn't see? or is the government that instead of hearing our pleas and cries had to permanently silenced us now. My head is spinning. I couldn't help not to be sorry for my fellow countrymen who never had idea about what's really going on. I couldn't even help myself just to remain unheard knowing not everyone has the voice to speak out. I wrote this not to go against with my government. I wrote this for my people. I know, it's been a while since I took writing seriously but right time won't come unless I make it. Now, it's already 2 o'clock and I'm also done writing but my mother suddenly crossed my mind, I can't help not say this myself... “How are you there in abroad, Mama? I hope you feel fine.”
