I glanced at my digital watch. 7:48. Exactly 2 hours nakaraan Emily my girlfriend of 1 taon broke up with me right as I was going to purpose. Occasionally Darla the sexy girl behind me would talk to me about collage. She was going to learn about getting a PHD in Physics. Darla was actually quite smart. She had a letters to 8 major collages. Then she would ask about my life. My dad died when I was 6 and my mom Nawawala custody of me when I was 12. I quit mangarap ng gising and prepared my things to get off at the nearest motel. We would take off again tomorrow. At about 5 minuets from a Red Inn Motel. As we slowed down into the parking lot the driver shouted loudly. "attention! There are 3 hotels in the area tomorrow I'll go sa pamamagitan ng each at 9:27 okay now all for Red Inn Motel get off now." I stood up as Darla did too. "hey"Darla smiled. "hey" I sinabi back. Inside Darla and I choose rooms. Darlas face became white. I looked at her. "what's wrong". I sinabi to her paying for my room. "M-m-my dumbass boyfriend forgot money". Oh no. Boyfriend. "I-I'll pay for you"I sinabi to her. She smiled widely and hugged me "thanks Gage!" she sinabi I smiled back "don't mention it". Then the man interrupted. "um I'm sorry but we have no rooms avaliable at this point." Darla sighed. "shes with me" I said. The cashier nodded. Our room was cold. Inside it chilled me to the bones. Then a loud thump and the heater instantly erupted on. Soon I was content. Mostly because there was one bed. "call it"Darla smiled. I laughed at her. That night I slept on a windowsill cushion. It was actually very comfortable. But all night I was texting my girl-friend Alisha Summers. I knew her from highschool. She was going to petsa me before I met Emily. Emily. Emily. Emily. My HTC phone sinabi 9:03. There was a vibration. My phone sinabi Ali S. The text was "Gage stop blamin uself for Emily leavin" I texted back to her "ik Ali but I g2g later". I didn't get another text back. Alisha had long chesnut hair and green eyes. Beside me Darla tossed and turned. Looked like a bad dream.
People down every turn
Pain inside their hearts
A girl with scars on her wrists
A boy with a kutsilyo in his chest
She hides in the dark
Wondering when the pain with end
He stands up to fight in defense
Only to get knocked back down again
She fights with her parents
They don't wanna support the child
She's left to fend for herself in the cold
Alone with the child
Do we see what we are doing when we say the things we say?
Do we see who we are hurting with the actions that we're taking?
What we need
Are broken families reconciled
We need hearts to mend, scars to heal and battles to end
We. Need. Love
To stand up for the broken
We. Need. Hope
To give a hand to the hopeless
We need the world to care.
What are we doing with the words we are saying?
Who are we changing
And what effects are they having?
Lets be the change.

When will this end?
Mass shootings
Terrorist attacks
Police brutality
They say it's just a gun control problem
They say it cannot be fixed
I say the problem is deeper
I say there is hope
When will this end?
Income inequality
Veterans living on the streets, penniless,
Dying sa pamamagitan ng their own hands everyday.
They say this world can change for the better
But nothing has changed...
And I truly do fear
Nothing ever will
When will pag-ibig start?
The araw we offer a hand to the fallen
Instead of cringing back in shock
And running away
When will our world change?
The araw we pag-ibig too much to kill
The araw others' pain is our pain
The araw we act instead of just talking about it
"It's impossible"
"We're too broken to be mended"
"It's a hopeless battle"
I say, let us try.
