Tye
Recap
I woke up feeling a bit dizzy. My head felt like someone kept spinning me in a bilog for hours. I close my eyes and lay my head on the grass.
“What the hell--?” I start to tanong myself, but then I realize my voice is a lot deeper then before I jumped the fence. I hold my hand in front of my face, it’s longer and the finger nails aren’t long at all. It looks madami rough and calloused. Like a guy’s hand…
I stand up, realizing that I was taller. I look down at my chest, it was completely flat, yet muscular. My torso’s longer too! So are my legs!
“Whaa--?” I say again.
“Am I a guy now?” I ask myself, afraid to know the answer.

“You sure are, Mary!” Somebody says from behind the puno I was by. My eyes grew wide and I half panicked.
“Who’s there?” I say softly, cautiously. I get into a boxing stance, putting my fists up and bending my knees.
Then I see a small boy come out from behind the tree, he looks to be about seven years old. He has blonde hair and brown eyes just like me. His hair is scraggly, with parts sticking up everywhere. He was covered in dirt and he was wearing a black long sleeve sando that hugged his little body. It went down to his knees like a dress. He wasn’t wearing any pants either… He had little brown cat ears on his head and a long brown tail with a white tip coming from behind him. He looked like an orphan kid that was really good at cosplaying…
I blink a couple of times and rub my eyes. Was this really happening? Who is this kid?
He smiled a really cute smile and held his hands up like a cat then said
“Nyaa!”
“Wha--?” I say. Then the kid sits down, so I do too. We both sit tumawid legged on the damo sa pamamagitan ng the tree.
“So, let me ask you… who… or what are you?” I ask, completely dumbfounded.
“I’m your twin.” He says happily, smiling.
“What? My twin?” I tanong looking the boy over again and again.
“Yep. I’ve lived inside of you, looking through your eyes until now. You finally let me out!” The young boy said, again cheerfully.
I made a really confused expression then shook my head. Apparently, I have a twin, he’s a cat… and he looks like he’s se--
“You can’t be my twin! You’re like seven! Aren’t you?” I ponder the entire situation, making my head hurt.
“Hey! That’s not funny! I’m the same age as you, I’m just really small!” He yells in my face. My eyes get wide and so does his. Then sits back down and flattens his shirt.
“You’re fifteen too?” I question, using my hand to ilipat his head around. He has a really annoyed expression on his face but I continue to look at him.
“Yes! Let me explain some things!” He says agitatedly, slapping my hand away.
“Fine.” I sit back using my hands to keep me up.
“Alrighty. I’m your twin, not really a twin like a human would think of but madami like your soul. I am you and you are me. Yet, we are separate people and we each have our own pain. Now we do, but all the other’s are still connected with their twins. Before, whenever you got hurt so did I, but not anymore! Oh, right, now that I’m separated from you, I’m a real person, so… I kind of need you to take care of me, please?” He explains. He throws his hands up when he’s done, still smiling.
I take everything in, the entire situation… store it in my brain and force the rational part of me to accept what’s in front of me. So this little kid is me…? But he’s a boy…
“But, you’re a boy, so how can you be me?” I question.
“What are you talking about? You’re a boy too!” He screams then shakes me like crazy.
“Oh, right… But, I was a girl before, why am I a boy now?” I yell at him, bonking him on the head between his cat ears.
“Not sure, but I’ve always been a boy, that’s why I didn’t understand why you were born a girl.” He says rubbing his head where I hit him.
I sigh, then I get up on my feet, the boy does the same.
“Say what’s your name?” I ask, looking at the puno behind him.
“Name? I don’t have one, you haven’t ibingiay me one yet.” He says putting his little hand to his chin.
“Oh, really? Well then let’s call you…” I think about it for a few minutes, then I finally come up with one.
“Tye! How about that? Do you like that name?” I ask him enthusiastically.
“Sure.” He smiles, but then his mouth forms an o and his eyes widen. “Oh yeah, um will you excuse me for a moment?” He says, pagganap like he has to go pee or something.
“Uh, sure.” I say, then lean against the tree, and whistle. Tye jumps back over the fence with my ability and disappears behind the school building.
I wait for about 10 minutos occasionally looking at the new me. I actually looked pretty hot!
“…“
Huh? What am I saying?! Keep it cool… Keep it cool.
Tye comes back, smiling just like always. He hops over the fence then says
“Hello again. Oh sa pamamagitan ng the way, I had to erase the memory of ‘Mary’ because she no longer exists so no one will know you, not even your parents. I’m really sorry.” His hangs his head low, his cat ears twitching.
At first… I’m angry, but then I realized, it’s not like my parents cared about me anyway. And I bet I could make some new mga kaibigan at school.
All my parents did was drink, party, and not pay the bills. They didn’t even acknowledge me, what so ever. It’s like I was an outcast in my own family. I’ve learned to live with it though. I got a part time job at 7 eleven and I pay for my own clothes and food. I’ve never thought of my parents as parents. They were just people that lived in the same house I did. I’m surprised they even have a house to live in. They’re just pathetic.
I’m kind of glad I’m not forced to be their kid anymore. Ha!
“It’s okay.” I say then I mess up his hair even more.
“Where am I going to take care of you then, Tye?” I ask, already worried for my new little brother. That’s how I thought of him anyway, a little brother! I’ve always wanted one.
“Not sure… Let’s pretend we’re orphans and walk around see if anyone has the puso to take us in.” He snickers. He really is my brother! I laugh then knuckle bump with him.
“Hey, I get a new name now, right? I’ve always liked the name Dean, can I be Dean?” I asked excitedly. I need to start pagganap like a guy, puh…
“Ha ha! That sounds cool!” He says then claps for me. I pick him up and set him on my shoulders, just like a big brother would… the scene almost made me cry.
Alone!
There once was a girl who biked and ran
with her best friend who had a bright kahel tan
But then one araw she when biking alone
and thats when she fell along way from home.
She lay still on the ground
not makeing a sound,and thats when she found
that she could not talk
let alone walk
As she slowly made her way home
she wished that she had a phone
so she could call for help
insted of put up with the pain that made her yelp.
She pushed her bike down the dusty track
with a sore haed and an acking back
Then she came to the place where her and her best friend met
just as the sun was begining to set
The susunod araw at school she was no where in sight
which gave her best frined a very big fright
but she was a tahanan tucked up in bed
with a sore leg and an acking head
Thats when she remebered what her best friend had sinabi
about not going out bikeing alone
along way from home.
What do you think?(I think it is very bad) and sorry of the spelling.

You
It's the middle of the night,
And I can't sleep
Your face, planted with a smile
Are the only things I see
Your voice calling my name
Is the only thing I hear
I can feel your hand rubbing my back
Hearing you whisper ''good night''
I jump and look around,
And soon realize you are not there
I sob, tightly holding the gift you once gave me
It's right here, on my bed, in perfect condition.
30 minutos later, I wipe my face and go back to sleep…
I wake up once again
And the cycle starts all over again…

your mistakes don't define you, now. they don't tell you who you're not, or who you can never be. what's it take to get you to say you'll try? you've got to live this life like it's the only one you've got. what would you say, what would you do, if this was your last day? so, you found out today that life's not the same. not quite as good as yesterday.
and, yes, i know it hurts & i know your pain, but u never gave up this easily befor. such a beautiful thing to just throw away. i think you need to know that, of all the mga kulay that you shine, this is surely not your best, it's really not your style. you should think about what you do, befor you do it, over and over again. i know you feel alone, that know one can figure you out, but you sould know that we just pag-ibig to see you smile.i know you feel like you're lost, feel like you've drifted way to far away, but we can help you come back.

I wrote this yesterday when me and my boyfriend had a big fight and it's a fight that may go on for a long time. I know I am young to write something like this but, I guess it helps. Plus If you don't like it just tell me, ok?
The Power of Words
You and I had this big long fight,
It felt like the storm during the night.
It was verry sad and cold,
My mga kaibigan had to like you a lot
and you felt like I forgot,
forgot about you.
But I had a prodject due.
You think you're mr. I'm so cool
but you used to act like a ghool.
Not to the people you love,
to the sensetive people like a dove.
How we spoke with eachother,
made you feel much better.
But the fight we had,
you sinabi was nothing but it was bad.
See ya pal we're ova,
take the cell you gave me and do me a fava.
Just don't ever,
Never...
Talk to me again!

The Man With No Eyes Collection (1): The Actor
Sundown, sunrise.
Big smile!
(Tired eyes.)
I vanish into thin air.
An actor never fails.
(Lies.)
To give the world a rousing show
(While begging to be recognized.)
To shine as brightly as the sun
Upon the trono that we’ve devised.
A patchwork-quilt protagonist
A villain from the shadow realm
The work of the illusionist
When I, the actor, take the helm.
“Hey, wouldn’t it be cool to see…”
The whisper marks my story’s birth.
The audience will gather ‘round.
(The jury to decide my worth.)
"The Man With No Eyes" is a series of poems, all of which are unfolding from one character's point of view. They are meant to represent an ongoing journey. So if you liked this one, stay tuned for more. :)
