Tetra Poetry Collection Pt.2

Despite my busy schedule for the past week, I still want to make sure that I have time to bring forth the next part of my poetry collection. The past days have been pretty heavy for me. My family just lost nanay Pandan, the mother of my grandfather. But i can't leave work, and my financial stability made me just stay in the city instead. I offered candles for her, and for the entire world. Because as I grieve from losing her, I grieve for everyone.

In an entire day, I dealt with three deaths. The death of my client's mother to whom I made name tags for, for the coffin. I then went home and found out that nanay passed away. And deeper that night, a fellow Atenean, Jorge Bolalin, took away his own life. So may nanay rest in peace, and may everyone who innocently lost their lives, those who fought hard to live until their last breath, and those who dealt with too much pain, may you all rest in peace. You're now off to a better place.

So here's my second collection, that I dedicate to everyone who deals with losing oneself from dealing with pain, that we are worthy of so much more, and to tell you that there are still people who deserves a huge gigantic hug because they give meaning to our lives.
