Someone's Whispering Loudly, Can you Hear It?
She saw someone in a dreamy, white dress
Drenched in blood she feels so helpless
Buried her body underneath the wounds of hurt
“Spare me, please!”, she screamed ‘til her blood splurt.
Loud and disturbing, the voices kept lurking inside
my head, incessantly telling me to commit
horrifying things.
No matter how hard I screamed, they never stopped;
they don’t seem to cease anytime soon, and it scares
me to think that I’ll never be able to stop myself too.

Naghabulan kami ng aking kalaro sa palibot ng
sementeryo ngunit nang hapui’y huminto.
“Ito ang bahay ko,” turo sa puntod nito.

"Tara, laro tayo!"
Matapos kong ngitian at tanguan si Algen bilang
pagsang-ayon, narinig ko ang mama kong
magtanong kung sinong nginingitian ko.

Ang sabi sa'kin ng matanda kanina, basta tumakbo
lang daw ako nang mabilis, maliligtas ko ang
pamilya ko. Pero nang makarating ako sa kanila,
nakita kong unti-unti silang sinusunog ng taong
niyayakap nila—ako—na nang-aasar na nakangiti
pabalik sa'kin.
