Blank Painting (/) Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Blank painting


My mother taught me to behave
My father formed me to be braved
My big brother inspired me to be somebody
My sister held my hand to be "holy"
And me...what happen to me?

After all these years
I lost my face
Fallen to the ground, wounded and broken
Stained my name, it seem
No, nothing is left; everything is gone

My mother broke into tears
My father; in his rage
My big brother bitterness he kept to his grave
My sister silence forever to her tomb
And me...what happen to me?

After all these years
I am all alone
Wondering to the skies
Counting my days...waiting to die
No, I can't undone what is done

My mother...all is nothing but character
My father...all is nothing but attitude
My big brother...all is nothing but dream
My sister...all is nothing but miracle
My "me"...all is nothing but...
after all these years but fate


Note:
Inspired from the life story of Mr. J Ragay.
A man of reputation who's family line was of great influence and with notable wealth- the labor from generation to generation. Until Mr. J Ragay's time to be the master of his own house, things fall apart.
