Ayoko sanang isipin
na matapos kong pag-aralan
ang wikang Ingles ng napakahabang
panahon ay lilitaw lamang na
higit na mas magaling akong magsulat
sa Filipino.
Ngunit sa aking nakikita, mukhang
tama nga ang sabi ng aking propesor
na manlilimbag ng libro.
Tunay na napakalaki ng sablay ko
sa wikang Ingles pero napahanga siya
sa aking galing sa paggamit ng Filipino.
---
And it sometimes makes me wonder.
Would I shine brighter if I have taken
Filipino, instead of forcing myself in
the English Creative Writing program?
But it's too late now.
With only a remaining semester to go
before my Master's Thesis, all I could do
is accept whatever my shortcomings are,
While hoping that I could catch up
on the race to become a better English Writer
before I find myself just a single dash away
from the program's finish line.
