If I had never been born, the rain would still fall on this rooftop—but no one would be listening. The rice would still grow in the terraced fields, but there would be no mouth to taste its sweetness. The world would spin, indifferent and whole, without the crack I left in it just by existing.
Every morning, I wake into a debt I did not sign for. The debt of joy. The debt of gratitude. The debt of trying —because others tried for me. My mother’s labor. My father’s silence. My ancestors’ ghosts, watching from the altar, expecting me to continue their unfinished hope.
I was not asked. No one handed me a contract before the first cell split, before the first breath burned my lungs. I arrived like a guest at a party I never RSVP'd to, handed a name, a language, a country, a wound.

But what if I am tired? What if this gift called life feels like a stone tied to my neck? They say: "You are lucky to be born." But luck is a lottery. And some tickets are just… pain. Every morning, I wake into a debt I did not sign for
So I sit here, between the PDF page and the pale light of morning, and I do not erase these words. Not because I have found an answer. But because somewhere, someone else will read this and think: "Oh. It’s not just me."
I wish I had never been born. Not to die—death is still a something . I mean never to have existed at all. No shadow. No footprint. No name whispered at a funeral. Just the great, merciful blankness before the first cry.
