I wish I could have
that same hope
you had for me
when we both found out
where I'm going from here

cause truth be told
when the universe tells you
that your time ticks
by the shorter years

It's hard to be happy
It's hard to have fun
It's hard to smile
It's hard to be strong


That day when we both knew
where I'm going from here
You looked to plan A - Z

You looked through
the high and low places
looking for ways to keep me
from parting this realm

I looked at you
at every single detail of you
thinking if today or the next
will be my very last

GfS Jul 2017
You put your arms around me
and for some reason
I found my tears falling
Then you looked at me
for the first time
in a long time
differently
but with the same I eyes
I fell in love with
you held my hand
and as I clasped yours
you smiled and said
"I'm so happy"
and for some reason
I found your tears falling
then I looked at you
like how I've always looked at you
like you're love
and everything beautiful of it
and for the first time
in a long time
everything was okay again

but then
I opened my eyes
with my tears falling
I start to remember
where I am
I start screaming
as the pain starts
to come back to my chest
realizing that
that was the reality I wanted
to wake up to instead
"I'm so happy"
words I've wanted to hear
you say for quite a long time

If you thought you've met the clumsiest girl
you still haven't met her

No one can be as clumsy as her
because no one else had
accidental sprains
accidental bruises
accidental bumps
accidental cuts
like she had

You'd wonder why she's so clumsy
because every moment you'd see her
she has a new story that comes with a new injury
and everytime she'd talk about it
you'd see the perfect mixture of
giggly, embarrased, and happy
all at the same time

She'd smile and laugh about it
and you'd be there listening
being the perfect mixture of
worried, frustrated, and happy
all at the same time

You'd wonder at her wonderous nature
of how to smile when the injury hurts
Oh, how you'd wish
that you could be there
to tell her off and pick her up
wrap up her bruises
wipe of her tears
but thing is she won't let you
all you could do is
silently wail with her
for all she ever did was smile
I learned to wait through the storm
She learned to dance in the rain

Have you ever seen
a daylight shooting star?

It shines brighter than
the big yellow sun
and you can barely
see anything else
other than it

Sadly, it's one
of the saddest things
cause it comes to orbit
really quick and yet
it moves away after
every sighting

It shines once you see it
it shines brighter than
any other existence
within orbit and yet
no one seems to
see, hear, or witness it

sometimes, I'd like to believe
what people say when I say
"
I've seen a daylight shooting star"
people believe that
I have seen
"
far too many suns
to believe that*

I made a mistake
GfS Jun 2015
I have made many mistakes
From the moment I was born
I have made many mistakes.
For my soul has taken a body
with a weak heart and terrible
lungs, and yet yearns to live and
fight for life.
I have definitely made a mistake*

I have made many mistakes
From the moment my mind formed,
I have made a mistake. For my
heart has loved science and medicine
And yet my ears have attuned to music
and hands to play on strings. I
become torn between two beautiful
things.
i have definitely made a mistake

I have made a mistake
From the moment I started learning,
I made a mistake. For every moment
I existed in the hallways, I was broken.
For the other children ridiculed and laughed at me for being a strange and odd
being. From 4'5 to 5'11, I regretted living
I have made a mistake

But you..
You saw my mistakes as a blessing when
I was too blind to see what they should
be to me. You made my mistakes a good
part of me. You made my mistakes a blessing.

I have made a mistake
For I have seen them as mistake
*that was my biggest mistake
So, why wouldn't I accept you for you?

It was on the grass that I made the most
fond memories with you. Times that we'd sit and talk, play, and enjoy each other's company. It's a marvel on how each memory was embedded in each blade of grass. Maybe, that's why there are fields and fields of them. Because for every blade of grass, was a fond memory of you.

As a man who does not

I am no more than no one
in this band of drunks
seeing how their night ends
I wonder why I was even there
more so why I even cared
to even bring them home
as it pains me to say that
it hurts to see them
break. crush. suffer.
from whatever escape
they tried to pull
I wondered why

for people who never did

and told my 5-year old self
what's been happening to me lately
I bet he would look into my eyes
jump out of that hospital bed
and cry with joy and laughter

I would've told him
that he finally made friends, the ones he has always dreamed of
That he was able to run and touch his toes
and try out all kinds of sports
That he was able to ride a bike, drive a car
and traveled to all sorts of places
That he was able to meet and talk to all sorts of people

That he was able to celebrate an unknown feeling to him called "Love"
That he was able to gaze upon such people and to feel and understand love
That he fell in love with someone who he'd never thought he'd be in love with
That he fell in love, fought, lost and loved again

If I were able to see my 5-year old self
I would look at him with teary eyes saying
"You will be happy"

Remember Yesterday
GfS Jul 2015
There were those nights where
I would sit and look on
how things are between us
and I would come to the conclusion that
times will come when we're not okay
and I'd always fear if I will still feel the same after

I'd delve at the thought, hoping I would see myself
as nothing more than an overthinker
But the universe, then again always proves me wrong
wrong in the most cruel, diabolic ways

The universe is cruel
but... you make me see otherwise
because cruelty can't make me smile..
driving you home on a Thursday afternoon
watching the sunset, and with our friends
looking back at the day, thinking..
The day was just right
cause it gave me a right reason to dance

Whenever those nights come back
I'd always tell myself in a lonesome chant
"Remember Yesterday"
because it was when we were okay
Rather than other days, I'd prefer Yesterday... But one can't dwell too much in the past.

I wake up in the same dream over and over again
watching the sunset, watching the hands turn to 1:50
As I see that moment every night, I always yearn for 1:50
Because I smile every time

At times I wake up on the sunrise
Though, I see the clock at 7:20
I cry every time
Because it was a sad sight

Nowadays, I wake up at that sunrise
Watching the clock turn to 3:35
Then 7:20
Then back to 3:35

I never had any control over this,
though the adjustment **** was in my reach
I never thought of the clock as a play thing
Rather a reminder of what I should be

I'd wake up to clock's silent ticking
A tick-tock-tick-tock
The hands of the clock go so irrationally
Yet it still tells time so accurately

Sometimes, I wish I had control over my dream
So I would always see the clock at 1:50
I could only watch the clock ticking
For a new time to read, a new time to tell
What do you call the front of a clock? ;)

Threshold
GfS Sep 2015
I can only pray
that my patience
would never reach
it's peak
for as a man
who can only
take as much
as a human can
I'm almost at
threshold

I always believed
that I'm not allowed
to say a single rant
for there are things greater
than what I can imagine
I'm told that
I can't complain
I can't frown
I can't wonder
for that's what it means
to be selfless..
yet I still ponder

My mother always told me
"just be a little more patient"
how can I be, when
father always tells me
"YOU ARE NOT THINKING"
"ARE YOU BLIND!?"

I'm sorry, father
if I'm not up to the test
but know that
I follow every word
ever sentence for the best
For every spare moment
I had, I have given it to you
I did promise that
I would take care of you
be your "right" side
as I termed it

I'm sorry if
I have no idea
what the heck you're pointing at
whenever you want me to get
something for you
I'm sorry if
I have no idea
what you want to say and if I don't know
what you're thinking
I'm sorry if
I'm not the smartest guy you'll ever meet
cause I might never fully understand
what you really want from me

But please, Dad.. tell me
is it worth it to tell me
"YOU DON'T CARE"
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND"

I understand fully that your time on earth
runs by the shorter years, but please dad
please... your words hurt me more
than every beating that you have given me

I do understand that you want me to grow
but it always hurts me more
that you're willing to let go..

Dad, I'm almost at threshold
It's been 3 years since my dad's stroke.......
and his sermons have been increasing threefold
I'm always happy that he's still alive
but... yeah.. I just wish he's happy that I am too.

Have you seen a really fat kid
sitting along the far corners of the cafeteria?
Or a kid in the waiting area by himself
reading books or staring into the blank space?
Not to forget the kid being bullied
in the bathroom just because he came to school today?
...
I was them. Well... I'm still them at times
(Most of the time actually)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It's not that I didn't like talking to people
People just didn't talk to me
I honestly didn't know what to say to people
People didn't know what to say to me

Apparently, Quantum Mechanics wasn't really
a topic 6th Graders talked about
and Classical Music isn't something
that kids my age were fans of

I've lived like that my entire childhood
Until one day, I told myself off
One day, I woke up saying
"Someday, someone will talk to me"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
So I guess, it'd be funny to honestly say that
I used to take notes of people around me
I kept a notebook around before
that had all the things that could help me
get to know someone more

I confess that I used to practice speaking a lot
I used to practice on a mirror
of what to say to other people,
especially when they're not feeling okay

I used to talk to myself all the time
Usually of what to say when someone
feels a certain feeling like anger, hurt, or hate
Joy, love, sadness... I've practiced words a lot
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I did all this just for one reason
Practiced  day and night and fought through agony
All I wanted ever since I was a child
was to gain a friend
I know that it's pathetic, but can you blame someone
who once made loneliness his friend?

You should see yourself

The way I am in love with you
is like Quantum Mechanics

there's the uncertainty
of your feelings
the possibility that your
feelings are both true and false
the superposition of people
coming and going into your life
and the distance of light years
on how different our relative times are

It's like I'm an electron to you
in a quantum level
I don't understand where my orbit is
more how many electrons there are
It's like I'm in a constant series of leaps
passing through the double slits
and I cannot tell when I am a particle or a wave

I've done everything in my power
and here, I put my hands up high
surrendering to to you all that I can offer
for my head can't be held up tight

Your love for him, I cannot bother
for this is what you want
My words, my actions cannot reach you
and blood, tears and sweat seem not enough

Here I confess that my lungs have been damaged
my heart has palpitated all that it could
Just so that I could put a smile on your face
and not bother you as I should

I've done everything in my power
and yet.. I cannot be "The One"
I ask, do you see nothing in me?
do you see a tombstone for me?

I have been there in the times
that you have suffered
that you wept and grieved in lost love
in the times that you lost hope

I have been there in the times
that you have smiled
that you smirked and laughed in gained memory
in the times that you gained hope

Here, I realize that.. I will never be enough
my words, my actions, my soul
they will never reach you
they will never meet you

Here I am once again
looking at love with my bare eyes
Here I am once again
for all that is left of me

A piece of my mind, my heart
my love and broken soul
whatever was left that
you haven't taken from me
and what I have not given you

I put up my hands up high
knees on the floor
eyes drenched with tears
and I tell all the stars my wish for you
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
I wish you sunshine after the rain
All the rest after the pain
I wish you a comfy bed and tea
that tastes beyond your wildest dreams

I wish you health and strength
a good morning and beautiful sunrise
a safe journey home and warm cloudy skies
that makes funny shapes as the light enters your eyes

I wish you all the happiness that the world could offer
or at least, a wonderful taste
of the happiness you have given me
because I wasn't enough to make you feel that

Haha, my wish for you
All I wish for you is love
I wish you love
GfS Jun 2015
If "love" hurts and "love" gives pain,
wouldn't love have no right to be called love?
Because if love is what we see as something good,
then, love with pain and hurting shouldn't be love!?
unless pain and hurting becomes a good thing?*
---------------------------------------------------------­---------
That was once a thought I had as a child, but as I grew
older, I thought... maybe it hurts because the love of others
contradicts our own. We both preach the same kind of love
and yet show it differently, and apparently it shows us
that love is the same, and yet it varies...
From religion to culture, From ideas to perspective
From physical to spiritual to emotional
The scary thing now is... when does love become love?
For religion and culture varies
For ideas and perspective varies
When does love become love when love contradicts?

despite my "overwhelming size" she still said

why it became a past love

I promised her that I will do what I do
No drugs. No alcohol. No curse words.

Can't do drugs. Can't drink. Can't curse.

There were inevitable times though
that I question myself
Should I be flattered? Should I believe her?
That I was called "Pathologically Nice"?

why do the people I love

You deserve love
GfS Jun 2015
It's sad to hear that
you believe that you
cannot be loved.
Was it not ever clear
that you deserve it more
than the stars in
the sky that have never
known your name,
yet you cherish their
existence? Has it never
occured to you that
love was always here
and yet you choose
not to accept it?
You deserve love more
than the stars that you
love to cherish, because
they have never known
your name more than
the people you deny
love from.
You definitely deserve it

So Called "Good Listener"
GfS Dec 2015
Being the ears
that listens
than the mouth
that speaks
I find how insignificant
we are all to each other

I find not one worry
in any of the names
that they mention
just "Me, Myself, and I"
and every lie in between

I find it humorous
how the world revolves
in every one-upping
as everyone speaks
in competition
and I quietly sit there
with a smile
in every comment
just waiting for a turn
to be listened
The "conversation" continues,
losing every turn I could muster
and realizing after every word
how I have no right to speak
as everyone's sadness and agony
as everyone's joy and success
I must find more important than mine

Shadow
GfS Oct 2015
Ever heard of the child that could solve
complex puzzles when she was just 2?
...
That was my sister
- - - - - -
Ever heard of the child that spoke gibberish until
he was just 4?
...
That was me

- - - - - - - - - -

Time after Time
All I've heard from
Mom and Dad
was
"Wow, look at your sister go!"
and
"Why can't you be more like your sister?"
...
Academics. Music. Friends.
Sister had them all
Failure. Failure. Failure.
Was all that was labeled onto me

Sure, call me the dominant gene
but height isn't a special thing
- - - - - - - - - - - -
No drugs. No curse words. No alcohol
Is all that we probably share as siblings
But I guess, to parents...
that's nothing special

Sometimes, I am very convinced
that I was just to live my life
as shadow of a wanted child
cause truth be told
I was never expected
I don't even know anymore

悲しみ
GfS Apr 2016
Sometimes, I wish
that I just stayed where I was.

In a place where
I was never greedy with
happiness

Maybe
GfS Jan 2017
I was meant to love
and never be loved

Untitled
GfS Mar 2017
I will be there
right where you left me
to pour you some hot tea
just the way you like it;

Is it too much to ask?
GfS Jul 2015
Out of all the things
I could ask from you
All I want is
to sit and talk with you again
with the both of us knowing that
we are okay with each other

You may lie constantly that
you are okay with me
but I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your look
that things are not okay

You may say that I would be
crazy to accuse you of this
but you would know better
than to lie to me again

All I want is for things to be okay
but apparently, I ask for journeys
that require me to cross stars and galaxies

Jealousy
GfS Mar 2016
It hurts
to see
people
hurt
themselves
when they
have lives
longer than
yours
