Everyone can be their own poet
and write as much as they want
and at times they borrow words
the words that caught their heart

But to borrow is to ask first,
to borrow is to give credit to the owner.
Because in the first place,
those words were never yours.

Outside the tower
In fear people cower

Outside that they call the slums
Where people were nothing but bums

Till one day you are called inside
they say the tower you must climb

you are chosen they say
there is a role you will need to portray
you need to conquer
this 300+ floored tower

And at the top they promise
A land full of promise
A wish will be granted
You'll have anything you wanted

You then build dreams as high as the tower
Only to find disappointment
outside they call you chosen
inside they call you a regular

Along with people that were also "chosen"
You must climb with them
live with them
befriend them
Fight them
Betray them
**** them
Step on them to climb

those same people as you
those same people who were chosen
those same people who were called regulars
those same people that share dreams as you

you need to beat them
and carry the weight of betrayals to climb on top
will you still accept
the title of
a REGULAR?

She once dreamed of a life
But never had she lived it
So came a time she gave birth to a life
and promised her baby will live it

The child lived her life
continuing her mother's broken dream
But never had she owned a single dream of her own
because the child was too busy
living that person's old broken dream

The thing is
I didnt want you to kiss me
I just wanted to hear you say that you love me

They may say that action speaks louder than words
But words are clearer than actions

I can feel your emotions screaming loud
But the thing is
its just loud, but definitely unclear

If you every try to bring chaos
To the top of my tower, I will ****
You with everything I've got
For no one can stop me but
let me remind you for I am serious
If you try to challenge me just coz you're curious
Stop now, for I can ****
I have killed
and still I will
if you try to bring chaos to the top of my tower

I will bring out my power
To bring back the order

Let me tell you of who I killed
Just to maintain the order inside this tower

A petty and dark person once lurked
At the deepest and darkest corner of my core
Uhm, I mean the tower's core

That petty and dark person,
shall we call her as depression
Tried to climb at the top of the tower
and attempted to break the order

She bounded my heart.. I mean the core with chains
Wants to climb on top, embed my brains
with thought of self infliction and suicide
She really wants to see someone die
and oh yes she did
because yes she died

I killed her
Coz no one can mess with the tower's order

And the story goes like this
I have then ordered for the order of nights to **** her
once she gets on top and touches the border
her life would soon be over

But she was a fighter, I admit
Several knights have fallen to a defeat
Cast down to an eternal pit
of negativity that she submits

Confidence, Self-worth, Joy
are few of the heroes that have first fallen
Followed by logic, intelligence, pride and sense
Until little by little she was winning

The top of the tower she was conquering

then the tower was slowly changing
cue in isolation and self condemnation

But oh boy
when she thought she had finally won
when she thought the war was finally over
Awakens my last remaining fighter
that was once in a slumber
the last remaining member of the knights order
and she is up to bring back the tower's lost order!

Shall I call this knight HOPE
small and fragile as she seems,
but boy she was so dope

Everytime depression knocks her down
HOPE would break and scatter all around
But dont get me wrong, hope was not losing
coz this is her type of fighting
and by this she was actually winning

Her scatted pieces that trailed every corner
Shone brightly even at the pits of negativity
The light became a guide
A path that let out her comrades from the pit

Now everything in the tower was shining
Even the petty and dark depression was submitting

For darkness can never win over light
Thus mark depression's era as over
I killed her
or I may have not

maybe she will be back
but let me tell her this
Let me tell you this
I have a great fighter
and once she is still alive
It will never be over
I will keep fighting whoever want to take over my tower
Coz if the light of hope is still there
my life, I will never let it be over

I lost my voice to hear the music
This is what they say, back to basic
Or am I just actually sick?
I lost my voice, now all that is left is the music.

Likes are good
Love is great
But Feedback is the best

Like is sweet
Love is hot and spicy
Feedback is umami
Something like tasting MSG
Be it good or bad, I still want it
I can never be full
I am always hungry

Satiate my hunger
Let me taste that
Give me what I want
Yes I want that

The roaring of the sky has stopped
The flames of war have died
Enemies are gone
Soldiers have been lost
But the people remembers


Fragments of war are never beautiful
Memories of war are painful
Things lost to war are always sorrowful
But they must all be remembered
For the sake of the people who could never return
For the sake of the people who has lost the home to go back to
For the sake of a country who lost their citizen, be it friend or foe
for the sake of the mother who weeps for her family
Her children have different views and one must die for one to live


The roaring of the sky has stopped
The flames of war have died
Enemies are gone
Soldiers have been lost
But the people remembers

Guilt*
It consumes me

I fornicated with sin
That bore fruit
To A child called Guilt

In my stomach it grows
It consumes me
Slowly
Ever so slowly
Eating a piece of me

I tried to erase
The evidence of sin

Five months
It took five months
To cut it open
Sliced through flesh
Amidst the blood that drowned
Guilt was out in the open

Guilt with crying
Trying to understand what was happening
An entire new world was before him

I thought I could erase it
The evidence of sin

But guilt was smiling on me
I could not dare bury

My guilt

I could not

So I decided
To forever live with *Guilt

Gusto kong magmahal
Pero takot akong masaktan
Takot akong masaktan
Kasi baka hindi ko kayang bumangon
Kasi kapag di ako agad nakabangon
Takot akong maiwan
Maiwanan ng panahaon
At sa aking paglingon
Walang saki'y humihintay
Walang saki'y tutulong
Kaya takot akong magmahal
Pero gusto ko

Waking up to the chirps of love birds
Breathing in the sweetness in the morning air
The bulb in my head lights up
"yah, it's the day for love"
So I exhaled my breaths of bitterness
ARRghh, the stench..
My breath was stinkin' of jealousy

My back was tellin me not to get up
But too bad, I already fell to the trap
Set by my stomach that has been growling
For food it was asking

I spent the whole day normally
In my bed, horizontally
Skimming through the channels on the TV
till night came and someone called me

I received flowers and hearts
and I realized
I shouldn't have been jealous of others
for all this time
I realized now
That stuff like this actually bothers me
and it burdens me
Specially coming from someone who likes me
But someone I would not like to see

Peace minus one
Is no peace at all

For peace for everyone except one
Is not peace at all

That kind of peace
Is nothing but a delusion
For people who want to
Live in that illusion
That peace can be kept
Even if not everyone is in unison

Open your eyes and see
That the real world is not perfect as you thought it would be

People are dying
Children are crying
While
Polit^cians are eating
The fruits of their farming
The kind of farming
Called peace keeping

They fight
In the name of peace
They conquer
For the promise of a better future
A peaceful world

If we continue the fight called peace keeping
Then we would attain peace
Coz there be none left to fight

No one will survive
The peace keeping fight

For peace can never be achieved
For peace would always be
Peace minus one

Unless
There would be no one.

There exist a path
A path that you cannot walk
But a path where you can only climb

They call that path the Tower
Everything you can find
name it! fame, glory, wealth or power

This tower you cannot climb alone
Because at some point you'll need a stepping stone
this stepping stone is called a friend
It requires not just a simple friend
But a friend who will love you until the end

push them down
and pile them up
they're your stairs
to climb up

step on them
never look back
because if you do
regret may get you stuck
till you can climb up

and at the top
don't ever look back
because then you'll realize
everything you lack
that the life at the top
does ****

If you have wings
Then you should fly..

Fly high
Up in the sky

But  what good is flying,
When it's so lonely
Up there
In the sky

Had I known
That I would miss him this much
I wouldn't have left

Had I known
That it would hurt this much
I wouldn't have let him go

Had I known
That I would fall for him this much
I wouldn't have started loving him


But the truth is I have known

I have known all along
I knew so well

I knew I would miss him so much
But I needed to leave
'Coz I knew that it was wrong for me to be with him
I knew it would hurt me so much

But I needed to let him go
'Coz I knew that he was not mine to begin with

I knew that if I would fall, I'll fall so deep
But still I let myself fall
Hoping that he would catch me

But he didn't

He was already at someone else's embrace when I started falling

The fall hurt
It hurts so much
It left my heart shattered into pieces

But what hurts more is
Knowing that I am still clinging to those shattered pieces
Hoping you'd want it.

Dream. Take me away
Far. To a place where I could stay.
Stay in paradise
I don’t care if it’ll be all lies

I dream when it’s morning
Even if the sun is already rising
A dream that is too pleasing
Is preventing me from waking

I still dream at noon
I won’t be waking up anytime soon
I think I’ll wait till the reign of the moon
Waking up, I don’t know how soon

The day is already ending
The curtain is already drawing
The sun is already preparing
To rest and to be setting

And then comes the night
When there exists a great absence of light
Me waking up is still out of sight
Because still, I dream at night

The dawn is coming
But still I am dreaming
The sun will again soon be rising
Still I continue on dreaming

This day marks a year of me dreaming
A year that I have stopped from waking
Well, it’s not that I don’t want to wake up
But in this bed and in this dream I am stuck

I was dreaming,
I am dreaming,
I will be dreaming
Till I wake up from this dream called coma.

In this age where almost everything is in digital
Social networking sites that could be detrimental


Here in my bed i am lying
With one hand on my phone that keeps scrolling
Even while knowing
Time I keep on wasting

Still, i cant stop from scrolling.

Yesterday’s best memories
Today’s greatest pain

How can my greatest source of happiness
Turn into the worst source of sorrow

It all changed when you’ve left

The things I once treasured the most
Turned into the things I want to forget

The memory of you still remain in my mind
Your scent still lingers I the room
And it brings forth images in my mind that I long to forget
And I cry
I hurt
My heart aches
Knowing that these memories will just remain as memories

No longer will I be able to hold your hand
No longer will I be able to kiss your lips
No longer will I be able to feel the warmth of your embrace
Because you’re gone
You’ve left

And these memories of you
Will just be a painful reminder
Of those happy days with you
That I can never have again.

Can you please,
Just even once
Look at me

Seeing your back look sadder
Seeing your silhouette grow smaller
You left without looking back

So I ran fast
as fast as I could
To catch up to you
To run ahead of you
And here I am in front of you

But why cant you see me?
Why wont you even look at me?

I was loved but never cared for
I was adored but never maintained by
I was touched but never really played

And when his love has moved on to another
What once was adored, now left in the corner
Can I ever play a melody, how I wonder

Today
I know
You want to break up

Don't try to hide it
Your eyes tells it all
The burning love, no more

You that once smiled brightly for me
Now drowned in tears
I no longer want to see you like that

Don't cry for me,
As if you care
Pretending to be nice
When I know it's all lies

I know you want to leave me
But just can't say the words
You keep pretending nothing's wrong
When nothing was even right

Those lips
When you kiss me
I get choked up
I can't breathe
It's no longer love
It's poison

Crazy in love
That was how we lived
You and me, was our everything
Now
we are just crazy
But no longer with love

Now we exchange blows
Words that hurt more than knives
With our relationship
You keep telling me you're tired
But you can't even end it

Don't hold on to me
Feeling your breath against my neck
Is like a cold wind piercing through my skin

Now our love story is nearing its end
But even now you won't say it's over
I know you want me to say it's the end
Even now you are the nice one
And I'm the bad guy
The one who broke up with you

Fine, I'll be the bad guy
I say
"It's over"
I no longer want to see you with tears
I hope you'll find a better love

So don't hold on to me
I might never let you go.
Then you'll continue to hurt

So now please go,
Don't ever come back,
If you do I'll fall in love again
And the cycle of pain will continue

"But just grant me one last wish
Smile brightly for me again
Leave me with that beautiful memory"

Your eyes,
That looked at me with love

Your nose,
That breathed love

Your lips,
That spoke of love

We were stupid in love but now is the end, goodbye my love

Beautiful is the world
But I don't have a single word
that can all describe how
I am feeling right now

Dynamic could be
the right word for me
I feel up and I feel down
At times I smile
At times I frown

Chaos could also represent
the feelings that was meant
to be hidden and locked away
But now shown everyday

Unknown is a word
for adding mystery
To a story that could end up happily
or in misery

I could be dynamic
Everything around me could be chaotic
But the future is unknown

so it's up to me to go on
and find an answer to the unknown
will it end up happily? or in misery?

But all I can say right now

Beautiful is the world
But I don't have a single word
To explain the flow of this poem

Beautiful is the world
And I don't have a single word
to name this poem

So just like our future
Let this poem be *unknown

When the sun will cease to shine,
And the moon hides behind the clouds.
When all the stars have fallen
It will prevail, Darkness will.

What should I do by then?
Should I wait with arms wide open?
Let darkness be embraced by me
And be bound together for whole eternity?

Even before, I have known darkness
It kept me away from loneliness.
So darkness be embraced by me,
Come to me and set me free.

Bathe my heart with sadness
Take my mind too, fill it with madness
Drop my soul in the abyss of wickedness
And lead my life to nothingness

I can already hear it coming
The nearer it comes, the greater the fear I’m feeling
But I won’t let these petty emotions overcome me
For in the place I’ll be going, Fear and Courage wears the same face

It is already here, now come and take me
Set my spirit free

The government is a tree
That bears fruit
A fruit that will be shared by the nation

Like any other tree
If the top gets infected by diseases
We need to cut it to save the tree
If its branches is manifested by diseases or insects
We need to cut it to save the tree
For the tree shall continue to live
And grow a new top, new branches
Fresher than the old, better than the old

But if the roots itself is rotten
Or its very core is eaten by worms
Then for that tree, there is no saving
We need to crop the good parts

Plant a new tree
Take good care of it
To make sure insects can no longer get to its core nor its roots
And just hope for a better tree to grow from it
And maybe that tree
That tree called the government
Will bear fruit that will make the nation prosper.

Kring, Kring
Can you hear the telephone ring?
No you didn't?
Well again,
Kring, Kring,
Now it is ringing.
Still no?
Well,
Kring, Kriiiinnnngggg....... Kriiiiinnnngggg!
This will be like a song you'd love to sing,
Stuck in your mind and for a while
you'll hear the sound of
kring, kring, kring

A step forward, a hundred back
with these type of flow, can I turn it back?
The time I spent wastin'
on all the things that amounted to nothin'

If given the chance to redo everything
Would I be able to make the right choices?
or Will I end up being with the current me?

would walking down that path again
also amount to nothing?
or will it bear fruit to something?

Something that might give hope to the me
who felt like I have lost sight of what's in it for me

Someday I’ll be successful
Someday I’ll be a better person
Someday I’ll achieve my dreams

Tomorrow is another day
To open new doors for success
To become a better me
To be a step closer to my dreams

Tomorrow is another day for improvement
But today is a better day to do it

Why wait for tomorrow
When I can open that door now
When I can be that person now
When I can not just take a step, but a leap
Or even run towards that dream now

Not tomorrow but today
Not later but now

Because
Someday might be too late

Not everyone is given the blessing of a tomorrow
You’ll never know when your tomorrow will end

Try your hardest now
Not just for yourself but
Also for the ones you love

Say ”I love you” to them
No one is assured to have a tomorrow
Not you... and not them

So do the things you can do now
So that you will live without regrets tomorrow

Who are they** to tell
That in my life
I am not doing well

Who are they to say
That from my path
I went astray

Who are they to judge
The me who has been wronged
But they didn’t care, they didn’t even budge

Who are they to call
Me some names, when they were the ones
Who drove me up against that wall

In this imaginary world where we can escape from reality.

I am the ruler of my own kingdom.

Who ever reads my pieces lives through every story.

You shall take part in my mission to shape this kingdom to rule over this world.

Like every ruler needs, I need someone to be my adviser.

Will you be that someone?
