sa rami ng tulang nilikha
panaghoy ang tila namamayagpag
emosyong natatakpan ng mukha
ay patuloy na binabagabag
madalas ay natatapos sa lungkot
madalang na naguumpisa sa saya
bawat linyang kataga'y puot
tila walang dinudulot na ligaya
sa daang salita na kayang bigkasin
nasaan ang malalambing na parirala?
sa bawat boses na nais kalasin
kailan ang araw na maaabot ang tala?
May dalisay nga ba sa mga letra?
May pag-asa nga ba sa mga talata?
muli nga bang darating ang saya
sa paggising ng bagong hiraya?
Marahil ay unti-unti, hindi bigla-bigla
yayakapin nang mahigpit, dahan-dahan
upang ituloy ang naudlot na sigla
upang magmistulang sarili ang tahanan
Gaya ng dapit-hapon ay manlalamig
ngunit sa bukang-liwayway, gugunitain
sarili ang maging unang daigdig
pagkamuhi ay tuluyan nang palayain
kaya't sa bawat salitang isusulat
yakapin ang letrang namumukadkad
darating ang araw na muling pagkamulat
masisilayang muli ang ligaya sa paglipad

Gusto kong gumawa ng kanta
pero hindi ko alam paano sisimulan
Gusto kong magsulat ng tula
pero hindi ko alam ang tamang salita para magsimula
Gusto kong kumanta
pero hindi ko kayang abutin ang mga gusto kong awitin
Gusto kong sumayaw
pero wala akong lakas para humataw
Gusto kong gumuhit at magpinta
ngunit hindi ako kasing galing ng iba
Ang dami kong gustong gawin at aralin
ngunit hindi ko magawa
dahil ang daming kulang sa akin
Ni hindi ko alam kung may iaangat pa ba ang talento ko
Baka hanggang dito nalang kasi talaga ang kakayahan ko
Baka nga naniwala lang ako sa ilusyon na magaling ako
Kasi ang totoo ay hindi ako mahusay
Hindi ako matalino
Sakto lang ako.

The matter of things and how it came to be
In the mere sight of the plight of a bee
We grasp with the thought of thee
Of how uncertainty became a plea
If I stand on earth, what shall my use be for?
Answers to pleas, keys to the door
Nothing is definite, like a shore
Yet we continue to voice and roar
And that’s the beauty of human nature
The things we know are no sheer stranger
Still, There is thus far greater than common scripture
And the search for truth would be an adventure
Behold, the power of doubts arises and upholds
It waits, in self, and for the world it unfolds
And for the records of millions, it withholds
The continuous and further truth-seeking in refolds

How i wish you could have lived a longer life
How i wish you could have lived the life you deserve
How i wish you could have lived your life without being deprived of
How i wish you could have lived a life of your own

Here it goes again
Flowing through my vein
Leaving me in disdain
Insecurities are coming
Anxieties are humming
Sadness is thumping
It rings in my head
Feels like in an endless thread
Whispers I should be dead
Nights full uncertainties
Full of silenced profanities
Drowned in my own vanities

Most of the time,
i hate myself for pushing away
the people around me
Yet a lot of times,
i hate myself for caring too much
about people
I blame myself
in everything
that has been happening
It's as if I myself,
being born,
is already a mistake
I wish
I could motivate myself
to push through
How I wish
I am enough
for everyone
It's as if
I'm always pleasing myself
to other people in order to survive
Yet in the end
Who would dare to save me
If I myself cannot heal my soul

i am not okay
when will you ever notice
my mind is whirling
screams are silenced
i fake a laugh everytime
i get irritated from time to time
the blame is all on me
it's hard to be happy i guess
you try to talk to someone
but somehow you become voiceless
the pain is within you
no pill could ever relieve if
please save me
please; before i do something
everyone will regret
please.

An angel as pure as gold
once have lived, stories unfold
screams in pain in a silent night
everyday is a struggle for a fight
left the world as if it was the key
drowning on a seemingly endless sea
tried and fought to survive the race
but never knew the ending phase
your smile was the best of all
everyone, including me, would fall
but none of us knew your pain
crying day by day with the rain
i wish you nothing but joy and peace
enjoy the clouds of heaven with bliss
i love you dearly our precious one
rest in His embrace; know that you've won

sa bawat minutong lumilipas
tila may pagkakataong napakabilis
ngunit pasakit dibdib ang pagkabagal
Ang paligid ay nagmimistulang kawalan
Hindi napapansin sa kahihintay
paghintay sa oras na muli kang mangusap
paghintay sa pagasang magtatagal lahat
paghintay sa katagang "babalik" lahat
Lumilipas ang gabing puno ng katahimikan
tanging pagbigkas mo lamang
ang siyang gigising sa diwa
Subalit tila ang paghintay ay walang patutunguhan
Hanggang sa unti unting nang sumuko
pagasa'y nawala
paghihintay ay natigil
hiling ay naglaho
itigil na ang ilusyong ito.

if you ever ask me
how great my day went by
do not dare to listen
for it will all be lies
if you ever ask me
when was the last time I laughed
make me smile then
it has been ages since I had it
if you ever ask me
how extraordinary my life is
turn your back and find someone else
my life has never been as exetraordinary as theirs
if you ever ask me
where did my old self go
dont come find her
she has already been lost
