The leaves are falling
The grass will catch them with poise
The tall tree still stands

How the body
of the dancer
Moves with
Grace
and
Elegance
Eyes with make-up, closed while performing.
The only audience to the dancer are
One's heart and one's soul.

Babangon para sa 'yo
Nandito ang pangako
"Grabeh! Ang liwanag oh."
Kahit ano pang layo.

“I want to live for myself.”
And you guessed it right.
This was me, before I met you.
Always wanting to be busy
To avoid all kinds of thoughts
That could devour me at night
Swallowing every bit of what I deemed right
And not knowing how to keep everything in sight.
I start my day with the usual waking up routine
Eyes opened at 5:15 to take a cold bath
Wanting to wake myself up. Or was I really awake?
For goodness’ sake, I had no idea
What was going on in my head
Keeping myself always on the edge
This was me, before I met you.
“Never will I meet someone
Who won’t get me hurt.”
And on and on and on it goes
With my mind, slowly killing
My deepest sense of who I really am.
What am I to myself
When all I could see
Is not being the person
In the mirror of my soul?
But, on that day,
It was different for me.
You were with an old friend
Reality was bent, for I had the chance
The opportunity of a lifetime
To meet that girl
Who only gave me one word answers
An awkward and shy person
Who happened to be a dancer.
This is the start of a new friendship.
Fast forward to next week
The month of November
So full of surprises
My friend gave me a pass
To a debut and alas, you were there too.
Didn’t have any intentions to pursue
But why was my attention always directed to you?
I attempted to relay my emotion through the phone call of the
Devotion that my old friend had for you, but
Looks like my world developed a deeper sense of purpose.
This was me after meeting you.
Another week has passed and a blockmate wrote me on the guest list.
The night was going well
When suddenly
A person enters the room
The room remained dark, but my world was shone a show of light.
Two stars aligned and in between, was your nose.
I couldn’t believe it. Why was I feeling this way?
At the end of the day, I couldn’t listen to the ways of my
Heart. It’s because you had a heart
For someone else.
But, “the heart has its own reasons that reason cannot understand.”
Why did Blaise Pascal have to word it so beautifully?
And to top it all off, why’d you have to be so beautiful?
I was about to go home alone, when you offered me a ride.
Initially, I waved a goodbye, but you wouldn’t let me slide
This opportunity to get to know you more.
So, you brought me home and before you dropped me off,
With those sleepy eyes accompanied by the soft soothing sound of your voice, you said,
“Good night.”
And in that moment,
I knew I was in love with you.
This is now me and will always be me
Because there is no day in my life now
That I am not changed
And it is only everyday in my world that
My love grows for you.

Mahirap na kung mahirap
Kahit sa simpleng bagay, mahahanap mo ang mahirap
Ang mas mahirap pa,
Hindi
Mo
Maintindihan
Kung bakit mahirap.
Mahirap na kung mahirap
Alam mo ba na
Mahirap
Magkaroon ng
isang tulay na
Wala
namang kabilang pwedeng daanan?
Mahirap na kung mahirap
Hindi rin kasi pakiramdam
Kundi isang pagtitiwala
Sa
Isang
Bagay
Na kahit anong gawin mo
Hindi. Mangyayari.
Kung ikaw lang ang
gagalaw.

Alam mo ba
Sobrang hirap malaman
Ang isang karamdamang
Hindi
Mo
Maintindihan?
Akala mo ba
Mas mahirap mahulog mula sa bangin
Na alam **** lupa ang sasalo sa 'yo
Kaysa
Sa mahulog mula sa bangin na
Hindi
Mo
Alam
Kung anong mahuhulugan mo?
Hindi ganyan eh.

Nagkaroon ng gana
Na magkaroon ng
Sana
Ganito kami
Sana
Ganyan din kami
Sana
Ganoon lang kami
Sana
Eh hanggang sana lang ba lagi
Ang hantungan ng tao?
Hindi
Sana

I was on the streets
Alone and dying, looking for someone.
Then, You came along.
You had a heart for me
So You picked me up and put me on Your back.
Carrying me home, You told me You loved me ever since.
For in that moment,
You introduced me to the feeling of living.
I didn’t want that feeling to end.
*“No wind
No traffic lights
No one
Could ever stop me from loving You back.”*
Said my soul.
But
My heart and mind
Oh why oh why should I go back
To those lonely streets?
I want to be with You and You only.
But I keep
Failing.
You gave everything to me.
My friends
My family
My life
Your heart
But I didn’t care.
I only cared for myself.
Every time.
I always fall in the same manhole.
And yet, You still reach down to me with your hand and tell me
*“It’s all right.
I love you.”*
Every time.
I am sorry.

Nahihirapan akong huminga
Kakaisip sa kanya
Saan ba siya nagpunta?
Hindi man lang nagpaalam.
Nagdadabog kasi 'di ka nasilayan
Hawak-hawak ang sarili kong kamay
Nag-iisa sa buhay
Wala na akong kasama.
Pero sa
Isang
Pagkakataon
Dumating ka
Hindi ko na kinaya
Mahirap palang itago ang saya
Kaya nang humarap ka sa akin
Nalaman kong
Masarap mabuhay kasi
Sa 'yo lang ako nagkakamalay

"Don't fix it if it ain't b r o k e n."
What if the fixing itself is actually the one that's b r o k e n?
What if it didn't really need to be run by a token?
That's the problem. Doing the unspoken.
Let it be open
If it's really meant to be
Broken.
