Ten Mercado
in 5 years
i could’ve grown
a forest
if i planted
a tree
every time you lied
to me,

but i never
knew you were
lying
until it was
too late
to even
tend soil.

Don't let envious eyes
ever weigh you down.
Or the shrill of jealousy
ever silence you.
For your smile that shines
as bright as a crown
Transcends divinity..
from within you.
Don't let contemptuous people
incinerate your confidence.
Or their sinistrous intentions
ever waver the soul.
For great ones are born
with the glee of insouciance.
They satisfy the soul
not the devils call.
envious beings trap the weak, shaken by their hate.
As the sun navigates the sky
Ages will pass and time will come by
When the stars were shining, I was growing up
Responsibilities had settled in
And before I knew it,
I forgot about the stars
