Strangled to death
Altitude Jun 2020
When life gives you lemons,
you give them lemonade.
But as we live up with these demons,
wounds and scars are never healing,
Anger, frustrations, all concealing,
the outcries of the one ceasing.

The faux smile that's showing,
Faking the happiness from others
All ever bearing.
Eager to burst out,
Roaring like a lion looking,
Looking for someone to devour.

These demons.
They come and pry,
prying out the victims
And then let loose.
Seeking fear, seeking fun,
All for when a man hungs.
Depression is a serious illness and should be helped with. Talk to someone, find ways to let that feeling loose. Don't keep it to yourself. Unlike me.

Don't worry, someone is helping me fight this battle. With a battlecry I can shout out, I still continue to live.

Silent one
Altitude Apr 2020
I sought silence in noise,
sought darkness in light.
Sought love in medication,
sought pleasure in frustration,
forged personalities that were fake,
hoped for miracles on birthday cakes.
Attempted to see without looking,
listen without hearing,
speak without talking,
bagging to explore,
but tied down by worry.
A poem I made on 25th April 2016 that was almost forgotten until this day.

Pangangatwiran
Altitude Apr 2020
Nakapagtataka,
sa dinamidaming pagkakataon.
Kung saan ako'y nagbunga,
Ang bukod isip ay di naaayon.

Sa tuwing bagkas
ng mga labi mo'y pagkaralita.
Bukod tanging
Ako'y naalipusta.

Hinanap ang pangangatwiran
Kung bakit ika'y ganyan.
Nasugatan,
ngunit pinagbigyan
ng tadhana'y biyaya.

Pangangatwirang kusang loob,
Kusang loob na pinagtatanggol
Ng bulong
ng aking kutob.

Ako
Ikaw
Sino ba tayo
sa mundong ito?
Isip sana'y di pumanaw.

Inspiration
Altitude Apr 2020
I'm dying with these words,
When the world closes its doors.
Trying to find the life inside
to give and share,
to live a life.

Oh kindle life, give me hype.
To be productive as I ever was
The poet inside of me
has been dying as it ever has.

It comes and goes
Like as water flows.
It might be dry,
It might overflow.

Inspiration...
dying
while
also
craving
inside.

Endeavor of time
Altitude Dec 2018
Time is so precious, and yet I waste it.
Life is so meaningful, and yet I deny of it.
Time is ticking, and yet I ignore it.
Life is passing, and yet I reject of it.

My existence seems rather a drag.
I hold unto others as if I were some dog.
So many memories to keep.
And yet,
it stays such, a memory to sweep.

When will such pessimistic,
become such optimistic?
From fairy tales to tragic tales
A world I live in where it's full of fails.

From such views, I dare compare.
A world full of happiness I couldn't care.
The laughs, the smiles,
it all seems real.
Deep inside a heart made of steel.

As time tries to keep me awake,
I die each day knowing what's at stake.
To those whose woes are greater than mine,
Woe unto you for those who are sublime.

Try to keep up and still be alive.
As time rush in,
do say to a good ******* man,
Life is more as you remain.
I keep myself ignoring the beauty and essence of life

A Poet's Melancholy
Altitude Oct 2018
As night turns into day,
The path I choose I may,
It is all I could ever brought.
As I can only feel sorrow and in drought.

The tides are against me.
All of the cards are flipped.
The wind blows me away,
As I try to unravel my fate.

This barren land that I am in,
Drowns me in solitude.
Whatever path that may begin,
A journey that ends towards death.

As I look into the shallow window,
the presence of insincerity is seen.
The vanished hope of finding your existence,
precedes the essence of life.

I, who do not know,
lives in an abyss of desolation.

Mon Amour
Altitude Oct 2018
A small glimpse of hope,
Seeing her makes me say,
I need to live.
God may have given me her.
But despite of it all,
I still suffer from depression.
I want to escape from such illness.

I, beyond comprehension,
find her the light which
heals my sickness and sadness.

Her eyes full of hope,
Her gaze full of spark,
Her smile full of happiness,
Her actions full of grace,
Her words full of wisdom.
And I am well aware of it all.
Am I worthy of this love?
Am I worthy of her?
Am I worthy for her?

One thing I could only do,
give her respect
and give her the price that is due.
I deserve this.
She should be appreciated and adored.
And she deserves more.
I love you with all of me.

For better or worse,
I'll be here with you.
Forever and always.

Black Roses
Altitude Oct 2018
I am an outcast from faraway lands,
I search for forgiveness and mercy.
I am a prodigy of disaster and a bringer of commotion.
I seek judgment and upbringing.

Lo and behold, a sinister of an imbecile.
I am a disgrace in my kin.
I find myself tormented by absolution.
In which I couldn't find answers,
only options.

I am depressed.
I am sad.
I seek for help.
And help I wished not come.

Drowned in sorrow and woe,
I find myself in delusion that
this thing I am suffering would end briefly.
I wish for prayers beyond my grief.

Future
Altitude Oct 2018
As palms sweat by every second,
a feeling of fear arise at hand.
The future may hold something dear,
live by its rules,
live through each pain,
live throughout each day.
How can one be astonished throughout the day,
when all I hold on to within is fear and anxiety.
God help me,
God save me.

Clair de lune
Altitude Oct 2018
As moments pass me by,
Everything about you I could not deny.
Those oh so lovely memories,
from bad ones to happy scenes,
I treasure them all.
You're my sunshine.
You're my moonlight.
An explicit beauty,
a goddess of my reality.

Lavish
Altitude Oct 2018
Those eyes that flicker as it shines
Makes every moment a dazzling one.
The flowers high at every spark,
I see them all even at dark.
As it whispers through its course,
I feel the chill that gives its curse.
A lovely gaze I could not escape,
Alas, I lie awake.
The beauty of life resounds,
Its essence on love surrounds.

Sourire
Altitude Oct 2018
Your smile as bright as day,
that makes my heart array.
Whenever I see it,
Whenever I dream of it,
Tears fall down my eyes.
Wanna know why?
I imagine you,
I'm down on my knees,
Standing in front of you,
As you say the words, 'I do.'

Faith and Life
Altitude Jun 2018
That spiritual dryness in your heart,
Faith alone is not enough.
You become more and more
numb and become a zombie

Life is more to it.
You find love, sadness,
peace, happiness,
and all there is to it.

Living without prayers is like
eating without food.
Don't become a zombie of this world,
Enjoy life and pray to the Lord.

Lost
Altitude Jun 2018
Something you earned for
Something you wanted
That one you've been looking for
In which you feel beloved

A material so cared of
To which you treasure
When carelessness strucks
All seems lost

Even just a single moment
of carelessness sneaks up on you
That thing which you keep
will definitely leap out of your pocket

Writing a poem
Altitude Jun 2018
The urge to write a poem
is like finding a butterfly
It takes time for some or
even one to be sublime

Love and loyalty
Commitment and consistency
All lost when you
don't have that urge
To be yourself
And to be true

Minds are baffled
And yet,
That one thing
that drives your imagination
is seemingly
Under reconstruction

Spirit of poetry
Be unto me
For I seek to be
sunk into memories

— The End —
