tired and exhausted
both hard breathing
we've reached our limit
but there's no stopping

pushing each other to the wall
heating up with slapping
just waiting for someone to fall
down on the floor, her being pinned, sweating

not contented, I gripped both of her hands in one hand
then she wriggled, grunting, yelled each other's names.
pierced her with all my might; sliding it in one go.
She moaned but her eyes remains that i am the one to blame.

I pushed deeper and she moaned longer
leaving me with her final last breath.
from her and in my hands, i see blood
our fight finally ended, no more threat

I brushed my hair up; blood drips
a victory for a revengeful whip
from the window, heard the cop's siren
my face is nothing but a devil smiling

my shoulders are heavy
and so is my heart
my mind painfully aches
been thinking so hard

take a deep breath
and let it flow

i can't, i'm squeezed
it's like i'm drowning
let the sun set
help me have my peace

don't be afraid, do it
and take your first step

i close my eyes and open it again
but i'm still here rooted.
where are you exactly?
i don't want to be alone.

i'm here. don't be afraid.
take your first step

what have i been doing lately?
why do i feel so heavy?
why am i still standing?
how long have i been here?

come on. what are you waitng for?
move. take your first step.

why should i listen?
this is my life.
i know better than you.
what am i still doing here?

you asked for help. i'm here.
listen. move your feet.

sorry, i forgot.
i don't even recognize myself.
please be patient.
i have to find myself first.

i know i understand.
don't be afraid. please listen.

should i do it? should i trust you?
anyway, don't have anything to do here.
took a little step, shaking.
my heart's still pounding.

felt good?
now walk.

now, i'm really drowning.
so hard to breath.
i'm slowly sinking.
lend me your hand.

stop thinking. it's normal.
one step is not enough. walk!

i gasped for air.
shaking, shaking...
there's no physical help.
i feel so helpless.

relax. you can do it.
you already took a leap.

i surrender.
i have to listen.
it's easy to say
but it's hard to do.

another step is not going to hurt.
don't worry. i'm still here. trust me.

took another step
my heart still pounding
took another step
my knees are giving up.

yes. that's it.
come on. walk some more.

took another and another
my blood's circulating
took another and another
i can breath more air

let it flow...let it be...
'till you're cloud free

took another and anoter
i feel better
i looked back
i've gone not far enough

took another, it's not enough
i looked back again
i recall everything
recalling the burden

still walking...
sorting things out
i understand some things
some are still unanswered

still walking...
new questions brought up
they're piling up fast
need to have solution

still walking...
i come up with a solution, an experiment
i think it's not going to work
my pace is going slow

walking slowly...
what if it's all wrong?
i think i miss something.
I stopped, looking blank.

why did you stop?
You were doing okay.

I have to.
I have to go back.
I don't want to walk. It's useless.
There's no destination. I'm tired.

What? No. you have to fight.
For your own good, learn.

What's to learn?
Everything is a question.
Answer is always hard to find.
You don't understand me at all.

Going back is not the answer.
Pity. It's all you can do.

Then tell me what to do.
I tried to have an open mind.
You're so confident.
Please give me what I need.

Open mind? Please don't kid me.
I'm here to help and that's all.

I don't understand.
I'm in need of help.
I need answers.
You're not helping me.

I'm your friend, not a businessman.
You're not helping yourself.

Riddles, riddles
i'm not in school
I feel frustrated
I don't want to argue

come on, walk again
this time feel the soil.

I did just like you said
it's so rich; so relaxing
but it doesn't feel right.
I want to go back.

Don't you dare!
Chin up. Keep moving forward.

I kept my head down.
This is my simple revolt.
Though I keep moving.
I was still hoping to go back.

Come on, chin up.
Don't focus on your feet.

I have no choice.
This is really an insult.
I closed my eyes.
And held my head high.

Oh, please. Grow up.
You have to look.

I opened my eyes.
There is one path.
Along side with it
are the grass and trees.

Are we seeing the same thing?
Are you trying to look?

I'm not sure.
I don't see this everyday
and I don't still understand.
I still have to walk. Right?

Yes. Surely, time will come.
For now, just let it flow, let it be.

I know a very old art
that is close to my heart
those who don't get this are too smart

It's difficult from the start
but very easy to impart
like a careless whisper or a bogart

A beauty that rhymes with ****
To some, it's music of Mozart
sadly to most, it's ugly as a wart

but who cares, let them dart
it's way out of their charts
for you and I will never be afart

To my future sons and daughters,
piece of advice from the old matter.
What lies beyond might be your answer.
Hoping somehow will make you feel better.

People always ask the meaning of love
and say the answers they always have.
Songs are played and tales are told.
All are true but too subjective to hold.

If still eager to know,
then let me lead you to show
the seed your mother and I have sowed.
This is the only thing I can bestow.

See the perfect wrinkles and see the small scars.
Smell the sweetness though there’s a hint of cigar.
Feel its firmness and feel its irregularities.
It’s not perfect for perfection does not exist.

Everyday, we did not stop nurturing,
Sometimes we fill it with dreaming.
Sometimes we mold and keep growing.
Loving each other everyday is exciting.

The beauty lies in our smiles.
Its charm could make our joy go miles.
Always do hug each other
cause it’s the small things that love last longer.

There are days that it’s not sunny.
It’s ok. We need it and it will make life funny.
Just chill and talk, let the heart explore.
Hope like I did, you come to appreciate the person more.

Love is always mutual.
It’s a give and take as usual.
A forgive and forget should be natural.
Efforts should be a ritual.

Love is not just affection.
Love is also a decision.
Holding each other through,
not letting go.


I’m thankful to have your mother.
I don’t think I could find any other.
She is a piece of my heart
and this is our love, we could never be apart.

(legend: bold = boy, italic=girl, normal = both)

The ring bells
The start of the new day
I’m about to enter the room
When you passed by.


You said hi
Then I said hello
The friendly thing to do
But have you noticed
How the time goes?


That same day
I said hi.
Then, you said hello
The friendly thing to do
But have you noticed
How the time goes?


Your hair dances.
Your eyes are like flowers
As they closes and opens.
Your lips are like vines
As they slowly curl upon your cheek
Is it not a beautiful  way to be inspired?


I looked into your eyes.
Hoping that you have changed.
How sad it is to see,
that you just admire
And how it hurts just to fake a smile
Is it not a great way to lose hope?


You never fail to leave my side.
You’re always my partner in crime.
The doodles in our notebooks.
The funny moments we shared.
The school work loads that we share.
We are like a couple as we share everything.


I never fail to leave your side
You’re my partner in crime.
The doodles in our notebooks.
The funny moments that we share.
The school work loads that we share
Gave you hints that we should be a couple


I’ll never forget the day
When you hold my hand
As you plead for me to buy an ice cream
You are like a child, so innocent
How I wish you could be mine?


I’ll never forget the day
When you looked at me differently
As I hold your hand to buy me ice cream
You’re like a child as you blush
How I wish you’ve seen the opportunity


I’m afraid to ask
If our relationship could have a new level

I want you to be brave to ask
To have our relationship a next level


What if you don’t like me?
I gave you hints that I like you
I don’t want our friendship to lose
Our friendship is strong

What if I’m the girl
What if I’m the boy
I’m not sure if you’ll woo me
We might have been lovers

Do you have any idea that I have feelings for you
From those days you acted differently
I’m not sure if you could still wait
I’ve waited for long, why should I stop?

It’s just a puppy love. We’re still young
I want it to be true love.

For now,
I’m not going to show my true feelings yet
Let me think first
Let me find myself first
Until we meet again
After our graduation
Then that’s the time we reveal ourselves

Dear diary,
all day with sweety
priceless treasure I carry.

Dear diary,
got home lazy
played games with room messy

Dear diary,
imagining myself tinkering
pushing myself but still dreamy

Dear diary,
wanting to do more.
Feeling sleepy, time crazy.

Dear diary,
ended the day disappointed
accomplishments are not meaty

Dear diary,
tomorrow
glass half empty
would it differ finally?
