I'm tired. Exoplanets!
Can't find words to pray
Small victories
Dawn goes down to day

The movie was quite moving
Gracias xie xie
Silence in the afternoon
Silent is the Way

             Yea, verily. Yea.

Poetry?

I'm not a poet
I'm just emotional
twenty-something emotions
those hit hard

I'm not a poet
only a sleepwalker,
my fingers burning to type
my laptop keyboard so well-lit
so I fall into the desire

I'm not a poet
I just whisper to a quiet altar called Hello Poetry
a fatal attraction
so I type
welcome to the cult
Where's my keyboard, I can't sleep

One Brutal Friend
Closer than my own spleen,
he calls me buddy.
“Hey, buddy!”

As if struck by a fever,
a silent malady,
he changed—
morphed into a beast,
a movie beast.
An ogre.

Where did the grandiose come from?
What street did you drag that arrogance down?
A lack of empathy,
a thirst for admiration so cruel
it drowns reason.

But he wasn’t born like this.
I knew him long ago—
when “the floor is lava” was gospel,
his bike had no spokes,
and breaking curfew was unthinkable.

Now he calls me.
Then hangs up.
Then calls again—different number.
Games.

I don’t like it.
Don’t call my second phone.
I stole it.
I still forgive you

I don’t know how we got here,
I kept looking from side to side,
but there are no traces of going back,
It scares me that everything is happening so fast.
I wish we could replay in slow motion.

Strong saves the weak;
Failure teach us how to be brave,
Victory is being a captive...
Yet building with glee.

To the woman whom I love
To the woman who doesn't sleep
all night when you're sick
because she's worried

The woman I needed the most
The woman I can always count on
The woman who's too overprotective
The woman who we find annoying for being strict

You may be annoying sometimes
still i love you
You sacrifice so much for us to achieve what we want
and look at us, contented, happy and proud

The woman who will spoil us when it comes to food
When she laughs it feels so good
To the woman who will cry with us when we're in so much pain
To the woman whom i wish forever will stay

I am forever thankful to have you
God knows how much I love you
I'm proud to have you as my Mother
thank you for everything

I may not the kind of daughter you wished I would be
but just wait a little longer
I will make you proud, just wait and see
happy birthday mom! i love you

sometimes she prefers to be alone and read books
and sometimes too dramatic that
she needs love and affection
or she's gonna die.
it's been a while, really. i guess i just miss writing lol

Been living beside the river
All alone and still
With no one to talk to
No one to share with

Your body is cover of ***** mud
You disgusted yourself because of how ugly you were

Then someone picks you up
And put you to the group of clean stones
The look on their faces was unexplainable
Yet you know for sure;
They don't like you
They don't want you
And they feel disgusted the way they looked at you

Tears fall from your dolorous eyes
The rain suddenly poured and joined into your sadness
The raindrops clears the ***** mud on your body
And suddenly you shined brightly

You are not a ***** stone you think you were
You are not ugly people think you were
You are not disgusting
You are not what others think you are

You are precious
You're like a star that shines brightly;
and twinkles beautifully
You are everyone adores and treasures
You are a diamond


A diamond, my love
sometimes we have these insecurities to other people, we feel down and frustrated. But if you love who you are, you will know how beautiful you truly are. you will become a diamond, a diamond that adores and treasures by everyone.

she
she doesn't have a lover
but her heart is full of treasure
by the people who cares for her
and just like that, for her it was more than enough.

he told me
"i care for you"
but I know he doesn't, not a chance

and I asked him to lie again
and he said
"i love you forever"
