Balang araw,
Biglang babagal ang paglakad ng oras
Bahagyang hihinto ang ilog sa kanyang pag lagaslas
Aawit ang mga langay-langayan
At luluha ang kalangitan

Luhang hatid ng matinding galak
Sa wakas ay wala ng iiyak
Dahil natapos na ang panaginip
Salamat at hindi ka nainip

Maraming istorya ang nais kong sabihin
Inipon kong lahat para sa'yong pagdating
Kulang ang magdamag kung aking isasalaysay
Kung paano kita hinintay

Sa sandaling tayo'y magtagpo
Doon lamang magiging perpekto ang mundo
Dahil sa kabila ng mga gasgas nating puso
Ay may paraisong tayo lang ang makakabuo

Sana nga bukas kapiling ko na ikaw
Sana nga bukas na ang ating ''Balang araw''.

Is it okay that I still love you?
Even knowing what you did?
I knew nothing at the time
Hell, I was just a kid

I sometimes got the feeling
That maybe you were mean
But I'd push it from my mind
Like some forgotten dream

You used to tell me stories
Before I'd go to sleep
You shared with me imagination
But kept your secrets hidden deep

As I grew into a woman
You gave me great advice
You taught me to be honest
For to lie you pay a price

You told me I was beautiful
And you loved to hear me sing
I never felt you judge me
I could tell you any thing

By then my sister and brother
Had left to escape your fury
You made us think they alone were guilty
A swift exile by judge and jury

I believed they were to blame
Yes, I believed your lies
Even though Dad's heart was broken
Even when I heard his cries

As the years progressed
You shared a little of your tale
About your ******* of a father
And how he put you all through hell

Your last years were full of pain
You suffered much before your death
You begged them for forgiveness
Then you took your final breath

But the damage was too great
And we would not recover
We remained estranged
From our sister and our brother

Since your death I've learned the truth
What you did, and what was done to you
My hearts breaks for the abuse you gave
And the hell that you went through

Now my heart is so confused
I don't know how to feel
Is it okay to love you?
Is the woman I knew even real?

I can't explain it any better
And I don't know what to do
I wish some one would just tell me
Is it okay to love you?
A poem I wrote about my mother many years after her death, when I learned the truth about what she had kept hidden from her children.  So much more than could fit in any poem.  I remain confused about a lot of things, but I love her.  I am me, in part at least, because of her.  What ever wrongs she committed, she is my mom and I'll always love her.

With eyes wide open I take a step
A pounding heart beats in my chest

Fear clashes with tenacity
I fear more a life of mundanity

I must find the strength that's within
A deep breath and so it begins

Today marks the start of my journey
I embark because I am worthy

And....so are you.
A poem for those who fight today for a better tomorrow.  What ever your struggles, you are worthy.  Your are important.  You are loved.  Keep fighting, until you win.
