akyasa
Ryan Joseph Aug 4
kung sa dulo'y gusto lang naman ang sumaya,
hindi nalang sana nag-aksaya pa
ng oras kung hindi naman kayang tanggapin ang sakit na na-idulot
at 'di mo rin karapat-dapat ang mahalin
dahil ikaw mismo ay ang taong mapili,
ngunit sa katunayan, hindi naman pinili.
you don't deserve love at all

freedom
Ryan Joseph Mar 5
I thought I could find it with you,
although there was peace,
unluckily never found freedom in the end.

cruel kindness
Ryan Joseph Feb 26
memories on the floor—
scattered and crumpled
from the sheets I used to write
too puzzled yet remained mysterious
but searched everywhere for something I couldn't found
from where it all had begun—
of how I fell in love with your cruelty — your cruel kindness.

strangers [again]
Ryan Joseph Oct 2023
touched the light,
crossed the line,
fell in love,
but not at the exact time,
fell in love again,
broken and torn into pieces,
oh, to love,
beautiful and appeasing,
yet full of bittersweet moments and memories,
should have known better,
we were just kids who were once in love,
but fated just to be strangers [again].

dreams

in my dreams,

and as I wake up,
you are still there,
but in someone else's presence.

why, just why?
Ryan Joseph Apr 2023
I am so weak
I am so pathetic
I am so... hurt by giving too much affection and care,

why can't I just happy?
why I am like this?
do I really deserve this after all of what I gave?
must I just drown myself and perish from these intolerable thoughts?
Apr 2023 · 423
I had to
Ryan Joseph Apr 2023
I had to bully myself:
By suffering from the happiness of someone else
By crying from the laughing faces of someone else
By seeing someone I loved being with someone else
And by trying to forget the reason why I loved.

am I worthy enough?
Ryan Joseph Apr 2023
I stood up
I loved
I cared
I gave everything
And most of all, I made even myself a fool

Do I look like a clown?
Do I look like a nobody?
Do I look like a plaything?
And most of all, what have I done so wrong?

Then, tell me if I deserve to be given of your love?
Then, tell me if I am worthy enough to be given of your care?
Then, tell me if I am not enough to be your someone not a nobody?
And most of all, do I really have to beg and plead for all of it just for you to stay?

wake up
Ryan Joseph Apr 2023
wake up humans
stop discriminating
stop bullying
stop doing bad things
stop letting your fellows suffer—when they've already suffered too much.

wake up humans
we are running out of good people already
we are running out of good things already
and we are running out of good food already.

really, please wake up humans
some of the people at there are already dying
i abhor hearing those wails once I've heard before
would it also make your eyes and ears go sore?

my loss, I lost
Ryan Joseph Apr 2023
I literally forgot why I even existed,
why I bothered loving this cruel world,
made reasons to live despite the struggles,
and fell in love with someone whom I can't ever have.

take a rest
Ryan Joseph Apr 2023
if you're tired,
take a rest, my dear.

i hope you don't quit,
because I will love you forever for who you are.
take a note to always have time to rest, but don't quit.

hypocrisy
Ryan Joseph May 2022
life is such a beautiful thing;
and to live is such a beautiful blessing
until you find yourself being useless then
questions striking how you'll die and when

in this world full of hypocrisy
makes you think that people are just being icky
either they are just trying to get along
or just making you feel things since they think you are strong

wondered if you have ever been loved
knowing that you've been happy before
but given a love that's been robbed
to a someone who is like an eyesore

questions came upon to yourself
have you ever tried to look in the mirror
since you were just someone who needs a help
thinking as if you were an emperor

facade, when will it halt in occurring?
you've been too nice in the beginning
yet you were just too cruel in the end
since you can't even help my heart to mend.

slavery in its own reality
Ryan Joseph Apr 2022
every reality I thought there is;
a point of becoming someone else
though not knowing
that it was just a bogus reality;
that I was just a slave of my own reality.
Ryan Joseph Dec 2021
you are unique,
its greatness is picturesque,
and as it pleases yourself,
never let the beauty be disappointed by itself.

your existence is beautiful,
never let things meet its fall
because as you grow older,
beauty will never fade as your existence is appreciated by you, dear.
be criticized first before the beauty of yours turns into uniqueness.

smile upon your glamour
Ryan Joseph Dec 2021
such glamour is a waste
if never glitters by its smile,
when filled with dimness and sadness.
never omit to smile, dear.

The Epitome Of As A Poet
Ryan Joseph Jun 2021
Every poet is a wonderful poem lover,
Should you not halt to be an inspirer,
Let the world know who you are,
Even if a thing remains just a scar.

Every poem is created by a wonderful poet,
Should you not halt to interpret--
Of someone's love that is also yours,
Though it was for them, not yours.

Love is a painful word for those who cannot attain,
But let it just become a pain,
For someday as a poet -- poetry will be your love in life,
May it be in the afterlife.

Peace

Peace is a word
In this frenzied world
But it cannot be said and done--
When [still] holding a gun.

The Purposeful Pain
Ryan Joseph Sep 2020
Pain always help you to grow up,
even though it makes you suffer,
but it will give you a realization--
that you should be doing what you love.

" Fiction of Love "
Ryan Joseph Jun 2020
For the word of Fiction--
I eventually found out--
And it made sense to me;
When I began to fall in love.
Ryan Joseph Jun 2020
Thee might tell someone about my name later,
Together with thy bitter mouth with lies,
Thee may think I am nothing but a filthy being,
But I know my limit and place.

Thy existence angers my life
For it is the reason why I am in a bedlam.
And for a phenomenon of mine is in a thread;
A thread in which there are numerous strings.

Together with thy loathsome mouth and lies.
Weakening my life as a human being.
Upsetting me every daylight and night.
Just like suns and moons.

May they full of lights,
But can deceive others.
And even if you tell someone about me later,
But I know--that I'll still stand up and hoist myself.

" death is eternity "
Ryan Joseph Jun 2020
Life is tough yet short.
But death is eternity.
Life will last; soon you also will.
Forgive those who trespass on you.
And forget those mistakes that you have had been made and done.
Judgment is by the law as well and fairly just,
But God will be, above all--gonna judge us.
Repent, for you who trespassed.
And live in a tranquil life.

" Bounded to you–rose "
Ryan Joseph Jun 2020
Roses are glamorous yet can be addictive,

Feelings are always proactive,

But you are more than roses,

Your name has a rose,

But you were neither mine nor has ever become mine,

You were someone who always makes me fine,

But you've suddenly changed,

And becomes a rose which is actually now strange,

Your scent slowly died,

Now, I don't know what to do when I am always tied,

Strengths are leaving me,

You as a rose weakens me,

But even though you've died,

I still looked forward to my feelings which I've really relied.

" truth does prevail "
Ryan Joseph Jun 2020
In this world, it is better to tell the truth–
despite telling a lie–
than to receive a hundred of goodbye.

" memories "
Ryan Joseph Mar 2020
memories
are fading
slowly by slowly,
forcing ourselves
to remember something
may just exhaust
ourselves.

it could be
better
to forget
even though
it's something
important
'cause there's no
choice
of remembering
something
when they've already
forgotten
us.
memories are special,
but they are kind of useless when everything has went into astray.

"Figuring out what life is"
Ryan Joseph Mar 2020
I am trying to figure it out,
What is happening in my life,
But as the second, minute, hour, day, week, and a year went by,
I still didn't know and understand.

Now, I am somehow kind of lost in the darkness,
Trying to look for a light,
But there seems no light and my life is starting to ebb,
And I am in awful shape.

I am trying to look for someone's sympathy,
But they never would look at me,
They just walked and passed by,
Until I become nothing that even ashes and shadows were nothing left.
Ryan Joseph Mar 2020
When someone started to lie,
It started to **** everyone,
It spreads too quickly,
And soon it becomes the generalized virus thingy,
As it has killed too many people,
People started to become cautious,
People started to realize,
That they are the one who's at fault,
But only realizes when they've all died,
Yet the virus thingy continues to **** even an animal.
- there's nothing I can do with that title, so I just came up with this title..

Sipping something hot and warm,
Dark and bitter,
But always fills the stomach.

" unsolicited success "
Ryan Joseph Mar 2020
Reward yourselves for all the success;
and sacrifices you've done,
Life isn't needed to be solicited--
may it be an appreciation or acknowledgment from others.
Because--we can just give it using ourselves.

Sadly wrecked,

" romantically in love "

He is romantically in love,
But his devotions are passive,
There's nothing he can do,
But admire his beloved one's beauty.

" vacillation "
Ryan Joseph Feb 2020
the toughest part of being swindled on--
is actually the vacillation-
which begins to enter your thoughts,
not the pain.

" sham devotions "

Love is nothing--

to disguise and conceal themselves from a dumb reason.

" bittersweet life "
Ryan Joseph Feb 2020
As the sadness went in your life,
There came your eyes are in a whimper,
Wondering how people couldn't even realize what your situation is already with,
But you didn't care because life is just like that.

Sadness became the reason why your life is so unlucky and miserable,
But they didn't notice it as well,
Whether in your eyes is happiness or sadness,
Because both of them reside with it.
Ryan Joseph Feb 2020
Back then as a child,
I was still scared of scary stuff such as ghosts or dead spirits.

But right now,
I am kind of scared to humans already-
which I may end up dying because of them.
Sorry, I am kind of confused to put a title so I decided this one...
Ryan Joseph Feb 2020
Everything is prerequisite
to greatness-
to become a better someone.
this may be a short poem or whatsoever, but this still has a meaning in it...

" darkness "
Ryan Joseph Feb 2020
I was in the darkness
Felt nothing but dimness
I thought that I'd die in loneliness
But there she saved me along with her presence and caress.

She was part of my life.
A savior in my life,
and guidance in my life.
But when once she left me,
there's nothing I felt-
But emptiness and darkness.

" decision of yours "
Ryan Joseph Feb 2020
A mistake isn't should be remorse with,
After all, it's what yourself have decided to choose,
and it's the cause of trusting your fate too much or maybe not,
even though it's already noticeable in the first place,
still, you chose what's right for you,
and which is comfortable for you.

" someone's star "
Ryan Joseph Jan 2020
There had a day,
That I looked at the star,
Which I have fallen in love with,
Staring at it untimely and continuously,
Until I have realized,
That I am staring and fell in love,
With someone's star.

" love may just be a word "

" a fool "
Ryan Joseph Jan 2020
She was rather a bad person,
For stealing my heart without my permission,
For letting me fall on her easily,
And for giving my attention to her.

But isn't it way too obnoxious?
That I am the only one who fell.
That I am the only one who made an effort.
And the only one--who played as a fool.
Ryan Joseph Jan 2020
people say:
'crying is only for a weak person'

why would I  not agree?
of course yes.

but, is it only for a weak person?
and for a dispirited person?

because I believe that;
'crying is also a part of being strong--strong in emotion".

" get a new life "
Ryan Joseph Dec 2019
It's already an another year
Or should we say a 'New Year'
But why are you still dwelling in the past?
When it is supposed to renew your life again.

In life, you must know how to accept
Not just accept, but to relive and renew your life--
especially when it's already New Year.
That's why--get a new life.

"everyday life is a gift"
Ryan Joseph Dec 2019
Life does not need any kind of gifts.
May it be Christmas today--
but gifts are not imperative.
Because everday
life is a gift.
Ryan Joseph Dec 2019
I don't know about my life anymore.
I am neither having rainbows nor butterflies in life.
Negativity surrounds me every time.
People always had their happiness,
but mine only sometimes does.
It is way too uncanny--
that maybe I am cared and confronted with the darkness in life.

" obsession with love "
Ryan Joseph Dec 2019
we are all just the same
obsessed with one thing
seeking as always
hungered for it.

but,
it is a paradoxical thing
even though it can only be found in our surroundings
and, kind of absurd.

we are really obsessed with it...
but because of it--
some people died and suicided;
but some went crazy and depressed.

" no one "
