UT
10 am: rise and shine
12 pm: let us dine
3 pm: sweat it out
10 pm: lights out
(repeat)
the clock keeps on ticking
and I'm still here right where I was
after May 27th.

I've grown a year older but
not sure if I'm any wiser.
Still prefers night to day and
sunrise over sunsets.

The 15th of May will be
D-Day
whether I get to fly or fall
from the dream I've been living in
a cycle of waiting
the alarm will blare
                           (soon).
Judgement day is on the 15th of May almost a year after graduation. I hope I get it.

Positivity
Seven Jun 2015
Love the rain
Because when you want to cry, it cries for you.
The sadness that you've been masking with your lessons on optimal economic behavior and historical imagination are soon to be washed away.
Your most vulnerable thoughts:
The way you hate and love being around people
And
How Your desire to be with someone scares the living hell out of you, will be revealed by the rain.
Raw, Grimy, Muddy
No more endless to-do lists
No more dreading Mondays
No more mountain of readings
No more
       No more
No more
Because the pitter patter outside my window lulls my restlessness.
It brings me solace.
That awful things may come but wonderful things will also happen.

Wishes
Seven May 2015
It makes me incredibly
melancholic
to not be able to see
the sun rise.

All I want is to sit by the shore
and listen to the waves
to and fro.

But I must remember
"you can't always get what you want,"
...
and the sun will always be there
and the sea will always be there
...
Maybe it's just really not my day.

Birth of a Friend
Seven May 2015
It can't be
not you

I'm not mad
not really

just immensely
disappointed

Why you
out of all of them

I thought you'd
remember

at least
to say it

even if it was
too late.

Oh Boy
Seven May 2015
It started with just a droplet of rain
and the rest was history.
We shared an umbrella
under the raging storm.
We got soaked from head to toe
but who cares
as long as I got to know
the boy with the blue umbrella.
Suddenly feelings rushed in and
my mind was flooded with thoughts of you
I could not help myself
but recall our encounter
that September night because
My god that was beautiful.

Raw
Seven May 2015
Raw
The girl stares right into me.
Her eyes are the color of the trees
I don't know what she's thinking about
and I don't think I should know.
But every time I look at her
something in me grows.
Indeed the eyes are the windows to the soul.

Rumination
Seven Apr 2015
The fate of the world
is in three:
first
it expands and the sun goes farther
away from the Earth
and ends in ice.
second
it contracts and the sun goes closer
to the Earth
and ends in fire.
third
it collapses into itself
and creates a whole
new world.
And I wonder
why wonder
about these
when instead I should be thinking
of what I should eat breakfast.

It was late afternoon
when the moon peeked through my window
as soon as the night went in to full bloom
there were a pool of stars
encapsulating my vision
I saw two pairs of spoon
crisscrossed up in the sky
and thought of you.

Flush
Seven Apr 2015
Hey You,

I remember how you held my hand
they were sweaty and too big for me.
I remember your kisses
sloppy and awkward as it should be.
I remember how we could talk until the wee hours of the morning
about stupid things in between "I love you" and "forever."

So now that that is down the toilet
I feel so relieved
to get rid of ****.

Sheman
Seven Apr 2015
He only comes at night.
He lurks in the shadows
He hates the light.
He came in silently.
Stealth is one of his expertise
though that doesn't work with me.
I can see your future.
I know of your past.
Time is in my hands.
Visions are mine to keep.
Now bow down to me.

In Denial
Seven Apr 2015
I find myself always thinking about you.
You and I face to face.
There are days when I want you to go away.
My chest tingles.
But you have left a deep impression in my soul.
My heart yearns.
And now I don't know how to feel about you.

Die
Seven Mar 2015
Die
Sometimes the people who leave without saying goodbye are the ones you wonder about the most when you think about your "almosts." They leave a fingerprint on you that you don't even want, but you don't have a choice. How do you remove a part of someone? You've been stained by their presence. That's what I find funny about relationships, one person gets to remember the stupid details about someone while the other probably doesn't even remember whether you liked sunrise or sunset. Do you feel the same?

March 15
Seven Mar 2015
He promised a life
where he was the only girl
he would every love until death
do them part.

He promised a family
where he would be the man
to protect and love them
unconditionally.

He promised a forever
he could not complete.

He made an oath that
he could not keep.

Does it mean that to love
is  to accept
someone's shortcomings
no matter what?

Does it mean that to love
is to risk even if?

Stuck
Seven Mar 2015
It's midnight
and I can't help it
I think about
your brown eyes
and how they stare right into mine
with sincerity

but I guess I was wrong
because you left me on the edge
full of what-ifs and what-could-have-been.

To be More
Seven Mar 2015
I just want to get away
from the noise from the city.

I just want a break
from the crowd.

I just want silence
to envelope my entire being.

I want to be oblivious
to my surroundings.

I want to tune in the good things
and remove the ones that constrict me.

I want to destroy every fiber
of dark matter
and let the light penetrate
my veins.

I just want to be better today than yesterday.

Welcome to the zone
where one-sided feelings
are kicked to the curb.

Welcome to the zone
where patience
is put to the test.

Welcome to the zone
where the battle

Welcome to the zone
don't stay too long
it can break you.

Now Go.

"We are all bound to change

The feeling that is not

We never seem to get the timing right
When I look left

We never seem to meet each other half-way
When I fall in
you fall out.
Does that mean that we can never be?
Sorry for missing your calls; I didn't mean to.

Waiting
Seven Feb 2015
Sometimes "time" is all we need
to heal
to forget
to regret
to unwind
to rewind
and everything else
to fall into place
that is why
patience is key
because time may go
fast and slow as it wishes
and we are only there for the ride.

Last Night
Seven Feb 2015
All I do is walk around in circles
go to the same place each night
not knowing where I should be heading
because it's too bright
I want to go near the church
but my feet won't let me
I turn to the bench and sit there to ponder
write about how my day was so ******
get bitten  by mosquitoes
who love me
and who is to blame for this pathetic situation
only one person and that is
me.

Do you mind if I become reckless?
I am cutting all my classes.
I am cutting my hair and coloring it blue.
I am feeling the things I never wanted to
because for once
I don't want to think of what will happen.
I just want it to unfold in front of me spontaneously,
just like what life is suppose to be
Uncertain.

New Perspective
Seven Feb 2015
I don't want to end up empty inside
although I'm fine with being alone.
I just don't want to feel like I'm limiting myself
to this certain ideal
of never getting hurt
of never trying new things
of never feeling what feels good.
I know I can never **** out the sorrow
but  I can at least try to not dwell on them.
Nikki said  it's harder to look at things positively so I at least have to try

Jessel
Seven Feb 2015
As soon as I stepped in
she took my hand
there she was staring at me with her big brown eyes.

I asked if she was happy
and she said that she was
How can someone
so fragile  and so small
be abandoned?

she may be stubborn
but she is loving
and as I said my good byes
I felt thankful for
giving me the chance
to at least show her
that someone cares.

She doesn't know a lot about the world yet
but she has experienced more than I have
I wish for her a family
that can love her incredibly.

I am feverish
You left me cold.

I am nauseous
You left me under your spell.

I am disgusted
You left me giddy, assuming, hang-up

I said I would never be.

So

I am resolute
to never give in
to the impulsive fragility
of human emotion.

We seem to never get the timing right

                    when I look at you
                                                      you look at away
                   when you see me
                                                      I hide away

        does this mean that we can never meet half-way?

                  When I'm in deep slumber
                                                      you're alive and kicking
                  Your talkativeness fill up
                                                       the bubbling silence in our talks

                               Do you think of me like I think of you?
                               or am I just a passing thought?

                               Do I frustrate you like you frustrate me?
                                             or am I just

Sleep
Seven Feb 2015
I don't need lullabies
it comes naturally to me.


This bed makes me
forget about the hurt, the anger
and even the joy
This bed makes me
lifeless and numb
as a corpse.

If I could be here all day in the arms of my pillow
under the body of my blanket
I will stay.

And never wake
up
from this slumber .

Concentrate

are the lines broken or straight?
am I crazy or just pretending to be insane?
can I not think about it? (but it's still there lingering)
do you think I'm sane enough to be
or insane enough to not be

F O C U S ING
gets hardeR
when tiny particles of dust
is inhaled
do you think I'm high or low?

do you think of me?
I see you in my dreams
sleeping next to me
then one moment I wake up
but it was only a dream
you were never there
never ever there

why did you have to make me feel?
why did you have to make me see?
why is everything too much?

too much
              too much
                          too much

                                                I feel suffocated
                                                                             GO AWAY
                         GET AWAY
                                                from
                                                                              ME.












I'll only break your heart
I'll only make you cry
so Yes the answer is
                                                                   NO.

Procrastination
Seven Jan 2015
Decision making
involves
a yes or a no
answer
who do you call in the middle of a disaster?

I don't know if I'm being lead on by my emotions
for sure
I can say
that I am
not the only one
to blame

We can only be free
from our insecurities
once we accept
our flaws
and care less
about what they think
and focus more
on what "I" think
the negative energy will pulsate endlessly
if we don't **** it with a little positivity
don't you think?

Delaying the inevitable
does not help
because it will creep onto you
slyly like a snake preying on a rat
so take caution
and just do it.

I liked you before
in 5th grade
you were tall as I remember
even now you still tower over me.

When I saw you again
the feelings started rushing in
Now a sixteen year old boy
Tall, Cute, Outgoing
Mr. Personality
as they called him
I never saw you again after that day.

I didn't expect to see you again
at a dinner that my sister set
I was shy and quiet
aloof and distracted
I couldn't talk to you
not because I liked you
but because words float in my head
that can't seem to make up sentences.

I tried talking to you at the wedding
but you seemed shy
or was I just assuming
and you just had nothing to say
3 feet apart from each other
suddenly
****** to link arms to walk down the aisle
and even to dance awkwardly
in front of the crowd
an awkward arm hug and a kiss on the cheek
I thought that was the last time.

It was a Sunday night
when I saw you again
built up my courage
and tore down my walls
talked to you for two hours
and that says it all
an awkward good bye ended it all.

I decided to text you and
say "Hi :)"
lead to a long conversation
about random things under the sky
it went right and left
left and right
then suddenly it just stopped
because I rejected your company or because you lost interest in me?

I saw you this Wednesday
and we talked about
our friends' love lives and what not
for sure it wasn't as awkward as I thought
our last words were
Good night.

Now that everything is said
that is how our story ends
I'd like for it to remain this way
even if deep inside
there is
this
little
voice
inside of
me
that is telling
you
"Stay."

Irrational
Seven Jan 2015
You text me in the middle of the night
it doesn't feel right
to assume that you like Me
when you are just being nice.

Oh boy
I don't understand why you infiltrate my mind
with silly thoughts of you.

I have only loved once
if you can even call it that
I have only trusted once
for sure I have.

I know it's wrong to think of this as something more
Maybe it's me being hasty
or
Maybe it's just me bringing out the girl inside.

I hate this feeling of uncertainty
it makes me feel distressed and unhappy
whirlwind of emotions
can suddenly cause a major destruction.

Anyway
as I soon as we said Hi
I already felt the
Goodbye.

Proximity
Seven Jan 2015
Side by side
Your elbow next to mine
6 inches apart
I don't like how You're right next to me.

Your eyes look at me
Looking at the periphery
How could this possibly be?

Awkward is one word to describe
our spontaneous encounter
And it made wonder
How much I used to Like You.

Your voice echoes in my ear
I can't seem to find the right words to say
Apologies are all I could mutter in front of your face.

6 inches apart
seems so close
but I felt so far from You.

This Boy
Seven Jan 2015
He came to me by surprise
With a "Hello" and a charming smile
I sat next to him in the car thinking
"This is crazy. I was only joking."
He doesn't make my heart flutter
He doesn't make my skin tingle
He doesn't make me clammy or out of breath
but
He does make me smile
He does make me laugh
He does make me think about him a lot
And most importantly
somehow he makes me feel less cynical about love even for a little while
We talked and talked and talked until early morning
and that's how it ended
with an awkward high five and a "Goodbye."
Just so I can stop thinking about it
