As a writer,
does it matter that someone else
already thought my thoughts
before I did?
Or said what I'm about to say?
Or felt these emotions
making the words flow
out of me?
My thoughts aren't unique,
original,
or groundbreaking
but does that matter?
I don't mean them any less.
They are as real to me
as they were real to
the ones who thought them first,
the people who made history,
and even writers long gone.
They are my thoughts
as much as they were theirs.
Just had to get it out there. Sometimes I get so worried that someone had already written entire poems exactly like the ones I write and that kind of bothers me.

"Scars are just like tattoos, only with a better story."
I wish you were like verbs
Not just promising words but acting upon them too
Gaya ng pagtapos sa isang pangungusap
Nilagyan mo rin ng tuldok ang ating kwento
Ako'y nakiusap
Sana'y huwag sumuko

Naalala ko ang iyong mga sinabi
"Kailangan nating tapusin ito
Upang makapag- umpisa tayong muli
Kahit hindi na ako maging parte ng iyo"


Ngayon ay nauunawaan ko na
Salamat sa pagligtas sa akin sa mga luha
Nahanap ko na ang tamang tao para sa akin
Na hanggang dulo ako'y mamahalin
Period

Just like how a sentence ends
You also put a period in our story
I begged and cried
For you not to give up on us

I remember what you said
*"We have to end this
For us to start another story
Even if I am not part of yours."*

Now I understand
Thank you for saving me from tears
I've found the right one for me
The one who will love me until the end



Para sa buwan ng wika. :)

My chest is heavy
like there is a burden that I carry
so I feel a bit weary
and my eyes are a little bit teary

But I needed to be strong
To cry I felt was wrong
Instead I just sang a song
To forget the pain I've endured for so long

But what I didn't knew back then
For every single time when
I held back the tears I should have cried
by those tears my heart was drowned and died

for every tear that didn't fell on my cheeks
accumulates on my thoracic cavity, where my heart is
For every "I'm okay" lie, done by my lips
locks my heart deep into the abyss

In that abyss
filled with every tear I wasn't ably to cry
I drowned my own heart.
It was I who killed it,
**It was I who made it die.
Ever felt a time that you wanted to cry but you just cant? When your heart seems heavy and you just want to let it all out but your afraid to do it.
But don't let those tears you weren't able to cry drown your heart. If your chest feels too heavy to carry then let it out. Don't drown yourself.

Not everyone
can be a star
That shines bright
even from a far

But even a star
needs darkness
For its light
to shine brightest
We need to appreciate the things and the people that supports us. Thank them now.Just like the star and the darkness even your enemies and those people who have hurt you can make you a better person. A person you are now. The person you are now.
stars

I'll never get tired looking for you
even in the darkest setting
even in a crowded place
I'll look for you

But one day this will end
a shiny star
now a black hole
we'll never escape this

But we'll continue to defy the odds
so take my hand and together we'll venture through these constellations
I'll never let go*
because now we're shining bright
