1 is a lonely number
2 means a loser

the principle for my journey.

the stars I wanted to reach
so I climb
higher
and higher
till the stairs had ended
but the tower continued

I want to reach the stars
I need to climb more
To make my own stairs, I needed

So I stabbed everyone beside me
The friends that gathered around me
those who shared the same dream as me
will be the foundation of my stairs

I shall sacrifice their dreams for mine
they shall be my stairs

as I step on their bodies to climb higher to the Top
gravity is pulling me harder
I get heavier

I need to sacrifice more
I need to throw away more
So without restrictions
I threw away more
and I continued
to climb

Till the last step before I reached the top
my knees begin to weaken
the air begin to lessen
I need to throw away more

so I threw away everything
and I was able to reach the top

yes, I've reached the Top
but I didn't reach the stars
the tower has ended

Yes,
I was closer to the stars than I've ever been
but I felt nothing

I realized
I've thrown I away everything
to get on top
I've even thrown my dream

In the end,
I didn't reach the stars
the ones I held dear are dead
I am getting weaker and I can't go back

Yes indeed,
1 is a lonely number
We all have goals in our life but let us not forget what truly matters, what we hold dear. Don't throw them away to get your dreams. Coz in the end, what is success if you can't truly be happy?

this poem is inspired by the webtoon Tower of God

There exist a path
A path that you cannot walk
But a path where you can only climb

They call that path the Tower
Everything you can find
name it! fame, glory, wealth or power

This tower you cannot climb alone
Because at some point you'll need a stepping stone
this stepping stone is called a friend
It requires not just a simple friend
But a friend who will love you until the end

push them down
and pile them up
they're your stairs
to climb up

step on them
never look back
because if you do
regret may get you stuck
till you can climb up

and at the top
don't ever look back
because then you'll realize
everything you lack
that the life at the top
does ****
I am recently enchanted with this webtoon called tower of god so I decided to write a couple of poems inspired by it. ToG-Tower of God

This isnt a poem
Its my emotions
Poured into words

I could no longer contain
The pain I'm feeling
Allow me to share

It hurts
Its painful when you get left out
When people forget your existence

But I cannot blame them
For it might have been my fault

Have I unknowingly built a wall
That no one could climb?
No one, not even me

I cannot escape from this place
A fortress I built from peace in solidarity

But as time passed by
the peace came on too strong
The peace felt turned into screaming loneliness

But still I cannot climb this wall...

So let this poem be my memory
Let this poem leave a trace of me
So that when the time will come
When the time have passed to much
That the wall is old enough to be fragile... and break
Maybe that time people will see
The traces I've left
That proves in this world there was me
It is Them that chise to forget me
But it is I who made myself lonely

Ako nga gapabilin ra unta
Sa kweba nga way himaya
Kay ako man diri komportable
Pero ako gipugos gyud nimo pre

Ang akong kweba imong gi kulkog
Mintras  Nagngisi paka nga mura ug hubog

Hangtod sa migawas na
Ang lawas kong imong gibira
Padung sa kalibutang mahayag
Kahayag nga makadam.ag

Ako nga nalipay
Kay karon kabalo na ako
nga ang kalibutan kay hayag man diay
ang kalibutan dako man diay
Ang kalibutan kay gwapo man diay

Pero wa ako gadahum nga sa ulahi ako diay kay magmahay
Kay ako, gidulaan ra diay sa inatay

Pagkahuman nimo bolabolahon
Sa imong kamot paligidligiron
Sa imong tudlo kalit nga palagputon

Isagpak sa pader
Ihandos sa ilalom sa lamisa
Ipahid sa maong **** kupas na
Pero ako nagpakatanga
Balikan mo, ako gahulat pa
Pero diay, ako gidulaan mo ra.

Holding on to the promise of tomorrow
May it be filled with Happiness, not sorrow
What ever it brings, or what may follow
No one really knows until we see tomorrow.

I have something to tell
But no one understands
Will you?

I love him
He loves me too

I love him
He loves me too

The problem now
Is they are two
Both are different
The old and new

I love them
They love me too
Must I really choose
The old or new?

The old, I loved
Long before
Started as friends
And then love grew

The new, I met
Not too long ago
Was a stranger to each other
But then love grew

I love them
They love me too
Must I really choose
The old or new?

I love them both
With all my life
Half of my heart
Each of them owns
In order to live
I need the two

The old is like
A home to me
A comfortable one
To replenish my energy
No matter where I’ll go
In his arms I’ll be back

The new is like
Places to see
Unfamiliar,
Exploring and exciting
At times when comfortable becomes boring
He adds an element
Of fun in living

I love them
They love me too
Must I really choose
The old or new?

You may call me crazy
You may even curse at me
But both I love
With all my heart
I can’t let go of either one

Can’t I have both?

I know I can’t love two people
I know so well
But can’t I be selfish,
And have them both?

I have two lovers
I love them too
I don’t want to hurt either
What should I do?
(Inspired by the song two lovers by davichi ft. mad clown)

Beautiful is the world
But I don't have a single word
that can all describe how
I am feeling right now

Dynamic could be
the right word for me
I feel up and I feel down
At times I smile
At times I frown

Chaos could also represent
the feelings that was meant
to be hidden and locked away
But now shown everyday

Unknown is a word
for adding mystery
To a story that could end up happily
or in misery

I could be dynamic
Everything around me could be chaotic
But the future is unknown

so it's up to me to go on
and find an answer to the unknown
will it end up happily? or in misery?

But all I can say right now

Beautiful is the world
But I don't have a single word
To explain the flow of this poem

Beautiful is the world
And I don't have a single word
to name this poem

So just like our future
Let this poem be *unknown

I feel so *****, I feel so tired
At times too, I feel so empty and uninspired.

This time too. I feel so *****, coz i am
I cannot wash away that dirt that covers me
Thus let me just rest, and say goodbye.

If you have wings
Then you shoul fly,
Fly high
Up in the sky

But what good is flying
When it's so lonely
Up there
There in the sky
ZT Aug 2015
If you have wings
Then you should fly..

Fly high
Up in the sky

But  what good is flying,
When it's so lonely
Up there
In the sky

Before our world falls apart
Do me one last favor
Kiss me and never let go
ZT Jun 2015
If you have wings then you should fly
At first it's hard but you need to try
Try harder till you reach the sky
Then you will see the view from up high

Feel the wind against your face
With the birds you will race
Race to the furthest of the world then you'll realize
The world you have lived before now looks so small in size

Then you begin to wonder
And you start to ponder
Of the reasons why
You wanted to reach the sky

At first you were enjoying
But now you feel a certain kind of longing
You're longing to touch something
Coz aside from clouds, in the sky there is nothing

Now you will know
Back to the ground you'll need to go
Up high to down low
To the ground you will go

At the ground you touch the things you missed
But then later you are ******
Down low everything's so tight
So again back to the sky you'll then take flight

Waiting
I keep on waiting
For him to have that feeling
The same to what I'm having

But waiting seems like forever
Turning the burning passion just into a fever
Slowly being remedied by the cold truth
That I might be waiting for nothing
Just waiting for someone who might not be waiting for me *****.

"You didn't even love me"
Dont say such sad words
Our love might have ended
But the feeling we felt that time were real
The pasts was once was our today
The melancholy was once love
SO please
do not say that it wasnt true
it might have ended
but that love was real. it was true
I did love you

When you cant even say it.

When you dont have the energy to even say you had enough.
Then definetly
I can say
And people can tell
That you
*Had enough.
For those asking on how can u tell u had enough, this is what i can say.

Who are they** to tell
That in my life
I am not doing well

Who are they to say
That from my path
I went astray

Who are they to judge
The me who has been wronged
But they didn’t care, they didn’t even budge

Who are they to call
Me some names, when they were the ones
Who drove me up against that wall

Dreams,
Become as wings that will outshine my sadness
Cutting through the cold darkness
In this world where the wind blows like a knife
Dreams,
Be my armor and protect me through the night

By protecting me from this cruel world
Where despair and hope wear the same face
Dreams,
You have been shattered
Pieces of you have been scattered

My gentle chest aches,
By the fragment of you that pierced me
But I found joy with this pain
For I have kept a part of you in my heart
As long as I feel pain
I will be happy
For I will know that a fragment of you
Still resides in my heart

Those fragment of my wings that have scattered
To different worlds maybe
Worry not for I will destroy those walls
That separates you and me

I will make all the worlds as one
So there will always be You and Me

Then, Dreams,
Become my wings that outshine my sadness
Turn my loneliness to strength
So that I could believe
These tears, falling down still
Shall be changed to smiles one day.
This poem is inspired by the anime Tsubasa Chronicles and its ost's

With a pencil I got
      I wrote my love on a piece of paper
When my heart was hurting
    I wanted to forget
         So I erased everything that was written

I wrote my love on a piece of paper
     this time with a pen
            hoping it could be forever
When I was hurting
     my heart feeling weary, my sight were a bit blurry
           as tears fell on that piece of paper
               the written love I thought was forever
                  was short and it was suddenly over
So everytime I felt hurt
      I pushed back all the tears
           I swallowed every pain
And that's how I was able to write my love forever
I wounded my heart
It might heal
But forever will the scars remain
My love is written in my heart

Yesterday’s best memories
Today’s greatest pain

How can my greatest source of happiness
Turn into the worst source of sorrow

It all changed when you’ve left

The things I once treasured the most
Turned into the things I want to forget

The memory of you still remain in my mind
Your scent still lingers I the room
And it brings forth images in my mind that I long to forget
And I cry
I hurt
My heart aches
Knowing that these memories will just remain as memories

No longer will I be able to hold your hand
No longer will I be able to kiss your lips
No longer will I be able to feel the warmth of your embrace
Because you’re gone
You’ve left

And these memories of you
Will just be a painful reminder
Of those happy days with you
That I can never have again.
change..change..change.. people change, and memories will just be memories

Bathed in red as dawn

Darkness.
Vast darkness
That envelopes your world

Light.
Tiny light
A candle that you hold

Vast vs. Tiny
With these words alone,
Clearly vast wins

But

Darkness vs. Light
This battle
Light always win

For no matter how vast the darkness is
No matter how tiny the light is
Darkness cannot swallow light

For darkness will always depend on light
Depend on its absence

Darkness may win over you
If
Only if
You chose to put out the light that you hold

Remember
A single ray of light is still light
And a single ray of hope is still hope

No matter how dark your world may be right now
No matter how dark your world might become in the future
If you continue to hold on to that light
To your light
You will win
In this battle
Called LIFE
There will come a time in your life when you feel so down, burdened like you carry the weight of the world. When you feel that a future of darkness awaits you, you can worry, but you should never give up. Because your present carries a light and a hope called life. If the future is dark, bring that light you hold to the future and make it shine.
