From the moment you opened your eyes for the first time,
He was there.
From the moment you learned how to speak,
He was there.
From the moment you learned how to walk,
He was there.
He was there.

Dust,
Dust,
Dust,
You came from dust.
Hard to believe huh?

That someone like you come from dust?
Someone so intelegent,
Efficient,
And overall magnificent,
Come from dust.

Dust,
Dust,
Dust,
Since the begininning of time, the past.
From your ancestors, to the last.
They all had one destination.

From dust you came from, to dust you shall return.

ME
Me
This ain't you,
this is me.
Me
The one who isn't him.
Me
The one who failed his test because he wasn't you, but
Me
The very person who is in need of a remedy,
For his aching body.
Me
who was been longing to be happy,
who has been wanting to be free
From this pain and agony.
Please,
Somebody help.
Help Me...

I've been here,
Walking around,
Looking for a place,
A place that I can call my own.
A place that I may no longer feel alone,
A place that I can call Home.
I've been wandering around,
looking for something that slightly resembles it,
but still i haven't found it.
When will I find it?
When will I be able to feel it,
its warmth?
When will I be able to see the people in it?
The people that I call family.
When will I?

But then I realize,
the thing that I have been looking for,
the thing that I have been longing for,
the thing that I have been waiting,
craving,
dreaming,
and fantasizing of,
was here.
In where I have been standing on all along.

I made it!
This is it!

This is Home.

Don't mind them,
when they say you're not good enough.
Don't mind them,
that's their way of showing a bluff.
Don't mind them,
please don't mind them.
they're just there, nothing but a problem.
Don't mind them.
You know why you shouldn't mind them?
Because you are better than them,
no matter what they say to you,
don't budge.
cause you know what?
its not their job to judge,
you are much more than anyone thinks of you.
Yeah you maybe filthy,
*****,
And overall not worthy.
Someone almighty,
Came down and said that you have beauty.
this is why you shouldn't mind them,
So turn your head, open your eyes and focus on
HIM.
Hebrews 12:2 "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Venture within my mind,
I challenge you.
A forest so strange, so vast, so wild, so dense.
Bear with you a cruel set of bow and arrows,
And most importantly, a shield of your faith.
Take care of your shield and do not lose it.

My forest is teeming with trees, my memories.
Some are grand and sublime.
Their branches embrace the infinite sky,
While their shadows will brighten and lighten your soul.
Some are inferior and despicable.
Their branches dangle and will ***** you in the eye
Though you will have told them hundreds of times that you do not want to see them ever again.

My forest is abounding of creatures, my thoughts.
The rabbits, deer, and monkeys gleefully dancing around are very much worth minding.
But beware of the birds! They swoop from nowhere, nowhere at all, and pester everything.
Beware of the snakes! They are delightfully shiny and smooth.
But if you play with them, they will poison you and eat you alive.
You will exist in their foul stomach until you are complete dissolved.

The core of my forest
Is a colossal mountain of questions.
It is treacherous. It is cold.
It scrapes the sky and for sure it will scrape you.
Do not climb it,
For at the top, you will find unacceptable and invalid answers.
Most of the time, no answers at all.

Conquer me, please.
Endure the precious distance and the precious pain.
But before you end your adventure,
Pray that my forest will not become a city in the future
(A city is corrupted and cluttered and detached and deranged)
And share with me a part of yourself
Because no one does.
I wrote this poem back when I was in 8th grade, I think. It's so emo and dark, I can't believe I wrote this!
Munch on some
       salty chips, chewy cookies, sandwiches of every spread,
            and of course instant cup noodles.
Sit back and tap your fingers to some
        tunes in that carefully constructed playlist.
Snuggle with that
        favorite stuffy bunny and catch up on sleep
While I---
I will keep my eyes open every moment,
        eager for the cinematic scene playing in the window
                of the Metro regressing back to its roots:
From the bustling city
with its mechanical hums and bright lights,
        to the sleepy village
        and its vintage stillness and simplicity,
                to the vast rice paddy
                like an emerald in the sunlight,
                        then to the thick, dense rain-forest
                        echoing melodic chirps and hoots.
Let's take a walk
And watch how everything
Starts

Smell the sweet fragrance of flowers blossoming,
The rich aroma of pan de sal baking
In the crisp air not too polluted.
Hear the ringing of coffee being stirred,
The sizzling of golden eggs in a pan,
The rattling of trees as they sway with the breeze,
The chirping of birds playing above you,
The chatting of vendors about the news, and
The chuckling of grandfathers as they reminisce their youths.

To this nocturnal generation
Who loves to stay up all night
And sleep in 'til noon:
Add some wonder in your life
By exploring the morning,
The dawning, beginning,
The birthing
Of the same situations
Probably problems*
But new opportunities.
Add some wonder in your life by waking up early!
