O kay rami ng mga bilang,
O kay rami ding kabilang,
Sa kumpol ng mga braha,
Isasalaysay ang aking storya.
Sampu, sampung taon siguro ang hihintayin ko bago ka maligawan,
Siyam, ika'y naumpisahang magustuhan habang nasa ika syam na baitang,
Walo, palitan mo lang ang letrang o ng a, yan ang pag-asa ko,
Pito, dahil nung ika pitong baitang, di agad nakilala,
Anim, at sana sa anim na taon sa aking sekondarya ang bawat araw ay mahalaga,
Lima, at sana sa ikalimang taon, ikay mas makilala pa,
Apat,  apat na araw nalang ang natitira sa linggong ito,
Tatlo, at mahigit pa sa tatlong oras ang naigugugol ko sa pagsulyap minsan sa iyo,
Dalawa, dalawang taon nalang ang natitira na ikay makakasama,
Kahit di man ako ang iyong hari, ituturing naman kitang reyna, sabihing ako'y tuso man, o yung madalas na nagpapatawa,
Ang hiling ko'y maging alas mo aking sinta.
Weird and random

When I’m sober I’m
so good,
so high on myself.
I talk to my friends and
I love that they love me
just the way I am.
But right now I’m drunk
and I’m falling in love
with all my exes,
all the people who are
poisonous.
I need validation
so I text boys who
I know will get off
on my words, on the
pictures I send them.
I have a whole list of their numbers
for nights like these.
I don’t even know
if they’d recognize me
in the morning.
I don’t even recognize myself
as I delete messages,
words, feelings.
No one will ever know
all the things I crave
if they don’t know me
sober.

i am so small
compared to the mountains
i am so little
compared to the sea
i am so tiny
in comparison to the islands
and i am so large
compared to what i thought i would be

Ang agwat, ang layo,
Ang distansya mula sayong puso,
Ano ba ang mga kayang hahamakin,
Para sa munting damdamin.

Ipapaalam, ipagsisigawan,
Ilalahad sa kahit anong paraan,
Pabulong man o pasulat,
Buo't walang kulang, walang daglat.

Itinitibok ng puso,
Nahalo na sa dugo,
Mga katagang "mahal kita",
Dumadaloy sa'king sistema.

Utak, may ibang mga kataga,
"Sana ngayo'y kasama kita",
Hinihiling ng bawat selula,
Ang iyong haplos, ang iyong kalinga.
Sinusubukang kalimutan na hinahanap ko ang pakiramdam na kasama ka subalit di ka maalis sa isipan ko sinta :(

Stricken with, like fate.
Idolizing. Idealizing.
What makes it so?
Curiosity to obsession.

Obsession to love?

What is love?

Sought after, like gold.
Idolizing me.
Yet none to succeed but for a fleeting moment.
I envy those with their beloveds.

Even those whom have suffered loss, but still love.

Emptiness.
Craving the “good” feelings.
Like fantasies. Wanting someone who isn’t real.
Never to give wounds time to heal.

To invalidate, or embrace?
If I don’t know what is real
And if I don’t know who I am,
Do I follow my heart?
Or is naivety my wander?

What I seek is never mine to keep.
All stories are read, not written.
Not written by me.
Spur of the moment feelings of brokenness.

Yes, I have thought about the moon,
The way it shines only at night
The way it outshines the other stars
The way it gets its lights so bright

Yes I have thought about the sun,
And how it makes everyone see
And how it makes the flowers grow
And how it makes the children glee

Yes, I have thought about love and how the sun gives its light
To the moon who will always, shine so bright

Yes, I have thought about how the moon, does not give anything in return, to the sun

If you love someone, then don't be like the sun
If you are being loved then don't be like the moon
For true love is not one-sided, and both will give the same
For true love is not in vain, and it will heal the growing pain

And true love is not losing yourself for  an unseen sacrifice
A broken and tattered heart would be its price

Nakakatawa dahil hanggang ngayon di ko parin alam kung bakit ganito. Kung bakit nasasaktan parin ako tuwing nakikita ka kasama niya. Sumasakit ang puso ko na para bang tinutusok nang isang libong karayom kung nakikita kong natutulala ka sa kaniya. Kumukulo sa inggit ang kung ano man sa kalooblooban ko dahil alam kong di ako. Di ako ang gusto mo. Di ako ang taong pinagbubuhusan mo nang pagmamahal. Di ako ang taong pinaghahangaan mo. Di ako.

Matagal ko na tong alam. At dapat matagal ko na ring natanggap. Pero bakit masakit parin? May gusto pa ba ako sayo? Sana naman hindi. Dahil kahit anong sakit ang nararanasan ko, di ko parin pipigilan ang pag iibigan nang dalawa kong munting kaibigan. Hindi man pansin sa iba na ako'y ganito, okay lang. Okay lang basta't kayo ay masaya. Okay lang. Kaya pa.

Poetry is beautiful or so they say
It's just ink - filled paper
Or typewritten chatter
Much to my dismay

You see, I think I now know what is true
Baby, word after word
No matter how absurd
Could be beautiful if made for you
For Ayn
