We were both in the train
I saw you and called your name
I grinned and said you hi
But you stared without batting an eye...

I blushed and felt embarassed
Face turned red in a flash
My old friend did not see me
As she gawked at me so blankly...

Thinking much, I looked at the mirror...
The cheeks are round and eyes narrow
Waist and tummy have become one
My toes are gone when I look down

Oh the fallacy of real beauty
Norms are dictated by this society
Not the brainy not with personality
Tell me how would you look like Aphrodite?

I am fat, yes...
But I am not invinsible...
Beauty is defined by a vast amount of slanted perceptions and standards, spread by the society. But in fact, real beauty should not only depicts the tangible appearance, not the thin waist line nor the colour, not the race either because we were created unique from each other.

You were there with fame.
As bright as the star, that's the game.
But when the spark fades and so you go...
The bliss dwindles slowly you know
Like a shadow under the sun
Disappears when the light is gone...

They say you are elusive
That mankind chase you while they live
But souls get weary, you see
They lament and cry on their knees
In this world of condemnation
Have you just become an imagination?

Submerged in blue, deeply longing for you
Hope you come, even when rain is around
The drips are sharp, like a hasten knife
A thorn in the flesh, it lingers inside
Are you heartfelt? Or just a state of a mind?
Happiness, come with me and I'll be fine...
Happiness is elusive. You have to work hard to get it

Sa isang hardin ako ay may namataan
Isang dahong nakatungo at tila may dinaramdam
Matagal kong pinagmasdan subalit di ko maunawaan
Kaya naman nilapitan at nagsimula ng isang usapan….

Munting dahon, aking bungad, ikaw ata’y matamlay
Sukli nya’y ngiting may  kahalong lumbay
At napansin ko ang pighati sa kanyang mata
Hanggang tuluyan nang umagos ang saganang mga luha…

At sinambit nya…

“Oh ang rosas na puno ng ganda
Lahat sa kanya ay nahahalina
Subaling akong palagi nyang kasama
Ni minsan di nabigyan ng importansya"

Dagdag nya...

"Ako’y nanliliit sa aking sarili
Lahat ng suporta, sa iba ay ibinahagi
Kay rosas, kay tangkay, sila ay aking tinulungan
Sa abot ng makakaya, sila ay aking dinamayan

Subalit sa malakas na ihip ng hangin
Dulot ng bagyong kayhirap pahupain
Tila yata akoy’ nag-iisa at nalulugmok
Ako ba’y pagkain lang ng uod na gutom?”

Oh kaibigan, akin na lang nasambit
Huwag kang bibitaw at higpitan ang yong kapit
Ang mundo ay di perpekto, ang laban ay di patas
Panalangin sa Taas, gawin **** sandata at lakas.

Kung ikaw ay susuko, tagumpay ba'y makakamtan?
Ang iyo bang paglisan ay kaligayahang inaasam?
Tumayo ka nang matatag at sa buhay ay lumaban
Ano ba't ang lumbay ay sadya ren paparam...
Be kind to everyone. Everyone has his own battle.
