Withered
Bluepetal Aug 2022
Your eyes, they don’t speak
But I listened
My heart, you didn’t ask
But I’ve given
….
My love so deep
You got drowned
Your love so dry
It withered

Unworthy
Bluepetal Aug 2022
You just changed suddenly
And stop seeing me
Isn’t it funny?
How destiny played with me
It is truly sad when you have fought for someone who was not worth fighting for...

Old love
Bluepetal Jan 2022
In my dream we were just as happy
Like the old days how we used to be
But it was just a dream ...
And far from reality

We faced the high eyebrows
Tried to beat all the odds
But we knew
From the start
The time will come
That we’ll be drifted apart

Because You and me
Are never meant to be
Our destiny is our enemy

Perhaps in the next life time
Once again
You can be mine
But for now you may stay
As a fragment of
My silly memory

The Introvert
Bluepetal Jan 2022
Growing up, competed with my cousin
In gatherings, she could dance and sing
When talent and beauty meets
She became a crowd favorite

From that day I doubted my existence
And slowly walked away from the “audience”
Then, Lonely became my new name
Will I win in this life’s game?

I have eluded every conversation
Pen and paper became my companion
Talking to people is not my passion
And even chose a mundane profession

Tried many times to break free
Reverse the drama of my personality
But it’s like holding water in your hand
Change maybe easy, perhaps with a magic wand

The tears I can’t show
With the rain let it flow
May all the pain I have
Be gone with the wind’s strike

Sea, with your vastness
Can you absorb all my agony?

Sun, with your brightness
Can you light up my confused mind?

Storm, with your rage
Can you shatter my depression?

I have to break this chain
To keep me sane
For the sake of my liberty
In the name of my sanity

My Downfall
Bluepetal Jan 2022
My mind,
Shaping the melancholy

My heart,
Lamenting in agony

My pride
Rejoicing, claims victory

My self
Succumbing, tired & weary

My downfall
Blaming, nobody but me…

Inside this shell
Bluepetal Feb 2018
Inside this shell
I will no longer see
The sun wrapping the fading moon
Indomitably defying the wolf's groom
Slowly kissing the ***** on the high
Til its glory & brilliance burst in the sky

Inside this shell
I will no longer hear
The descant of the birds
Sitting on the shivering trees
Whether they're happy or sober
Doesn't matter which sounds better


Inside this shell
I will no longer see
How the mist of the morning dew
Gives breath to the flower anew
After the Night showered tears upon
Beautiful crystals on the lawn it has become

inside this shell

I choose to be alone
Because i am not that strong
That people thought me I am
And the agony can stay until I say
Even if the pain goes thru my vein

I am tired to prove myself
So I'd just hide inside this shell
And I'd live the life I want
And not what others tell
As I am drained in  complete exhaustion
Living someone else' expectations

I have helped others like a candle
My flame lighted their way
But while their path is getting bright
Mine is becoming dark
And slowly my light is fading
The white candle is now melting...

I am not invinsible
Bluepetal Feb 2018
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.

Happiness...
Bluepetal Feb 2018
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

Ang Matamlay na Dahon
Bluepetal Feb 2018
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.

— The End —
