if you can hold her hand
without feeling torn at the idea that
one day, you may never feel its warmth again,
then you are not in love with her

do not keep muttering worn-out
i-love-you's
under your breath
just to fill the empty spaces in the air
even if they no longer beat with passion,
do not try to explain the thousands of reasons
why you love her
if you don't

because if you can live with the thought
of her name being engraved in
someone else's mind,
her fingers running through someone else's hair,
the thought of those beautiful words
whispered into lips that don't belong to you
then you have never loved her, even for a second

and the bitter fragments
of the love she gave away
were never worthy to
belong to you

In this wicked world, she sojourn
Facing every hardships and pains
Continuously, she endures
Hoping that one day all those will soon pass.

People tried to pull her down
But she remained still and tough
Life goes on no matter what,
She will be strong happen what may.

This world may be cruel
But she will not give up;
With a courageous and strong heart,
She will fight until the very end.

Ang mundo'y pawang puno ng hinagpis
Mga suliranin, laging nararanasan
Walang nagawa kundi ang magtiis
Nananalig na lahat ay kayang malampasan.

Hinahamak man ng iba
Hinding hindi siya magpapadala
Tuloy ang daloy ng buhay
Magpapakatatag siyang tunay.

Madilim at magulo man ang mundo
Hindi siya susuko
Lalaban ng buong puso
Magpapatuloy hanggang dulo.
My second poem written in Tagalog with an English translation :)

We were once strangers
Merely passing by each other
Not noticing one another
Each presence does not seem to matter.

Now every second matter
Where you are and where you've been
My heart echoed to your beating heart
Our souls intertwined fate from within.

It happened fast
But I want to make our love last;
You made me believe in forever
You melt the ice that once froze my heart.

No more lying stagnant with remorse
You brought me back to life
Now I'm stronger than before
With you by my side
Nothing can go ever go wrong.

My days of yore may be clouded with sadness
But now you filled it with happiness
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.
My first ever collab! :) Thank you so much Erenn! It is such an honor to write with you. :)

She will travel million miles
No distance would seem so far away
For the sake of someone she loves.

She will not give up
Be ready to fight
For the sake of someone she loves.

She will be tough
Though she is not that strong enough
For the sake of someone she loves.

She will not be afraid
Gather all courage she can have
For the sake of someone she loves.

She will go through hell
And get back from it
For the sake of someone she loves.

She will not just be a shoulder to cry on
But will also extend a helping hand
For the sake of someone she loves.

She will bravely face anything
Not even death would scare her
If it is for the sake of someone she loves.

She will do anything
Nothing is impossible
For the sake of someone she loves.

As the year ends,
Another one begins;
New chances to take
New memories to make;
Let the past be in the past
But carry the lessons learned;
New challenges and struggles may be encountered
But be still and know we can still make it;
May it bring new hope
Let the broken hearts heal;
Keep the faith,
Be courageous;
With head held up,
Let us welcome this new year!
Happy new year!!! :)

How much stress are you carrying around? Do you feel burdened by life's circumstances and emotional issues? Becoming more grounded and happy starts with letting go of worry and stress. I learned this in my own journey, through overcoming drug addictions, healing myself from depression, and walking away from a career in corporate to follow my heart and be a successful writer and life coach. In the process, I had to let go of a lot of things to become the person I am today.

Physically, spiritually and emotionally, I had to learn how to let go of the person I thought I should be in order to be the person I really wanted to be. Letting go of anything in life can be a little scary, but it can also be an amazing act of self-love.

Letting go of my worries and stress made a difference for me; of course I still dip in and out of some of my stress jar from time to time, but I've found this list a good reminder of what I need to strive for each day in order to reach unlimited happiness.

Here are 20 things to let go of in order to reach unlimited happiness.

1. Let go of all thoughts that don't make you feel empowered and strong.

2. Let go of feeling guilty for doing what you truly want to do.

3. Let go of the fear of the unknown; take one small step and watch the path reveal itself.

4. Let go of regrets; at one point in your life, that “whatever" was exactly what you wanted.

5. Let go of worrying; worrying is like praying for what you don't want.

6. Let go of blaming anyone for anything; be accountable for your own life. If you don't like something, you have two choices, accept it or change it.

7. Let go of thinking you are damaged; you matter, and the world needs you just as you are.

8. Let go of thinking your dreams are not important; always follow your heart.

9. Let go of being the “go-to person" for everyone, all the time; stop blowing yourself off and take care of yourself first … because you matter.

10. Let go of thinking everyone else is happier, more successful or better off than you. You are right where you need to be. Your journey is unfolding perfectly for you.

11. Let go of thinking there's a right and wrong way to do things or to see the world. Enjoy the contrast and celebrate the diversity and richness of life.

12. Let go of cheating on your future with your past. It's time to move on and tell a new story.

13. Let go of thinking you are not where you should be. You are right where you need to be to get to where you want to go, so start asking yourself where you want to go.

14. Let go of anger toward ex lovers and family. We all deserve happiness and love; just because it is over doesn't mean the love was wrong.

15. Let go of the need to do more and be more; for today, you've done the best you can, and that's enough.

16. Let go of thinking you have to know how to make it happen; we learn the way on the way.

17. Let go of your money woes — make a plan to pay off debt and focus on your abundance.

18. Let go of trying to save or change people. Everyone has her own path, and the best thing you can do is work on yourself and stop focusing on others.

19. Let go of trying to fit in and be accepted by everyone. Your uniqueness is what makes you outstanding.

20. Let go of self-hate. You are not the shape of your body or the number on the scale. Who you are matters, and the world needs you as you are. Celebrate you!
SOUNDS LIKE WISDOM TO ME!!! WISDOM YOU SEE,
ISN'T THAT THE SAME AS POETRY!!!
