if you can be anything
be kind.

we are all just humans.
we laugh at cute cat videos,
hum little songs,
eat raw cookie dough and laugh when it makes one giant cookie mass.

life is made of these moments.
people deserve so much love.
how often do we remind our families we love them?
is it often enough?
how many days do we think only of ourselves.
human nature is beautiful and terrible and stunning.

somehow hate seeps through the cracks of time and makes us bitter and angry.

and it's fine to be angry.
just don't let it consume you.
remember sometimes that there
are old folks out there who still tease each other,
there are babies who giggle when you play peekaboo,
there are dogs with slobbery tongues who need head scratches,
there are children spinning and laughing when they fall.
humams are important.
we are special.

even people we say we hate.
i thought i hated my mom
but i know she cares
and i have seen her run when she thought i was in danger.
i have seen her break into tears at getting a DUI and trying to explain to a child that she might lose her job.

being human is tough.
our hearts harden trying to protect ourselves but
we end up locking people out.

in trying to avoid being hurt
we hurt the ones we love.

please never forget that each person you meet has more than just facet.
people are stunningly complex.
don't judge someome til you've walked two moons in their moccasins.

humans are worth so much.
i don't know what i am saying
but i mean it with all of me.
i love you.
you deserve so much.

stray dogs

Parasite
lost in the middle, gone in the wild
roaming from every door
but a slam is all i got,
once, i followed someone
before i became no one
just like this stray dog beside me
i, a stray human, no one left behind me

Nalilito

Sino nga ba ang pipiliin?
Ako'y nalilito sa babae'ng mamahalin,
Parehas na inaangkin,
Sino nga ba ang mamahalin?

Sila'y parehas na mahal,
Parehas na espesyal,
Parehas na minamahal,
Sino nga ba ang orihinal?

Puso'y nalilito,
Ang puso ko'y magulo,
Sino nga ba ang paborito?
Sino nga ba ang gusto?

Parehas na ayaw mawala,
Pinipiglan ng masasayang alaala,
Pagmamahal sa ka nilang dalawa gusto nang mawala,
Upang dina makagawa ng malaking pinsala,

11pm.

kiana
the feeling
of 11pm
on my skin
while lavender
encases me
is the dream
I stay awake for
before actually
going to sleep
the love of a night owl.
