Euphoria

lately it seems like
I only exist
when it's convenient for you
and that
freaking hurts.

Euphoria May 2016

They tell me,
Just keep your mouth shut,
Tell no one, just keep it down.
You're just a woman.

I'm all surrounded
And for sometime, I admit
I listened and let them dictate
What I can and cannot be

But I found my voice,
No, I won't shut up.
I'm never just a woman.
**I'm a masterpiece.

Kaibigan ng Kahapon

Pagod na ko sa kakasulat.
Hindi ka naman ata namumulat
Sa sakit at hinagpis na iyong dala.
Na sa puso ko'y nagsisilbing bala.
Mapapatawad pa ba natin ang isa't isa,
Sa mga sala nating nagawa na nagpatung-patong na?
Kailanman hindi ito napunta sa aking hinuha
Na tayo maiiwang may agwat at sirang-sira.
Kaibigan, ako sana'y patawarin
Sa pagpayag sa mga bagay na maaaring sumira satin.
Patawarin mo sana ang pusong nagmamahal
Na sumira sa pagkakaibigan nating kay tagal.
Nalulungkot, nasasaktan ang puso ko sa ideya
Na ang minsan kaibigan ay isang estranghero na.
Patawarin ako sa pagbibigay ng hinagpis
Sa iyong kaluluwang takot at puno ng pagtitiis.
Kaibigan, ito'y hindi pagmamalabis
Ang tanging hiling ko lang ay huwag kang tumangis
Sabihin mo lamang kung ika'y nasasaktan na
Huwag kang mag-alala, handa na kong iwan ka.
Kung ang pagkakaibigang ito ay hindi na masasalba
Sabihin mo lang, wag nang magdalawang isip pa
Dahil sa pagtakbo ng oras, lumalaki lamang ang lamat
Unti-unting nababasag, nasisira ng hindi naman dapat.
Kaibigan, sana'y sabihin mo
Kung gusto mo pa bang ipagpatuloy ito.
Pagkakaibigang puno ng tawanan
Nagapos ng pangakong walang iwanan.
Pagkaibigang pinahahalagahan
Hindi sinasadyang masira at mayurakan
Sa paglipas ng panahon
Nagbago na ang noon at ngayon
Ngunit umaasa pa rin ako
Na hanggang sa dulo'y magkaibigan pa rin tayo

Kaya pa ba natin patawarin ang isa't isa gayong tila lumalayo ka na?

The Lunchtime Poet

Words

Words can cut you
to the core
leaving you lying
on the floor

When they're spoke
it can make you cry
makes you feel like
you want to die

Other times
they can make you feel love
delivered on
the wings of doves

Words of love
and sweet romance
feeling like
you're in a trance

Another way
they can be spoken
feeling like
you're sad and broken

Hearing them spoke
can make you smile
even if
for a little while

Raising you up
or making you sour
they have such
incredible power

Some are true
and some are lies
hits you right
between the eyes

Careful of what
you say or write
it can cause
an ugly fight

All us poets
we are not zeros
we are literary
super heroes

Using our words
to express our feelings
there's no floors
and no ceilings

So keep on writing
till you die
making them laugh
making them cry

Inside Voices, Please (Stop)

I'm not sorry anymore
I've made my choices
And now that you're gone all I have are the voices
The ones that told me to get away
The ones that beg for an end to pain
They tell me what to do and where to go
They tell me lies but there's nothing else I know
So I choose to believe that this is what's best
I can't fight it so I'll lay you to rest
I don't want to let you go
But its better for you and that's all you need to know
If I can spare your life then I'm doing what's right
Because I can't let you watch when I turn out the light
If worst comes to worst then I'll live alone with this curse
And when it comes time to accept my defeat
You won't be here so you won't have to see it

Friend

You stretched out your hand
for me as i drowned.
You were there as i planned
my escape from this world.
I jumped into quicksand
but you did pull me out.
And now as I stand,
why not help me out?

I told you my sorrows
you helped me through
I knew that tomorrow
I'd still have you
I sang like the sparrows
as you brightened my view.
You were my life's arrow
you told me the truth.

So now I'm alive
most thanks to you
I feel happy inside
because of your truth
I hold you in with pride,
for the things you did do
But it seems that yo lied;
you told me no truth.

I look at you now
and see the change
I ask myself how
things can be this way
The day you vowed,
you said that you'd stay
But you've left me to drown
all over again
