most people see me as
a happy person because
i laugh easily,
i smile a lot,
i joke a lot.

but deep down
in my heart,
i am fragile,
i can get hurt easily,
but i choose to not
show it to the world.

instead of being sad,
i choose to laugh to cover it.
maybe you can call me
"the queen of the mask"

by this,
you can tell
that most of the time
when I'm laughing,
I'm not really laughing,
i was trying so hard to hide
my sadness.

Nasaan ang dulo ng walang hanggan
Hindi ko hinanap ngunit natagpuan
Nasaan ang pangakong binitawan
Ang daang madilim na iyong inilawan
Ikaw rin ang pumatay ng sindi
Sa mga tanong na ang sagot ay hindi
Ikaw ang aking inaasam na sana
Sana masilayan kita sa bawat umaga
Sana ikaw na lang, ngayon at bukas
Sana hindi nalang ito ang wakas
Nasaan ang dulo ng walang katapusang ligaya
Kapag ba naroon na sa puntong hindi na masaya
Bakit mo binago ang takbo ng tadhana
O siguro'y una palang, hindi na tayo ang itinadhana
Nasaan ka nga ba talaga?
Ibubulong nalang sa hangin ang iyong halaga
Ipipikit ang mata habang sinasambit ang isa pang sana
Sana'y bumalik ang kinang sa'yong mata, malaya ka na
Alam ko na kung nasaan ka ngunit bakit?
Pangako. Magkikita tayong muli sa langit.

I'm tired.
Tired of everything.
I just want to sleep,
And never wake up again.

No, I'm not lazy,
I'm not running away from life.
I'm just tired of the world and myself,
And too tired to change anything.

Does a poet write only when he is sad?
Doesn't think so
But have heard so

Does a poet write only when he is upset?
Is writing a way to escape
From the world that hurt you a little too much?

Does a poet write only when he is depressed?
Why is his happiness not penned down?
Why is his prosperity not shared?

A poet doesn't write only when he is sad
All feelings, all happiness, all emotions
All of this is written

He writes when he is happy
He writes about the nature
He writes about everything and everyone

Poems are not always meant to be sad
They contain hope, love, peace
And so much more
The longest i have written. Iam a person who always writes when iam a little down but lately i have been thinking why not write about happiness. I wrote this after reading other poems  which spread happiness. This is dedicated for those people who inspired me to write this.
I don’t want you to fall in deep..
You wouldn't want to love me anymore..
For this you'll find me creep ..
I'm afraid, you won't like what's inside..
‘Tis where darkest of my demons hide...
