Just a few years back, I remember how I tried not to mingle
As I am being surrounded by new faces.
I prefer to wait for my colleagues from other sections
Than spending time with the unwanted people.

I've been clinging so much with the past
That I almost missed the beauty of the present.
So, I slowly adjusted as someone had lead the way
Finally, I have a home to stay.

But things happen for a reason
Like what my friend have written.
On how such a wind can change
The direction of the wings it takes.

I suddenly felt like an alien
From my very own planet.
An area that I used to call home
Is now conquered by people I don't even know

too sweet

oh darling,
your words are too sweet
they rot your teeth
poisoning every kiss
you plant on my lips

pills, they gave me pills

pills, they gave me pills

nightmares and demons
creeps in the dark
lurks in my bed, in my head
pills, they gave me pills
to make them go away
oh doctor, your prescribed
medicines don’t help
the monsters are at bay
sometimes they are quiet
but fck, they never go away

the medicines don’t help

melting limbs

I am not myself;
not in form...
As I look on the past
and see someone else.
So, I understand
is the fate of me now.
I am an energy,
hovering within
this entity.
But it is not me.

lost in a world that doesn’t exist

sometimes i wish i was never born
sometimes i have to fullfill those          meaningless places with clothes,
makeup and my smile.
sometimes i want to mute my voice so that no one can listen to what im saying
they dont understand me anyways.

     i want to mean something in this world
                      mean something to someone

But no one is looking for the good.
they all want to look only when i’m failing.

• am i interesting only when
i end up
                  dead?

i was just laying in my bed when all these thoughts came to mind. its like someone put their thought to my mind

100 Salita Galing Kay Ysa

100 Salita Galing Kay Ysa

Kung may isang daang tula
Mga tula para kay Stella
Mga tulang sinasaad at nilalathala
Ang puso at mga nadarama
Na nagmula sa isang binata

Isang emosyon, isang daang tula
Para sa kanyang tanging sinisinta
Nais ko ring magsulat, lumikha
Hindi isang daan, kundi isa
Isang may isang daang salita

Mga salitang sana'y sapat na
Hindi ko gustong sumobra pa
Kaya tanging hiling ko talaga
Na kasabay ng mga salita
Maubos na ang aking nadarama

Tinakdang bilang ay nalalapit na
Ngunit bakit iniisip parin kita
Isang daan na, tama na
Pagod na akong mahalin ka
Pagod na ako maging tanga

Oo hype rider na hahaha

Eclipse

Look up, what shape do you see me tonight?
- Said the lovely moon

A solar eclipse
What a lovely sight
Seen by the lucky eyes

how fascinating it is to know that at one point of your life, you will be able to overcast a powerful sun.

Unrestrained

Ysa Pa

Unrestrained

Within defiled waters
Shedding raven tears
Alive through tainted blood
What else could one fear
Carrying a cerulean heart
Wielding neither sword nor bow
Wearing arrows and daggers
Dancing amidst the fiery snow
With eyes of burning crimson
Soul as calm as the stormy sea
With unwavering courage and hope
Enough to make the mountains flee
She spoke with a voice, that of a child
A child of war, a child who is king
Making the skies and stars tremble
Statues weep, and the forests sing
Ominous but casts no shadow
Harmless with menace as counterpart
She was the musician, the writer and the artist
As she was the song, the lines and the art

Kailan

why can't it be the two of us...

Kasabay ng pagkawala ng mga linya
Sa saliw ng isang malungkot na musika
Muli na namang pumatak ang mga luha
Na unti- unting nagpalabo sa aking mga mata

Muli na namang tinatanong ang sarili
Bakit nga ba hindi,
Bakit nga ba hindi tayo?
Bakit nga ba walang tayo?

Hindi ko alam ang mararamdaman
Sa tunog ng iyong pangalan
Mga ala ala ay bumabalik
Parang sinasaksak aking dibdib

Akala ko okay na ako
Akala ko lang pala
Akala ko tanggap ko
Hindi pa pala

Muling nagtatanong sa sarili
Ano ba ang aking mali
Patuloy ang pagtulo ng mga luha
Sa indak ng malungkot na musika

Kailan kaya magiging payapa
Ang pusong mas durog pa sa paminta?

Malungkot lang talaga ako ngayon. Trying hard sa tagalog poem.

Pray for Marawi

I can't sleep
The horrible news is bothering me
My fellow Filipinos in Marawi
Are being attacked by Maute Group/ISIS
They are burning down the place
The houses, the hospitals, the churches
And if you can't prove that you are a Muslim
They'll take you as a hostage
Those who don't wear hijabs "are taken care of"
Horrible, really horrible
My fellow filipinos there are suffering
Muslims and non-muslims
It's not supposed to be about religion
It's supose to be being people, human
It's suppose to be "humanity"

*"Save me from people of the world" Psalm 17:14

It's horrible, really horrible. How can these people be so cruel?? It's really scary, really scary

Almighty God, I pray for my fellow Filipinos to stay strong amidst this crisis. May we find strength in each other and may you protect each of us from those inhuman people. We pray for peace and unity. Amen
