If I was supposed to
be defined by grades on
a paper, or by words in
a dictionary

I wouldn’t have
been born human.

If I was supposed to
be confined by margins
on an essay, or by stars
on a flag.

I wouldn’t have
the ability to create.

If I was supposed to
be defined by hatred
to my name or by my
disgraceful past.

I wouldn’t have
been born me.

Sanay na sa tapang ng kape
Mapa-barako, cappuccino, espresso
Instant coffee, iced coffee o galing
Man yan sa vendo machine.
Wala nang bisa ang caffeine

Di na ramdam ang nerbyos,
Maski ang biglaang palpitations.
At hindi kompleto ang mga gabi
Kung walang ang init, mula sa
Tasang tangan, upang ibsan ang ginaw.

Saksi sa matang puyat
Sa mga gabing walang inspirasyon
Sa tuwing nagsusulat
Sapagkat ngayong gabi ay iba na
Ang dahilan ng patuloy na pagdilat

Di na kape ang dahilan ng kaba,
Ng pagbilis ng puso at paghinga.
Marahil nga ay mas malakas ang tama nya.
Dahilang kasabay ng pagkataranta
Ay ang tulo ng pawis mula sa likod ng tainga.

Sya na rin ang isinisigaw,
Sa bawat tintang ipinahid
Na nilangkapan ng maliliit na patak ng kape
Na nagmamantsa sa sinintang pahina.
Ang bawat piyesa ay may ibang kulay na.

Hindi pala kape ang gigising sa diwa,
At hindi rin ito ang magiging dahilan
Ng pagkabalisa, Sapagkat narito ka
Ikaw na nagbigay ng malakas na tama
Tamang kung minsan ay di na pala tama.

Listen
Listen, up girl.
Listen, up girl.
Cause all these words are true.

If I lose it all?
I still have you.
If I stumble, crash snd fall?
I still have you.

If I wealthy and lost all my money?
I know I will still have you in my corner.
You always be my strongest supporter.

So if I lose it all?
I still have you.

Oh, If I lose it all?

The materialistic thing doesn't mean a thing.
But having your love(to me)means everything.

She said "I'm falling in love."

I said "I'm falling apart."
What's the difference?
