When life is thrown at you and hurled too fast,
You can’t even see, or even look past,
The struggles that hit you so evenly.
They leave no room for purpose or meaning.

I tried to color inside life’s challenging lines,
But realized quickly there’s not even enough time,
To draw what was always invisible.
The colors I used are not even giveable.

When you ask my name, and what you should call me,
I ignore the preference because it’s not worth recalling.
I’m just another lonely boy in a lonely world,
Where emotions and hardships are suddenly hurled.

The impact they cause is too painful to describe.
But if you felt what I felt, you’d know how I’d die.
It jabs you in the heart and never stops stabbing.
Yet I’m still standing here, my heart still beating,

It gives all it can give, pumping every bit of blood.
It doesn’t give up and just give up trying,
For it knows it’s ultimately dying.
It pumps as long as the sun is still rising.

Through this painful life I try to smile all because of you. The touch of your hands saved my soul from dying and the sound of your voice cure my broken heart. Thanks for giving me a reason to be happy once again..
I am very much happy you came into my life

sa bawat minutong lumilipas
tila may pagkakataong napakabilis
ngunit pasakit dibdib ang pagkabagal
Ang paligid ay nagmimistulang kawalan
Hindi napapansin sa kahihintay
paghintay sa oras na muli kang mangusap
paghintay sa pagasang magtatagal lahat
paghintay sa katagang "babalik" lahat
Lumilipas ang gabing puno ng katahimikan
tanging pagbigkas mo lamang
ang siyang gigising sa diwa
Subalit tila ang paghintay ay walang patutunguhan
Hanggang sa unti unting nang sumuko
pagasa'y nawala
paghihintay ay natigil
hiling ay naglaho


*itigil na ang ilusyong ito.

I've felt many different types of pain, but the most intense has been the pain of healing, and unfortunately that specific type of pain can only be felt when you are very much awake to absorb the whole of it.

I feel lost,
forgotten,
undiscovered,
disregarded,
neglected, and
past recollection.
I am stuck in
Painful Oblivion.

I held the sun in my left hand.
The pen in my right.
Placed the sun above and squeezed.
As my blood began to boil
My skin began to peel,
My right hand shook,
But I couldn't let go.
What laid on the paper
Was the yellow flame from the sun, full of red blood
and black ink: The witches brew.
I growled, at the top of my voice!
"What more can you take?!?!
My life?? Take it, it's yours!
My poetry? It was written,
long before I was born!
My hand? I have no need for it anymore!"
Soon enough,
The sun was floating,
Above my wrist, where I dared to hold on.
It took what it wanted,
And left me a present,
Above the now cauterized flesh.
When I'm tired of writing. Poetry is not pleasant to me. Sometimes I feel as if it writes itself, and leaves me with an open wound.

Please set me free..

From my painful past.

From the dreams that'll never become reality.

From the hopes that he'll come back to me.

I no longer want to be a slave to a love that has ended.

Please, let me let go.

I consider reaching out to you
Wondering if I should
I must step back and remind myself
If you wanted to speak you would

I’m no longer a priority
The realization is painful
With my heart
I should have been more careful
