1 2 3
there's this thing
going in my mind that I have to set free

4 5 6
I have been keeping this
for a long time already

6 7 8
the more I contain it
it feels like to break free

breathing in and out
trying to clear the clouds
wont let this anxiety take over me

12345678
counting over and over
until I can no longer...

Flounder

often I lost myself
in wanting too much
i want fame
i want success
all the things I do
to get that name
but everything goes down the drain
the moment I fell
as I cry in pain
in the ground where I fell
I cried out for help
guess what?
no one came
this is the price I pay
wanting so much in this life
got me astray

Ulan

hindi ko na mabilang
kung ilang beses na ako
nabasa sa ulan
may mga panahong
dahil sa aking katangahan
biglang bumuhos ang
napakalakas na ulan
may mga pagkakataong
sinasadya din magpaulan
wala gusto ko lang
kailangan ba laging
may dahilan?
simula nang araw ay
makulilim na langit ang bungad
ang payong na isinantabi
pagdinila ko'y walang ulan
na nangyayari
nagbibiro na naman ang langit
sa panahong gusto kong magbabad
at maglakad sa ilalim ng ulan
hindi lumapat sa tuyong lupa
na siyang aking apak

Aparisyon

lulubog lilitaw
haharap sa'yo
tila kahapon
hindi nagkasakitan
mangangamusta ngayon
bukas wala na naman
ang gulo mo
ano ba talaga ang sadya mo?
andito ka na naman
babalik na tila
parang wala lang
maawa ka naman
utak ko naguguluhan
mga mensahe kong iyong binabalewala
kahit seen hindi mo magawa
parang tanga nag-aantay
may pag-asa pa ba o wala?
kaya ako'y titigil na
sa kahibangang kay tagal kong inalagaan
tatakbo palayo
sa anino **** nagmistulang
naging multo na ng nakaraan ko

Thank you, I'm Sorry.

should I begin with an apology
or thank you?
you have given me a chance
to know you
they say people come and go
sometimes even if you don't
want to you'll have to let them go
maybe I should begin by saying
"I'm sorry"
there are days I push you
just because I want to deal it alone
and hope you don't resent me
all I can think of is to protect you
and I'll end all of this with a
"thank you"
for being there with me
when everyone else walked away

Clash

always making everything
feels like a competition
from attention down to affection
when everything gone wrong
end up in culpability
we're going in circles
then we ask ourselves
what's wrong?
we could've avoid this mess
if only you hold your horses,
aren't you tired playing this game?

Obscure

the pages of my notebook
are bleeding with broken poetry
feelings hiding within
tears falling while writing
painful memories seeping through
vulnerable thoughts can be found too
it's like a vast ocean of nostalagia
a dungeon full of unsung verses
a prisoner of a caged mind

City Life

sauntering the busy streets
with tall buildings on sight
as the day turns to night
city lights starts to shine
bright
will I ever get used
of this kind of life?

Spectrum

I saw a rainbow today
it made me think of you
sometimes you are blue
and I remember that day
you're wearing a red shirt too
as we walk around
I see violets on the
ground
tall trees of green
there are yellow bells too
we wander this
small familiar town
taking our time
walking and talking
we saw an indigo
colored car passed
by
as the sun sets
burst its orange
hues
its been a long day
I enjoyed
spending it with
you

Poem of the day.

Closure

and there are these
silent moments
that no one
seems to notice
but here I am
sitting
with my knees
trembling
and my heart
racing
as I waiting for
him
with so much
anticipation
forcing myself
not to stutter
should I say 'Hi'?
or should I say 'Good bye'?
my inner demons
tells me to run
but my mind says
'Let it be done'

Poem of the day.
