I wish you could see
The depth in me
The strength in me
For you...
I think you see the
Weakness in me
Because the weakness
In me
Is for you...

I want you
To know
Both

Cast me into
Your inferno
I want to go
Where you're
Going
I want to see
That flame, feel
It grow within
As a newborn
Would
The History: As if I could truly love any lesser man.

I'm sorry to hear about the difficult experiences you've had to endure. It's understandable that the fear and pain you felt at a young age would have a lasting impact on you. It takes a lot of strength to trust yourself and listen to your inner voice when those around you have caused you harm. And it's not easy to carry the weight of grief and brokenness within you.

But I'm glad to hear that you found solace in words and were able to use them as a tool for healing. It's amazing how writing can help us connect with ourselves and the world around us. It's inspiring to see that you were able to break down some of those protective walls and allow yourself to live in the present moment.

I want you to know that you're not alone and that it's okay to feel vulnerable and fragile sometimes. You are brave and resilient for continuing to listen to your heart and your inner voice, even when it's hard. And I hope that you continue to find ways to express yourself and connect with the world in meaningful ways.

That, which is before me, I take hold.
Stepping forth with the keys,
once wearily, but now growing bold. 
Down, black dog, down.
Joy: light in thin cracks extol.
My heart growing in strength
stepping out bold,
it’s the only way to learn, heal and grow peacefully old.
Down black dog, take off your crown.

We become a new kind
By feeling a new kind
Stepping out of the mind
To allow reality,
To refine,
I’m fine
In the spaces I thought I wouldn’t be fine
I’m finding myself
In the places I thought I wouldn’t be
In the spaces I thought I’d never go  

But now I see the world anew,
And all the possibilities too,
I've shed the chains that held me back,
And found the courage I once lacked.

I've learned to trust my heart and soul,
And let my instincts take control,
I've stepped outside my comfort zone,
And found a life I now call my own.

I've found a new kind of strength and grace,
And learned to love my own true face,
I've become a new kind of me,
And now my spirit is truly free.

So let us all step out of mind,
And leave our fears and doubts behind,
Let reality refine our souls,
And help us reach our highest goals.

For in the spaces we thought we wouldn't be,
We find ourselves and our destiny,
And in the places we thought we'd never go,
We find the courage to grow and glow.

.......Nang

Marunong ,
Hindi lang ikaw
Tumalima
kasi nga....
Ikaw lamang
ang dehado,
sa madumi
obligado,
Pihadong
kakapit ka
muli at tiyak
nga babalik ka.
ayy puta tang-ina
Ang bawat pahina
Kahit pa maibenta
Ikaw Ang Kwento na
Wala ka mang Kwenta
Para ka na lang sa akin
kahit pa sa loob ko ay
labag pahalagahan
walang iba na
yaman,
kundi
Binabagtas
nag-iisang lawa
sa Sagwan at Bangka
Yaring Ako ay Panimpla
Ganyan ka ba talaga
Waring mala-mapa
rumehistro na

Batid ang maha-

OO !
Hindi nga Siya.

Pero mali naman na sabihing

Tama ka !

Bagay na bagay na talaga kami sa isa't isa.

Gaya baga ng mga kaibigan ko sa kanilang salita...

" kahit Wala Naman Siya

Mabubuhay pa din Ako Nang Wala na Ngang Patumangga ! "

Sabi sa mapag-imbot na tibok ng puso kong hugis-mangga !

Siya na nga daw
Ang naturang

Pag-ibig Ng aking Buhay
at Giliw na hinirang

Subalit sa aking magiting na Diwa

na tanging saad ay hayag na hidwa

Hula sa Amin ay Laho

kahit na humadlang pa ang Tadhana...

Halo sa aking nangingilid at napupuwing kong

pananaw sa pigil na pigil Kong

Luha na may umaapaw na paniniwalang

Siya pa mismo ang nagpahayag ,

na di kami patuloy na MagLalayag !

Alam ko naman

Kahit di na kami tatagal sa 'ming pagsasama ,,,

Sinasabi ko lagi sa aking loob

Ang pabulong na ...

mahaL kitA !

" o o t o t o o "

Wala na ngang PatLang
na diringgin mo ,,,
lamang na ika'y hibang
Sa Binabasa mo ...

" atiK lahaM "

Mga sambit Kataga Bali-baliktarin man,

sa larangan ng Agos Ng Kabalintunaan,

Itong aking pinaglalaban

tunay at mananatili

alaala na Lamang ,,,

sa radar ang pawang

sukat sabihin ko hanggang

sa aking Pagsigaw.... !!!!
Siya ay Ikaw !

Pagtatapat kong muli

Mahal Ko Siya !

Minsan pa...

ay huwag mo na lang muna

Tangkain pa ang Pagbabasa

Buhat pa dun sa pinakababa na kinakatok sa Tinanikala
Patungo sa nakakalula na pagtutok Don sa tinitingala

Try to start reading verses from the bottom of a Loving heart ,
All the way into up above until you reaches in top of a hurty part !

magmula pa sa salin-wika

Binabaybay at binibigKas
Tila Binalatang sinKamas

Pagkat nawala sa itaas,
ang hinahanap ko po na Titulo...
Panustos ko pinapatas,
taimtim ang inaalyas sa Liriko...

Wala na ngang PatLang
na diringgin mo ,,,

habang Ikaw ay Libang
Sa Binabasa mo ...

" o o t o t o o "
Di bale na di

Ang bottom...
Balang-
Araw

alaala
na...
nasa bayabasan
way back in
02 02 2020
ay uusbong muli
gaya Ng...
kung saan at
Paano ko
tinanim
Ang puno
sa di ko

At Ang Ngayon
na tinengga
Ng kahapon
sa mahabang
pana-panahon
Hayaan ****
Bantayan ko
ang iyong Palayan
kahit na gaano pa
matuyot ang sanga
o maging mga
hulog na bunga,
bibig ko at panga
laging handa nga
sa pag-nganga !

(Why do you look at drinking as such a nasty thing?)

Oh, no reason.
It’s a silly little beverage,
That twisted and turned,
My childhood to shambles,
All because it was who ‘he’ was.

Oh, you’re right,
I’m just being dramatic,
It was just my innocence,
After all,
Silly me.
My ex girlfriend once gave me criticism over my negative viewpoints on people (her) who make drinking their personality. Let’s dissect this:

Bobbing and weaving,
Slipping and jabbing.

The fighting stance against a thousand opponents,
All of whom, look like me,
Is a stance I can only articulate,
In a mirror,
Shadow boxing that guy,
Strangely looking like me.

Pop-Pop BANG,
I throw punches at the air in front of me,
This bull can rage like Cinderella in a cage,
A square, roped cage,
Where life’s uppercuts put me in a daze.

The fighter in me,
One stubborn little *******,
Iron-jawed and iron-clawed,
Always taking one to the gut,
I fall down and so ruthlessly get back up.

24 and 0,
I’m the undefeated world champion,
My opponent remains consistent,
But I’m not afraid,
I got this far,
You think I can’t go a few more rounds?
In Corrections, they used to say “Stay in the fight,” when it came to enduring the strenuous work hours and horrible conditions. Guess I applied those words to my every day life.

For what is work?
To be complete.

What is strength?
The death of defeat.

Love, as well,
Is to rest one's feet.

Forces and their ends
Must meet.

Then I ask you,
What remains past death
A worthy edifice to seek?
A thought about the physical termination of energy in physics expanded in consideration of our own human values.
