...
I shouldve known
to better leave the gaps
between my fingers just gaps.
To not fill the space between my lips
when it's slightly parted.
To not fill my nose with your scent.
To not fill my mind with thoughts of you.
To not fill the emptiness
with something in your form.
Because whole things,
complete pieces ,
only know how to break.

Small red tablet
I am now drowsy

Small red tablet
I now forget *****

Small red tablet
I am now suddenly happy

Small red tablet
I now forgot what sorrow is
Meds... Meds... I really hate 'em. When will it stop?

Break the rules - not promises
Break the chains - not hearts

Make amends - not enemies
Make a brand new start

Take a stance - not hostages
Take control - not lives

Do what's right - not easier
Dream like butterflies

Have the guts to be yourself
Have the grace to go

Love yourself no matter what
Let your spirit glow

Had the line "Break the rules - not promises" for a long long while in my 'started but unfinished' backlog...
Listening to Taylor's 'folklore', came up with the rest (almost) in no time.
Thanks, bae!
Here's to a better, happier 2021 for us all!

you
i waited for you
and it’s not fair to ask
but i’m astonished that you’ve waited too

no one seems to invest in anything
a risky bet is not for the faint of heart
years of agony have fixed that fear for me
no longer can i practice inaction
for the safe bet of sorrow
is waiting for me in bed

this morning you awoke before i did
the emptiness my bed provides me
repulsed me
and i can promise you that without you
my impulses will always have me search
for the parts of you in everything
like i did when i waited

if you ever are in need of a prayer,
i hope this one finds you.

because for you, i hope
that every wish you've ever made
every dream you've ever dreamt
every intention you've hopelessly sighed to the sky
comes true
Your choice.
You choose.
Some you'll win.
Some you'll lose.
But at least you had the guys to choose.

Faced with a path, no end in sight.
Should I take the left or right?

Your choice.
You choose.
Remember, some you'll win.
Some you lose.
Choices are important in life. You have to know that you always have a choice. No matter what. Then own it. Even if you made the wrong choice. Doesn't mean you can never make a right one. Own your choices, use them
Lola una kong nasilayang maging  tunay na nanay.
Pagmamahal sayo'y tunay na naramdaman.
Mabuting Pangaral ay sayo unang natutunan.
Minsan mo  mang napapagalitan at napapalo ito'y sa ikabubuti ko naman.
Katuwaan ay nakakamtan pag ikaw ay nasisilayan lalo't makita sa mga mata at labi ang iyong kasiyahan sa twing kami sayo ay dumadalaw.
Mga anak mo at apo ay nakukompleto para pangungulila mo ay maibsan.
Sa twing pasko ay paparating pananabik sa puso ay walang mapaglagyan dahil sa ikaw at ibang pamilya ay makakasalo.
Lola ikaw ang una kong naging tunay at tapat na kaibigan.sa tuwing ang puso ay may dinaramdam ikaw ang unang sinasabihan.mga pangaral na ibinibigay mo ay malugod kong pinapakingan.
Ngunit isang araw kami ay nagimbal ikaw daw ay may karamdaman,pilit ang oras ay hinahabol upang ikaw ay masilayan at makausap man lang.
Ngunit tadhana ikaw ay ipinagkait at damdamin ay sinaktan,nang malaman  na ikaw ay tuluyan ng namaalam.
Masakit ang yong paglisan,kirot sa puso hangang ngayon ay nararamdaman.
Pasko ay paparating na ngunit ikaw ay wala na
Sabi nila tangapin na lang ang yung paglisan,ngunit paano tatangapin kung ang puso ay hindi pa handa sayong pamamaalam.
Puso ay hindi parin matangap na kami ay tuluyan mo ng nilisan.
Pangungulila sa puso sana ay iyong maibsan,sa panaginip ko sana ikaw ay dumalaw.
Always love your grandparents,you cannot get another one If you lost them once.

For once we were a whole.
Two little fractals of this great grand universe.
Together.
We found recognition into each other’s eyes.
And we laughed.
Just laughed.
For hours.
Fireworks.
You stopped laughing for a moment
and looked at me seriously.
“So...” you started softly.
“In years I haven't felt as comfortable as this moment in my life.
And this moment... is like every other time
I am with you”.

Today I sifted through hundreds of poems
Reading each one, letting the words seep into my heart
I breathed in the broken lines of broken souls

I long to tell these weary poets that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't much further
That despite their exhaustion, there is still hope
That the pain is all worth it in the end

So, dear poet, who has happened upon this,
I wish for you to feel peace, or at least I wish for you to feel something
I wish for you to keep fighting
I wish to tell you all of the secrets to finding love

But now I hesitate
Who am I to tell you to be strong
When I am simply quite the opposite
Who am I to tell you to keep walking
When I fell to my knees long ago
Who am I to tell you to leave your pain behind
When I am wallowing in grief
And guilt
And disdain for my own self

Dear poet, I may not know the secrets
Or life's purpose
Or the beauty you bring to the world
But I do understand
And even if I may not know you, or your story, I hold love for you

This love is pure and true and I reserve it in my heart for the day you may need it most
Which is perhaps today
For today
I sifted through hundreds of poems
For an hour or so
I scrolled through your words
And I felt nearly every one
