Shake the cobwebs
that have stilled the beats
that silently thud in your core

Step into the light
fear has only kept you
in the shadows of your past

Liberate your true self
from the ribcage that
confined it to a comfort zone
that has been your sanctuary
for quite some time
or so you thought

Just take a deep breathe
walk past it
curiosity can
only
stir
you

Daig ko pa yata ang mga supporting roles sa mga pelikula. Kayo ang bida, at ang ako itong sumusuporta sa inyo na walang katapusan. Walang katapusang pagbulagbulagan. Walang katapusang sakit ang nararamdaman ko. Palaging pinipilit ang sarili na hindi mahulog para sayo. Palaging pinipilit sa isipan na ikaw ay para sa kaniya at siya ay para sayo.

Ngunit kahit anong pilit kahit anong pigil sa damdaming ito, bakit nahulog parin? Bakit di ko mapasokpasok sa loob ko na hindi tayo. Na ako ay ang supporting role lamang. At kayo ang binda. Siya ang leading lady at ikaw ang leading man.

Mabuti pa nga sa mga pelikula, at least merong ka partner ang female supporting role. Pero ako? Ikaw lang ang nasa paningin. Ikaw lang ang gustong yakapin. Ikaw. Ang kaisaisang bagay na di ko kayang makuha. Isang bagay na di para sa akin.

Please walk by me,
The music's cranked to hear my mind breath
I can't hear you and please don't remind me
I'm aware of the bass and snare
Keeping all other opinions out of there
It's not as simple as, "I don't care"
But at the same time I'm happily unknown,
So don't address yourself to me over here.
Leaving me in my own zone.

It's confusing, seeing me wandering by
See I'm happy, I'm laughing
You just don't have the formula to understand
That I have no master plan
I choose to dance with uncertainty
And I love it.

I love it like a random Wednesday drive
With no map, following clouds in the sky
The roads are the veins
To my pulse carrying me by
This is my zone, where I am alive
Don't squander my voice,
This place I've found is just mine
I'll stay here awhile, you can pass me by

From Hong Kong
To New Jersey,
What used to be
Different time,
Different space,
Same world,
Has now become
Montreal
To New Jersey--
Same time,
Same space,
Different world.

I want
to go back
home
back
to my comfort zone
yet
I wonder how
when I realize
I am
seven thousand miles
away
from home.

I zone out
Staring at the light
Everything becomes
A big bright blur
When suddenly
I wake up
And wonder
*What just happened?

I was swept near your shore, thinking it was
a place to land I put my feet in your thoughts
we laughed at the sunset as we drew smiley
face emojoes then the sunset on our moment.

The next few times I drifted close but winds of
change gently nudged me away. was our
moment in the sun slowly fading into memory?
then I stepped out cautiously and said these words.

"I think I like you more than just friend,

But I was not permitted again to land upon
her thoughts, not in that attention the way
I was before. what had changed why was it
that my sails now blew a different way.

"I like you, I think of you everyday,
"Your a close friend always on my mind,

Those few words "I like you, this is the
moment my sails deflated. This shore now
had reefs that friends now were kept from,
the heart loves but in many different ways.

I sail the friends zone, I'm still close to her.
Not the way I wanted, the sand never beneath
my feet. But we still laugh and we  still talk but
I'll never be in her heart, the one place I want to be.

We've all been there before
You find yourself cruising Down crushing ******* them road
Wanting to make that left into relationship city
You finally work up the nerve to tell them how you feel
It's not an easy feat because that requires a level of emotional detachment as well as nerves of iron infused steel

But as your spirits and heart jump into your throat
They hit you with that phrase that's more cracking to the heart than a certain "titanic" boat

"I'm not saying your not a good person, but I think we should just be friends"

Now, now there's a level of self doubt "Am i carrying myself wrong?" "Did they plan on doing this all along?" "Am i just a gateway to free food or free things?" "Is this the end of my hopes when it comes to dating?"

Now let me start this off by saying that you can date or not date whoever you want
But allow me to skewer the people that create the regular friend zone haunts.

Suspect 1. Is that ******* who has to have someone to date as well as someone to complain to
If you keep throwing water into the keel how do you expect to keep your relationship maintained?
If you have to complain to someone complain to your best friend
Not someone who wants to be in your significant other's stead


Suspect 2 is known by many names,
The player, the w-ore but all of them mean the same
This person is so insecure that they have to have attention on them all the time, maybe a bad upbringing is to blame.
But they keep giving others false hope, knowing full well their intentions
And this person can burn in hell or heck, or a super version of those places previously mentioned

Now both ladies and gents can play both of the two roles mentioned
So if you want to avoid drama among your circle, check those two who were mentioned

I thought
To step
Outside
Of my
Comfort zone
But I
tripped
And fell
To my knees
Then suddenly
I became
Scared to
Try it
Again
