do you Wonder Why it’s the negative things we tend to believe When people practice to deceive Nine people say Something good Yet we glam onto The one negative Whether we Should I’m a daft Old cow A fat sough Plain Jane Implications Of a name I never Thought I was Something I was Not Brow beat from Head to my feet I could never Measure up The pedestal Is too steep We are the worst critics In a cynic world we create We never give   Ourselves a break Go easy For goodness sake I was never one of the pretty people Gilded Castle, Golden steeple People in glass houses should never throw stones Far Too much to atone He who is without sin, Cast the first stone I’m A rough ragged Rock With intentional purposeful refinement Even while blemishes are detected My inner self starting to show with no objective Patient polish purposeful perfection I became a brilliant diamond Now I shine I have grown in my reflection No more negative rejection Without stern objection I’m No longer a whipping post Live love, laugh Father Son Holy Ghost Journey to self be a loving host Inspired Songs; 1) Dream by Aerosmith 1973 2) I got a name by Jim Croce 1973 3) Be good to yourself by Frankie Miller 1977 4) Shining star by Earth, wind and fire 1975

Low Self Esteem
A colon stands for something; a semi-colon stands before something. I think I am the former.

I am a colon
“ 74th Birthday Morning, phone ringing for wishes… unattended cup of tea and newspaper waiting for the sip… unattended something not right… blood in stool, why? the fear… diagnosed stage 3, self ….silence… family…tears… question from mind : Life is at its evening , is night now near? answer from will power : Life has a new day every day and evening to disappear. months and weeks… chemos & radiation , pain , irritation exercise & running , will power , motivation cheers over jeers close competition then… ….the long day ….surgery preference …on two legs not the stretcher fun over depression, proudly walking the red carpet of the theatre few needles in back , ….. six hours of unconsciousness silence… ….dark deep silence then the flash… a rainbow from nowhere…. in brightness …. appears son’s face …. congratulations you have won the battle operation success-full the smile of his will power replies , yes I hear ”

they blocked me
mula sa bintana ng mga katotong tahanan may pinaghuhugutan balitang pinagkainan merong budbod di-umano ang bibingka sa bilao madalas di-ginugusto,,minsan nama'y napapa-tipo. bihira man ang daloy sa hiwa ng pagkakataon nariyan pa rin ang kuro at haka sa loob ng kahon sa tulong ng walang patumanggang bulong na hindi naririnig ang tunog sa likod ng pulang bilang matatanaw may abiso sa kidlat na walang kulog. ilako ang lakbay ng himay sa mga nagdidilang anghel para mahumpay ang tamlay mula sa pader na papel ibahagi ang natatanging kuwento sa oras ng hanay ng kasarinlan mag-manman sa likuran bago dumating at gumawa sa tambayan matabunan man sa araw-araw ang pag-apaw ng dalaw sa estado wag mag atubili,hataw lang sa paggalaw muling ibangis ang talento bagamat ano mang bulwak meron ang katha sa salamin,matapos na maisulat sa ere man hanggang sa paglapag ng tuyong dahon,may mangha na ipamu-mulagat sapagkat hinde mababanaag sa mga nilakaran ang iniwang bakas sa pinanggalingang upuan dahil ang dati nang puting kulay sa loob na 'ala pang bahid magkukulay dilaw sa pagkakaroon ng matimtimang masid at kung ang inaasahan ay taliwas sa nakatakda,,alin lang yan sa dalawa : bumilis ang pagbagal ng patak kaya manunumbalik ang dati nang sigla o malamang na mangamba sa pakiwaring hindi daratnan dahil sa pagkaantala? kung magkagayo'y ituloy lang ang pagkasabik sa pagtatapos pagkat magkakabunga!

no. 1, pop perfect record. The energy of dialing wars- each canvas has its temples splintered. Put down the smoking, and you can beat them with nerves. Your new revolution! My father was your father until you had him shot while he was sleeping under his bed. Now you make popcorn and read the funny papers alone. even. You bought me that cheap cologne from the mall. Thanks little brother. [] True [] Love [] Story [] You hugger-mugger, slubberdegullion, crapulous lumming. Then enecate and banjax. You have always been the logomachous one.

it has been a little over a week since you found out what flying feels like gained your angel wings or maybe even bird wings and flew your way to family way up in the sky and it has been a little over a week since i found out what sinking feels like discovered my anchor and was pulled down too far to be able to breathe i knew you for s e v e n t e e n years a lifetime of smiles and comfort hand holding baby feeding watching someone grow up while watching another one fall i wanted to give you the world as my second mother as someone willing to lend a hand or maybe a sword in a daily battle saying goodbye was hard because i didn't want to i shouldn't have to only that i will see you again soon i will love you much more until then it has been a week since you've gained your wings it has been a week since i've gone to school things flash by quicker than i thought they could thank you for lending a smile a hand a sword a foot a leg a simple joke it has been a week since things have started to change and i am scared of what's to come of life without our families wikipedia, aunt, sister, mother, best friend, know it all sassy medical extraordinaire but i am hoping you'll lend a wing, too until then i will love you much more
