Optimism can be,
Very much fulfilling, or,
Exhaustingly bland.
Pessimism makes a,
Darkened cloud cover up the,
Shining, blinding Sun.
Cynicism blurs the,
Line between friend or foe 'cause,
Everyone’s corrupt.
Altruism means that,
I should help others without,
Pondering the cost.

Omens are not real,
if you just look carefully –
from where you're looking.

I want to experience myself
through your eyes
And show you the world through mine
The beautiful place you occupy
in my heart and mind

i am someone's story. in one person's tale, i am the girl who plays the role of the comic relief. the one who makes people laugh and smile, as well as providing humor. in one another person’s storyline, i am the main lead, bringing to life all of those desired characteristics. in another's eyes, i may be the wise sage who gives guidance at critical stages in their lives. however, when i stop to think about it, i find that i am the antagonist in someone else's plot. the bad guy, to be precise. and no matter how hard i try to change my ways, the reality is that i am who i am to them, and in certain situations, there is nothing i can do to change it. in their book of life, i am the arrogant evil villain.
but then you came. everything changed when you walked into my life out of nowhere. you appeared in my life like a shooting star and filled my heart with bliss. and i've never felt safer or vibrant than i do when i'm around you. not once in my life have i felt so alive. it seemed as if you were unveiling new layers of greatness to me with each passing moment. i've never seen that much gentleness in a lone soul before. in the shadows, you were gently carving out a space for yourself in my heart without me even realizing it.
you embraced my grief as if it were your own and showed me love as no one else ever could. everytime i felt like i was on the verge of falling, you stayed with me. when i was weak, you were my pillar of support. when i needed someone to weep on, you were there for me. because of your smile, i was able to make my existence on this planet worthwhile. for a long time, it seemed impossible to feel so connected to someone. however, it is quite simple to feel intertwined with you. i can't tell you how good it makes me feel. i've began to realize that i had no idea what it felt like to be truly loved until i met you.

Shout and hold your banners high!
The drumbeat guides us step by step
Warriors raise voices of song
And the heavens will quake as we march forth
Righteously wrapped in absolution
Absolved of any of our sins of war
Truly we are the glorious few!
And belt now our anthem
To besieged strongholds
We never stopped to question
Never truly learned the words
And our anthem rings across mountains
Echoes through deep valleys
Of a long-forgotten cause

Telling someone who was raised to believe something to be one way that it can be another, is like telling a fish in a fishbowl about the oceans and their creatures.

Pagpanaw ng dilim ako'y namimintana
Pinapatay ang panaginip ng hindi alintana
Mula sa silangan ng iyong bintana
Ang yungib at sulok ay aking pinapana
Pagmasdan ako'y walang nakagagawa
Payak na mata'y sa sinag ko'y luluwa
Huwag nang subukan pakiusap ko nawa
Sa payo ko ay makinig at matuwa
Ako'y nakamasid sa lahat ng mga gawa
Sa paghihirap mo ako ang nananawa
Sanggol na nagugutom na nagngangawa
Hala gawa, nasa Diyos ang awa!
Pakanluran ang aking binabagtas
Ang lahat ay umaalma sa pinsala kong lakas
Paumanhin sa kapangyarihan kong batas
Ito ang iniatang sa akin ng pinakamataas
Lulubog kung marating ang hangganan
Magbabadya na ang kadiliman
Nang pagdating ko kayo ay nag-alisan
Sa pag-alis ko'y diyan kayo magdadatingan

Hayag ang liwanag ko sa gabi
Kung walang ulap sa aking tabi
Ako'y malaking ilaw na nakasindi
Na tila hindi napupundi
Ako'y gising sa gabi'ng malalim
At nagsisilbing ilaw sa daang madilim
Ngunit ang lahat ay matatago sa lilim
Kung ang langit ay makulimlim
Ako'y tiyak na masisiyahan
Kung sandaling pagmamasdan
Lumabas mula sa iyong tahanan
At mamangha sa ilalim ng buwan
Buwan ang aking pangalan
Masdan ang aking kagandahan
Bituin ang aking mga kaibigan
At ang tahanan namin ay ang kalawakan

I don’t understand the pleasure in cheating each other,
I don’t understand the unity in hating one another.
I don’t understand the differences between me and you,
But these eyes will never see the way that others do.
I don’t understand the dangers in walking alone,
When no one walks to my beat and I want to roam.
I don’t understand why going barefoot is a sin,
With my being connected to earth, and my feet soaking it in.
I don’t understand why big pharma drugs are fine,
But plants are not okay.
I don’t understand everyone’s anger toward my ritual
Of dancing in the rain.
Stranger sees my pain,
Stranger calls me strange,
Mirror calls me vain.
A fast pulse through the veins,
Enough to jolt me back to reality:
I’ve made it this far in the world
With only me being proud of me.
I don’t understand the majority of things
Most other humans do.
These eyes will never see from their
Point of view.

My moon's half full,
Your's, half new;
Which half of the whole
Best suits you?
You loved with only half a heart,
Understood with half a brain,
You'd have been the better half,
If you'd half a mind to stay.
Leaving was only half the battle,
We waged a half-arsed war;
I ran for cover with a full notion,
I was getting half, no more.
Better half than none at all.
Is what they said to me;
But they don't know the half of it;
Believe half of what you see.

I admired her paleness.
It was like the bitter stillness of the winters landscape.
Or the soft, fragile feathers encased in my bedside pillow.
No color amongst those perfect pore-less cheeks.
Her lips a crimson red; a rustic brown, stained her teeth as she smiled.
I never thought I’d bestow my eyes upon such beauty, a goddess among the earth.
A wolf among mere sheep.
I wanted nothing more than to lift my hand and graze that face but I mustn't.
Because she shined so bright against the rest and I refused to dull that shine.
My muddied hand was not worthy of such perfection.
I wanted no other to lay eyes on her skin, hair, body.
I would sooner gouge out my own eyes than loose sight of what I am seeing before me.
She will be my last vision, oh but what a vision she was.

as i grow older
i see things way deeper
than its meaning
you see...
home isn't just a home
some are made
with body,mind,
and soul
happiness isn't just a feeling
some are choices
and some are simply made with tiny voices
gifts aren't just things
some are spent with time
and some are made with words that rhymes
that's how we conclude on life
as we age, we get its value
may it be
literal or poetical.

There loomed a certain belief,
One that exhaled soon as she passed.
A sudden urge that fizzed over soon as the bottle opened.
Now granted you can still drink a soda once it's shaken
Most would replace desire for that of another, the discord
Of being splashed in the face by the very desire one in the same.
Drops of truth splashed everywhere seen as backlash, a sort of wrath
Spoken but never heard.
There was something about the contour of the bottle,
Fixed thoughts filled in ovulation.
Everything kept inside.
A certain vengeance that loomed in bliss.
If not handled carefully doom was immanent.
Each time she walked passed he'd shake the bottle more vigorously.
A cold fizz that quenches every desire steadfast with reality.
Curious he looked at the bottle, wanting to quench this need
He placed his hands on the top slowly unscrewing.
Her eyes connected with his, everything paused.
For the first time in a long time everything was beautiful
Sharing a brief look relaxing his shoulders.
He untwisted the top, for a moment she sighed
Feeling a release she hasn't felt in a long time.
His hand smooth against the contour of the bottle
He placed his lips against the bottle easing her to quench this thirst he's waited so long for.
This urge that dried the well of his throat.
She refused him the pleasure of her, keeping her fizz to herself.
Now he knows what it's like to be on the outside looking in

My silence is not, and does not
Represent, the inadequacies of
my adeptness and my knowledge,
Nor does it undermine my capabilities
Of paraphrasing primary thoughts
In verbose, scholarly manner, no,
It does not, can never, didn't ever
Mean that I am not opinionated,
For it is upon my discretion
Whether you are worth debating with.

Sometimes your dreams
have a greater density than water
and they sink into the depths
of one of the great oceans
that swirls and rages in your mind
Yet sometimes your dreams
need to be listened to
no one has empty dreams
they are as deep as your ocean like mind
you may not understand now, but you will
Sometimes your dreams
leave you waking up with one phrase
one little piece of advice
and no matter how much you want to sleep
you get up out of bed
Sometimes your mind is raging
and your heart is as heavy as a rock
that has a greater density than your mind
but those dream words speak to you
don't let your sadness skew your point
of view

my legs are so weak but they are still stronger than my mind
this illness I fear is making me blind
I do not understand this, everyone is always so kind
but that does not matter, or so I find
because even though a light inside me once shined
there is a happiness that will always have to be pined

I know what it's like
to see the other point of view
on life
You love it now
but you won't later
It hurts you
There is no one you can trust
On the other side
So please turn back around again

No matter how many papers we write, protest we have, and laws we pass, we will be surrounded by Hatred. Hatred isn't just a emotion you feel. It's in everything we do and say. It's the voice telling you who ur suppose to be. It's society defining u in numbers. Hatred is this world. It doesn't make sense to me becuz we're created to be an individual standard, yet we're always trying to fit into a standard. But out of all the never ending hatred, inequality, unfairness and agony, only u can define yourself. You have a short amount of time on this earth. Be the change you wish to see

It's my point of view, let me tell you-
Take it or leave it, know what you want
Move on, get things done
Appreciate everywhere you've gone
Follow a path of your own, hold on.
Embrace the customs of others
We're all brothers
Forgive, don't forget
People often regret what was once said.
Remember your alluring, keep on track
If you swerve off, bring a map
Speak the truth
Respect your neighbor, accept a truce.
Keep in touch with confidants and family
Stray from apathy
Open your heart
Be confident in your art.
Laugh and cry
Aim for the best- at least try.
Look at the world through someone else's eyes.
Valuing perspectives makes you wise.

1.***"What you do is who you are."
(" 誰であるか.")***
- The actions you carried is the person you are claiming to.
- You swallowed your own words for insulting other people and that will come back to you
- You share blessings and a lot of opportunities will come to you or double the prize will reward to you
- "Don't judge the book by its cover."
- "Do unto others, if you want others do unto you"
- 2 types of karma: a good karma & a bad karma ( you can't predict when will it hits you but be careful on your actions and words cause we don't know when will it happen )
2. Contemplating Within You
- You can't get back to where it belongs but you can only stand for it and move on. ( you can't get back to those happy moments when you're still a kid because the Almighty up above planned your life to where it should be. You should learn and not be afraid to commit mistakes because every fall you had is an ounce of every foot steps you would take & to look forward in your life that you should never be frown to it. If God gives you that kind of events or things in you, you should humbly accept it and be brave to take its challenges cause you are stronger than that )
- There's always a reason for every thing and everything just happen for a reason.
- "Be honest with yourself."
- "Love yourself as much as you love thy neighbors."
- "Open your eyes and look for right." 'Be the light by One Ok Rock' ( Maybe this is the best line in a song that i'm looking to. And may apply it to ourselves as well )
