“Naaalala mo pa ba ako?”
Iyan ang pangungusap na maaaring itanong sa’yo ng mga laruan mo noong iyong kabataan.
Mga laruang naitabi’t nakalimutan na at maaaring nasa talampas na ng mga bagay na malapit nang mailagay sa tapunan.
Mga nagsilbing matalik **** kaibigan noong ika’y talagang nangangailangan.
“Naaalala mo pa ba ako?”
Tanong na hindi mahirap sagutin ngunit sakit lamang ang maibibigay.
Naalala mo man ngunit hindi na nabigyan ng pansin at tuluyan nang nawalan ng taglay
Tanong ng mga laruan mo na tuluyan nang nakalimutan at hindi na nabigyan ng hanay


Kung ang mga laruan mo ay makakapagsalita, ano kaya ang sasabihin nila sa’yo?

“Kaibigan, naalala mo pa ba noong tayo’y magkasamaa? Noong ako at ikaw lang ang natatanging tao sa mundong ating tinatayuan. Noong araw araw pag uwi mo galing sa paaralan ay hahanapin mo agad ako at kakausapin. Hindi napapansin na ako ay pinaglalaruan mo lamang. At iyon ang natatanging silbi ko. Isang laruang posibleng mapalitan pag nakahanap ng katapat na mas karapat dapat… Masakit maging laruan.”

Siguro nga hindi nakapagsasalita ang mga laruan. At iyon ang tanging rason kung bakit sila naimbento; para magsilbing panlibang sa mga naiinip. Pagdating ng panahon ay itinakda silang ipamigay o kaya nama’y kalimutan na at itabi sa isang madilim na kahon ng walang hanggan.

Ang mga laruang minsann nang itinakda na maging panangga sa kainipan. Masakit maging laruan.

Pero bakit ako na hindi laruan ay napapatanong na rin? “Naaalala mo pa ba ako?” Kasi minsan nagtataka na ako kung pumapasok pa ba ako sa isip mo. Tuluyan na ba akong nawalan ng taglay na hindi mo na ako maihanay sa oras **** mamahalin? Alam ko na hindi ako itinakda na maging panangga sa kainipan pero bakit ganoon na ang aking nararamdaman? Tuluyan na nga bang nakalimutan? Ako na natatanging andyan tuwing ika’y nangangailangan, ngayon naging laruan na di man lang masulyapan.

Masakit maging laruan

Masakit mapaglaruan

Masakit na gumawa ng sakripisyo kung hindi mo rin naman ito bibigyan ng pakinabang. Kung magsisilbi lang ako na libangan tuwing iyong kailangan. Mahirap umasa sa mga bagay na matagal nang hindi nagpapakita. Pero kahit na minsa’y napapatanong narin ako… Nagbubulag-bulagan ako dahil… Mahal kita

Mahal kita kahit na matagal mo na akong itinambak sa kahon kasama ang mga papeles na mayroong mga walang saysay na salitang nakalimbag.
Mahal kita kahit na ginawa mo akong laruan sa panahon na ika’y nangangaliangan.
Mahal kita kahit na ni isang sulyap ay hindi mo ko mabigyan.
Mahal kita kahit masakit na.

Pero minsan, napapatanong na rin ako;

Naaalala mo pa ba ako?

Ngano kaha gihigugma gihapon tika
masking nawala na imong paghigugma sa akoa?

Ngano kaha gipangga gihapon tika masking wala na ka ganahi sa atoa?

Ngano kaha gahandum gihapon ko nga ikaw ug ako gihapon
masking ako nalang ang gapugong sa kung unsay naa ta?

Ngano kaha ikaw ug ikaw gihapon ang pirminte naa sa akong huna huna
masking kabalo kong dili na ako ang naa sa imuha?

Ngano kaha gagunit gihapon ko sa imong saad na ako ra
Masking kabalo kong naa nakay lain na mas angay muhigugma sa imuha?


Siguro ingon ani lang gyud ko mahigugma
Higugmaon gihapon tika masking sakit na kaayo para sa akoa

Siguro ingon ani lang gyud ang gugma
Sakit pero nahigugma raman ko nimo masking ikaw wa na nahigugma sa akoa

Kabalo kong walay taong bogo pero andam ko mabogo kung ang kapuli kay pagpabilin nimo sa akoa

Pero ug kalipay gyud nimo ang mubiya na
Andam nakong mubuhi sa atoa
Andam nakong buhian ka ug ihatag sa iya
Andam nakong ako nalang ug wa nay kita
Kay tungod ingon ana kadako akong paghigugma sa imuha

I went above the roof of my so-called humble home;
Don't think I'm feeling lonely just because I'm alone;
My older brother is present maybe he is fast asleep;
Even my friends and loved ones have dark secrets they hide and keep;

I don't mind I have done much worst than you can think of;
Honestly, it doesn't bother me, there are many crucial problems we need to solve;
If we keep our eyes closed then yes we can smile, laugh drowning ourselves in ecstasy with bliss;
That is fine with me if everyone can do it, but if we see what is truly happening around us and we have a beating heart, tears in our very eyes would not cease;

If I just want to do what I wanted I would love to be with the girl, the woman who saved me, maybe hopefully I honestly love;
But If horrible war and all the crazy things around the world are still going on, what's the sense of everything I'll do, please enlighten me those who hear me from above, all your blessings I'll grab;

If I'll inspire the younger generation will it work?
I have already made many unacceptable things I'm worst than a ****;
If I do good or bad in the standard of this world could it make everyone happy and smile?
I lived in the City of smiles, but can every people be truly happy in facing life's trials?

All the ugly, disgusting things I've done whatever they are I don't deny it;
Some of it makes me stupid, a good-for-nothing fool any word you're hungry to add, no good all bad,
and at times makes me lose hope and end the very life I have;
but no I'll embrace every experience I have and endure all the aftermath and still fight, I'll never quit;

Honestly, I'm tired of pleasing people, but deep inside I want to please that girl/woman who saved me;
And most of all the one who gave me my life the one who created me;
Other people call the Father I know God or whatever any other name for the source of all creation;
So if it's fine for you, whoever reading this let me call the one who created me, my Father the one I invoke if I need immense inspiration;

Forgive me if the words I use bother anyone of you;
Yes I know, I have trouble using them, if only you have a clue;
If I'll be true in everything I do and say;
Can every ear and heart handle it? If it's the answer to every problem will you follow each step of the way?

If I'll be a righteous pious zealous man with the grace of our Creator in just one snap overnight;
Would anybody follow me and do the same and leave all the wrongdoings which are unpleasing to every sensible rational being's sight?
Yes, I know every human being have their principles, ideologies whatever philosophy in living;
But in life and death situations you can truly see if what you are looking and standing for is worth dying;

Yes, it's easy to say words, sing songs, write poems, or whatever at this time and age;
But you can only know what is true if your very life is at risk and face your life's unpleasing page;
When I was younger I easily get into a rage and make a reckless decisions;
But now I can just act like I'm angry with good intentions;

Yes at times I get ****** when someone, anyone bothers me;
And at times I get so cold everything vanishes in my sight not a single soul worth for me to see;
At times I wish this world could be a paradise once more;
But at times when I get blinded I wish this world would tremble to its very core;

The things I say may appear so vicious and malicious;
Isn't we human beings capable of that, kindly answer that, and don't be pretentious;
In my experience it is true I could do the worst possible thing I can imagine;
I don't care if you list my name in every sin;

But no I still have hope and dreams for the future of our world and every living being staying in this place we are sharing;
Who the hell I am to make a change in this world, I know one thing in the vastness of creation I am nothing;
That is why I have nothing to gain or to lose;  
I could just do nothing and be safe and wait for my story to end or simply die but now I'll be reckless and say things I bottled up, forgive me if that is what I choose;

I say these things because I see and feel what is happening here and around;
Violence is just around the corner great or small even in our very selves it can be found;
I don't say these things to put anyone down or destroy people's hope;
I just say what is true, but we need to face it and hold on to that redemptive rope;

Many of us want solutions to the problems we encounter may they be great or small;
But when the answers to the problems are facing us, some of us run and roll;
Sorry, I'll say a ***** word influenced by a well-known country;
**** it I'll spend all day writing until I'll run out of words even If I will sound crazy;

Honesty I'm not comfortable using this English language;
I love to speak in my mother tongue or just be silent but I need to do what is needed in our time and age;
Writing this, whatever you may call this would not give me anything;
but who knows it can stir something, make bells ring;

The first concern that comes to my mind is the
extreme weather and war;
Let me think about what will I talk about first
cause both things can leave bitter scars;
Many of us are always in a hurry to go somewhere;
We use and ride vehicles or any transportation that pollutes the air just to mention a few and say yes we still care;

Oh! I want to say the ***** word! but can we be true to ourselves and swear to vanish into existence or simply die?
If we including you and me human beings with our endless activities are the cause of extreme weather conditions please to ourselves don't we lie;
Can we give up the things that contribute to the devastation of our planet our home?
Or settle for a half-*** lukewarm solution and wait for the worst then we all tremble to our very bones;

Let me ask, those who have homes or shelter you frankly love to spend your time staying in every day;
What will you do if a pest or anything is destroying it I ask this nicely anyway;
Likewise our common home our planet called earth do we honestly take care?
Or just open our eyes every time there is a calamity happening anywhere;

Then close our eyes once more when it seems peaceful and calm;
Knowing we're slowly gradually contributing to our world's injury, I don't express this to everyone but maybe some;
I don't know maybe I have already done unimaginable damage to our planet;
If so I'll face any consequences but please let us do the things needed to be done before we all fall and regret;

I don't forget I'm just passing by spending some time in this world of ours;
If I ask forgiveness and do nothing to solve the problems, It's better to die or stay behind bars;
Let's not play dumb, we know we human beings are so intelligent;
Isn't human beings invented things that could destroy our world does that sound excellent?

Let us learn and go back to history what occur to that country Japan;
If that emerges once more, I don't know if we could still have some fun;
Wait I'm not done, why do we follow leaders or rulers who lead us to a pit;
I don't know if I have a leader who is like that the hell with him/her I'll quit;

Why don't those leaders fight their war and leave others be;
Imagine you're peaceful and someone bothers you or me;
They want peace and want to talk it out but they are ready to ****;
What on earth is wrong with our heads, we need to check it out is that the first thing we need to heal?

I have heard enough of myself writing in a foreign language;
With all due respect I'll use another for the next page;
Bato bato sa langit ang ma igo please wag tayo always galit;
Pasensyahi lang ko kung kis-a syado ko ka kulit kag bua-ngit kis-a gani ako yagit;

Ang panit ko medyo nang ***-om sang sulay sa adlaw;
Pero ako man kis-a maka yuhom kag ginagmay maka kadlaw;
May ti-on sang una nga ako daw isa ka patay nga ga balang-balang;
Mayu lang damu nag salbar sa akon, kag ako na banhaw kag daw alang-alang na mag talang;

Pero samtang ga ginhawa pa ako hindi ko ka hambal sang tapos;
Ka nugon sang mga tinaga kung indi mapasaburan kag mapabay-an lang nga gaka pan-os;
Sa tuod lang ka tawhay diri sa gina tiniran ko na panimalay;
Simpli lang ang kabuhi ga biya biyahi e-bike ga dul-ong sang pasahero nga ga sakay;

Sinsilyo ginagmay, biskan ang balay gani indi mani akon;
Salamat sa akon amay kag iloy daw ara lng sila gihapon;

Para sa SSS kung may sala man ko na himo ari lang ko sa balay kung ako inyo dakpon;
Kay kung mag sulod pa gihapon sa atm pwede ko pana ma gamit sa amon galastuson;
Wala ko kabalo kung inyu na gina hungod;
Bangud gatingala man ko ang grasya wala ga untat sulod;

Kay kung sa inyu layi dibala dapat wala na nga grasya ma sulod tani;
Pero kung sigihon ninyu pasulod ay ka tahum kanami;
Pero ka balo man ako damo na may ma batikos kag ma hisa;
Pasensyahi lang ako batunon ko na ang ihambalon ninyu tuod man gina paguwa sang akon dila;

Medyo hubin pa ko kabalo na man ako kung ma patay ako kung diin ako ma kadto;

Sang gina ataki ako sang asthma daw ma bugto ang ginhawa kag daw ma ubos akon pwersa;
Gina hulat ko ang akon nanay nga ga langoy sa lamesa pero okay lang na siya intindihan ko na;
Natun-an ko sa kabuhi hindi man permi permi ara aton mga abyan biskan pamilya;
Amu ina sang amu to nga ti-on nag tawag ako sa kung sin-o man sa akon nag hurma nag tuga;

Kung lantawon ko gani liwat ang na tabo; akon man to sala nga ako gina hapo;
Sa bisyo ko na sigarilyo kag pahubog na inom;
Na ani ko lang mga bagay na akon gin tanom;

Amu ina mga kabataan indi manami kung inyu ma agyan ang akon na agyan;
Kay kadamo nga dalan ang akon na laktan;
May ara man kasanag kag mga matahum;
May tyempo man nga kala-in kag ka dulom;

Pero salamat sa nag patilaw sang kabuhi sa nag tuga sa akon;
Ako ari paman gasulat buhi pa man sa giyapon;
Pero balik ta sa isturya sang tyempo kag klima;
Kag kung anu anu pa ang gaka tabo isa pagid na ang mga giyera;

Sa tuod lang matyag ko ang kabuhi ko daw ako na hampangan na tripan;
Wala ko kabalo kung tungod sa mga gina sulat sulat ko, ahay ewan;
Sang una mag sulat ko kung ano ano daw wala man may ga sapak;
Pero subong ambot hindi lang ko sure daw hindi ko ka giyo kag ka palak;

Wala ko gani ka balo ngaa amu ini ang na agyan ko na direksyon;
Wala man ko ga riklamo biskan anu subong akon ma dangpan na sitwasyon;
pasalamat lang ko ka tilaw man ko mabuhi nga isa ka tawo;
Nga maka dumdum sang mga memorya kag maka paminsar sang mga bagay-bagay sa

Intindihan ko man ang iban mahambal sagi ka sulat wala mana pulos usik lang na tyempo;
Pasensyahi lang ko kay gamay lang akon kalipayan amu lang ini mahatag ko sa inyu;
Labay man lang akon na pamangkot kung ikaw abi gaan chansa kag ti-on;
Himo-on ka isa ka lider, presidente, prime minister; okon hari na may mansyon anu una mo na obrahon?

Sa mga bagay bagay kag gaka tabo sa aton subong nga panahon;
Kung kis-a gaka lipat kita biskan sa kahoy may pulos man na iya mga dahon;
Biskan ano kapa ka gamay kung kita tanan ga binuligay indi ayhan ina matawhay?
Kung ikaw abi isa ka lider okon amay nami-an kabala nga kita mag inaway-away?

Hindi ko ka intindi ngaa ang mga tawo ga pinatyanay;
Kung amu man lang ni ang bwas damlag sang mga kabataan mayu pa mag tulog na ga tulo ang laway;
Katawhay tani galing kung amu sina daw tinamad na man na daw buhi nga patay;
Dibala sang una kita tanan basi gina kugos man lang sang aton nanay okon tatay kag kung kis-a man mga tupad balay;

Ngaa dapat kung ga dako nata dapat gid bala mag dako man aton mga ulo haw?
Pyerdihon man ta gihapon sang baka kag karabaw may dala pa na sungay ka luoy man galing kis-a sa ila kung sila gina ihaw;
Sabagay ga mahal na man mga balaklon pati mga pagkaon;
Medyo maayo mana siguro ang sustansya sang utan para sa aton;

Kis-a maka hambal kita bay-e dira ang mga gaka tabo wala man ta gaka epiktohan;
Te kung ikaw gaan isa ka blessing para maintindihan mo, ibutang ka sa ma-dulom kag pwerti ka teribli na dalan sang kabuhi para ma inat imo nga paminsaron kag balatyagon kag imo ma intindihan;
Gina pangabay ko lang na imo ma sarangan ang mga leksyon sang kabuhi na tani aton tanan ma tun-an;
Buenas lang mga tawo nga permi lang sa masanag kag manami na dalan ang gina agyan, indi man siguro tanan;

Sa kadamo sang kala-inan nga na himo ko Amay nga nag tuga sa akon pasensyahi kag sintensyahi na lang ako;
Kung may butig kag indi matuod sa akon gina sulat subong maayo pa kilatan mo na lang ako;
Ako nga nag sulat sini isa ka tawo na indi perpekto sa mata sang mga tawo;
Ginoo Amay ko nga nag tuga sang akon ulo, mata, paminsaron, corazon kag ini mga kamot gabayi lang ako;

Sa kada tinaga nga ma sulat ko diri subong tani makabulig hilway sa akon kaugalingon kag balatyagon;
Kay mag abot ang ti-on na kina-hanglan ko ini balikan kag basahon may gabay na ako sa akon distinasyon;
Sa isturya na man sa akon kabuhi ang pahina parti sa gugma romantiko kag relasyon;
Sa edad ko subong na traynta-uno sa gugma
romantiko na aspeto daw bata-bata pa ako wala kabalo kung ano akon himo-on;

May ara ako na luyagan sa isa ka malayo na lugar;
Sa pwerte ka luyag ko sa iya kung kis-a wala ko kabalo kung ano obrahon ko daw indi ako mag andar;
Wala ko kabalo kung ako lang na luyag sa iya kag siya wala man ya sa akon;
Biskan gusto ko na buy-an ang luyag na akon gina dala gabalik man ako sa iya giyapon;

Ka ilinit na balatyagon nga daw ga kurog na corazon kag dughan;
Daw mahibi kung kis-a akon nga mga mata nga daw gal-um kag ga tubod na bagyo kag ulan;
Nga-a amu ini kung ma luyag-luyag ko haw kung maayo ang relasyon grabi ma hatag nga inspirasyon;
Kag kung buy-an ko na kag indi pag ibato ang sa sulod sang akon balatyagon daw delubyo ang dala kag distraksyon;

Paano ko ayhan mapa luyag sa akon ang na luyagan ko;
Tudlo-i ninyu man abi ako ga ayo ako sang sinsiro;
Okon buy-an ko na lang kag indi pag i-pilit sa iya ang kaugalingon ko;
Palihog please prangkaha na lang ako kung wala na ako pag-asa sa imo;

Ka balo man ako damo man mas responsabli nga maka palangga sa imo;
Hambali lang ko kung ano obrahon ko kay indi na ako mag sinabad sa imo;
Pero dako na salamat sa ti-on na gin bangon mo ako sa pag ka dasma nga gapa luya;
Biskan ano akon napanghimo na mga sala ara kaman giyapon naga uyat kag wala nag buya;

Pasensyahi lang akon mga tinaga kung ako daw wala sing huya;
Sa bagay kung sa mata sang mga tawo indi man ta bagay kay ikaw prinsesa ako ya kabalan na dukha;
Mabalik na man ako sulat sa ling-gwahi na hapos para sa imo ma intindihan;
Para ini sa babayi binibini sa malayo na lugar na akon na luyagan;

Not all letters at a post office are meant for everyone to read;
Not everyone in this world can make my heart and head gradually bleed;
For the woman who captured my frozen flaming heart;
From far away you are may you read this with your heart this annoying art;

If I bother you before let me do it once more;
I can't wield this feeling deep inside my core;
A woman whose 1st name starts and ends with A;
This part of this letter is for you, I'm expressing today;

Forgive me if I've been reckless and will be in my actions and words, I write and say;
The way I am now and before can you accept me I ask you in a sincere polite way;
I write this not because I'm angry or happy just trying to keep in touch;
You have made me your slave a prisoner you made me crazy in many good ways I can't say
too much;

I have nothing great to offer you to make you truly happy;
I know millions of others can love you more and you can be;
Honestly, it makes me jealous if you'll be in the arms of someone;
But I have no right to do that for in your life maybe I'm just no one;

If it is God's plan for you and me to be apart in heart be far away;
It's not God's fault or yours but mine cause many times both of you I have dismayed and maybe betrayed;
I have played the game called life and I have no cheat code to win it;
I have times I'm on the straight road and at times fall to a pit but still, I never quit;

Even a writer just can edit and at times unnecessary messages he can delete;
And a witty singer can sing passionately so bitter and at times so deliciously sweet;
You made my heart beat truly beat in a romantic sense;
And at times in your presence I feel intensely tense;

We live in a dense world full of amazing people;
But I wonder in love and madness for you I fall;
I understand and know what I need to do or my Father's/Creator's/God's call my duty to do;
But if I pour my life and my heart into you I don't ask you to do the same I don't want to control you;

Forgive me if I'm madly obsessively falling in love with you;
Correct me if I'm wrong honestly this feeling I have for you I have no clue;
All I know now about me and you without you I'm so blue;
I want to please you in every way at times I can no longer be at ease and be true;

Please tell me what I need to do to capture your heart;
Or just even give me a place there to be a part of, just even a tiny part;
If you can make me your friend honestly for me it's enough;
But if you ask my heart what it truly wants for me it will be rough;

I dream of a future for you and me to be a happy family;
But who I am in your life now I don't know I'm lost I can't see;
Just tell me sincerely if in your life I don't have a chance;
If even a small there is I could leap for joy and madly dance;

But I don't want to manipulate or control you I want you to be free;
To say and do what you want and need truly even if it's not me;
Don't worry I can take it gracefully if you reject me I'll move on;
But the blessings you gave me the hope I'll treasure it and never be gone;

Please don't think if my heart will fall into pieces I'll become a monster;
Don't worry about that God is watching me our Creator the one I call Father;
If I accept the good things in life is it not fair to accept also the little trials;
Sometimes it's also good to shed some tears and cry not every time just laugh and smiles;

I'll do everything within my capability to make this world a paradise;
But without the grace of our creator God, our common Father I'm just a foolish man not wise;
So don't worry to reject me I just want us to be free;
If only I own all the things in this world or a castle for you to be;

If that will make you truly happy how I wish I would be a king;
And make every people our family and we could share a meal a home have fun and you can sing;
I know it may sound crazy and impossible but who I am now I'm happy, a life of simplicity is simple;
One thing I remember my mother wrote a note on a book she gave me, it says always be humble;

I'm afraid to be as powerful and rich as the kings;
It's not a joke to have all that and the possibilities it brings;
One thing I know is that everything I have is temporary;
The things I have, my mind my body, talents, and everything within me;

Only by the test of time, we would know;
If we'll be blessed with old age we can still live and grow;
Forgive me if I did not sound so romantic;
At distant seas we are apart I'm not sure the whereabouts maybe the Pacific and Atlantic;

But deep inside my heart I only wish the best for everyone especially you;
If we're not meant to be for each other I'll accept it but please let us be true;
I write this part of the letter for the woman whose name starts and ends with A;
I wish the best for you and in my heart, you already have a place to stay;

I'll just end here for now but I'm not yet done;
I hope I can hear from you even if in your life maybe you want me gone;
I have nothing to offer you to truly genuinely make you happy;
But if you are already truly happy with your life I will be happy too it resonates with me;

Now, this part of the story is for everyone for a human being who has an open heart;
Can we welcome someone anyone maybe a stranger in a time so dark;
Can we replenish what is missing from someone unknown to us what they lack;
Or just ignore an unpleasant stranger in our hearts we put a block, chain it and lock;

If someone needs something to eat just to survive and be alive are we willing to give;
If a homeless hopeless stranger knocks on our door will we accept them where we live;
If someone or anyone truly essentially needs something a matter of life and death that degree of importance;
Will we give or share and sacrifice what we have even if it hurts or put a lock into our hearts and do nothing but glance;

If every open-hearted people in our world who don't want and need war will unite;
And strive extremely to heal not only our heads but also our planet and disobey those who commands us to do violent actions and senseless fight;
Will we give time or a chance a shot for that matter;
Or just go with the flow and do our day-to-day routine to obtain our bread and butter;

Is it possible for all of us just for a day or a week to have a leave like a worldwide collective vacation;
To stop and cease anything which is harming any living creature/being and let the planet breathe, maybe mother earth is already in a state of suffocation;
Or can we just sit somewhere and be still whatever you may call it prayer or meditation;
I don't know I'm just giving an idea but maybe anyone there somewhere has a better answer for an open-hearted being who is willing in listening and doing the solutions;

We can be open-hearted to listen and do what is truly needed;
I'm no genius I need everyone willing to share their solutions and answers, for now, we are alive but what can we do if we're already dead?
I've become who I am because of my relationship with our creator God or our common Father;
But before I encounter our Creator I knew him through someone in some stories or letters;

I don't know for everyone but in my life experience it was the man called Jesus Christ;
Who let me have a glimpse of the source of all creation which is unexplainably nice;
I do some methods or ways trying hard to follow that man's footsteps and maybe accidentally;
  I have tasted and touched the one called infinite;
If I'll put into words what I've experienced it will be indefinite;

Everything pleasingly beautiful that I have made I can't make any of it just by using my wit;
But for the wrong ways and decisions, I have chosen it was my own will I will not deny it or disown it;
I don't know and will not assume anything about anyone practicing being still;
But one thing I know is we are all created by the same unfathomable Being for me that is real;

In this lifetime of mine I have experienced indescribable things I need not say;
But I thank you our common Father the Creator of all for the chance to live even this very moment and all the nights and days;
By the way, I know people are confused and fight because of what they believe or their religion;
If a person has a sincere conviction on what they know or believe they will have a clear vision;

So if it's the end times we are living in now will it change the way we are because of fear;
And if it is not will we just do anything that pleases us even if we hurt and harm others who are dear;
I won't stop anyone to be fearless but please can we human beings be harmless;
I have no right to say this I know in my life I have hurt and harmed someone I'm that careless;

If only we could open our hearts and not give them a lock;
And fill which have empty and shower them with what they lack;
May it be physically, emotionally, spiritually, or psychologically on any aspect of a human being;
I know things seem so hard but if we have an open mind and heart dark skies and times will be brightly shining;

I know whomever we believe or know the one who Created us all will not abandon us;
For the gifts, we have like talents, knowledge, wisdom, and many more given by our Creator I still have faith in humanity and especially in our common Father God I trust;
I always remind myself in the vastness of creation I'm just a speck of dust;
Even that man of steel in a children's story has a weakness like steel eaten by rust;

So if it's a must to open and stretch our minds and hearts then put away those locks;
For the time is ticking for all of us we better spend it wisely and set our clocks;
Set aside or sacrifice anything that blocks us to reach a common goal;
Then if possible we all communicate, and cooperate for the common good of all;

I wish and dream we can all have an open mind and heart to lift one another;
This is a wish coming from an ordinary child-man who already lost his biological father and mother;
Will it be beautiful before we end our life's stories this world will be so much better;
And the next generation will no longer need to read this lengthy letter;

Ikaw at ako
alam kong wala namang tayo.
Sino ba ang talo?
Hulaan natin kung sino.

Isip ko'y nalilito
ano ba ang gagawin ko?
Mananatili o lalayo?
Alam ko namang malabo.

Di na lang kikibo
Hahayaan na lang siguro
kahit di naman talaga sigurado
Kung magiging tayo.

Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sisimulan ang ating kwento.
Hindi ko din alam kung kaya ko bang ikwento.
Pero eto ako kahit ayaw ko sige pa din sa pagsulat, inilalabas lahat nang nakatagong kwento,
mga alaala mga pagkakataon na pilit kinakalimutan ng utak pero ayaw lumimot ng puso.
Ganun na lang ba palagi?
Tila lagi na lang nagtatalo yung puso at isip pagdating sayo?
Ang swerte mo naman puso’t utak ko gumugulo pero ako ba sa’yo ay ano?
Tatlong taon.
Tatlong taon na ginugulo ng pangalan mo ang mundo ko.
Na tila ba parang ayaw kang bitawan ng sistema ko.
Siguro ay dahil nasanay na ako.
Ano pa bang magagawa ko? Eto talaga yung totoong nararamdaman ko. Pero ano?
Tatlong taon din na binabalewala mo. Baliw na yata ako.
Ayaw ko na.
Pagod na ako.
Dahan dahanin ko na yung paglayo ko sayo.
Oo.
Lalayo ako at pipilitin kong umahon mula sayo.
Ang pagmamahal kong ‘to nagpapalubog sa sarili ko.
Kailangan kong bumangon at sa pagkakataong ito hindi na ako iiyak.
At kailanman hindi na bibisitahin ang mga alaala mo.
Tama na.
Sa pagkakataong ito ay ako naman.
Papahalagahan ko na yung sarili ko na sinayang ng ilang taon sayo.
Babawiin yung mga luha sa pamamagitan ng pagngiti sa paparating na mga araw na ito.
At unti unting kakalimutan ang pag ibig na binasura mo.
Mahirap sa simula.
Pero pipilitin ko.
Lahat ng puyat ko sayo babawiin ko sa pagtulog sa darating na mga gabing din ito.
Eto na yung huli.
Eto na din ang bagong simula.
Nang bagong ako.

Nakikita niyo akung naka ngiti
Mga ngiting to kay dami nang ikinubli
Mga damdaming di na masabi
Siguro habang buhay na ito mananatili

Naririnig niyo ang malakas kong tawa
Sa likod nito ay may malaking problema
Na sa tuwing ako'y mag isa
Hindi tawa kundi patak nang mga luha

Ngiti, kahit labis nang nasasaktan
Ngiti kahit wala nang matatakbuhan
Ito lang ang naiisip kong paraan
Upang di mapansin ang aking pinagdaraanan

Ngiti, kahit luha mo'y pumapatak na
Ngiti, kahit di mo na kaya
Huwag mo nang ipakita sa kanila
Ang iyong pusong sugatan na

Ngiti para sa kanya
Ngiti upang lahat ay maging masaya
Kahit damdamin ay kumikirot na
Di bale na, napasaya mo naman siya

Ang mga ngiti ay marami nang naitago
Isa na ang mga damdaming di na mag lalaho
Ang nararamdaman ko sayo'y di pa nagbabago
Mahal parin kita nang buong buo

Nagsimula ang lahat sa kanta
Sa kanta na nagsilbing tulay sa'ting dalawa
Na parang tubig at langis-
Sa wakas nagsama

'Di inakala na magkakaganito
Dahil wala naman talagang pagtingin sayo
Ni hindi nakitang magiging magkaibigan
Hanggang nagkaroon ng tiyansang baka pwede ng walang hanggan

Walang hanggan na paguusap
Walang hanggang pagtatawanan
Walang hanggang pagiintindi ng mga
Tingin na hindi alam kung ano ang sinasabi

Pero tila takot parin
Ang pusong napagod sa mga sakit
Na idinulot ng mundong mapait
Takot makaramdam, tumibok

Sumubok ng bagay na hindi sigurado kung saan patungo
Na baka isa na namang patibong
Na kukulong sa isip kong lunod na lunod na
Sa mga kathang isip at imahinasyon

Kaya hanggang dito na lang muna siguro
Pipigilan ang mga ilusyon at delusyon
Na sisimilan na namang gawin ng puso
Para kahit hindi matupad ang salitang "tayo"
Mananatili parin akong buo kahit papaano

Umpisa pa lamang
Alam ko nang gusto kita
Nakita ka pa lamang
Atensyon ko'y nadukot mo na

(From the beginning
I knew I like you
The moment I saw you
You already captured my attention)

Paghawak ng iyong kamay
Pintig ng damdamin ay bumilis
Mga emosyong itinago nuon
Pilit nagpaparamdam muli ngayon

(When I held your hands
Heartbeats in overdrive
Buried emotions in the past
Making themselves felt in the present)

Sa pagpungay ng mga mata
Ako unti-unting nabibighani
At nung akapin sa'yong mga bisig
Tuluyan na kong nahulog

(The way your eyes look at me
Makes me intrigued by the second
And when you wrapped me in your arms
I completely fell, then and there)

Ngunit pag-sinta'y parang walang halaga
Sigla ng unang pagkikita'y unti-unting nawala
Di malaman at mawari ang mga dahilan
Na nang dahil sa nadarama ay pinipilit maintindihan

(But it seemed these feelings hold no value
The passion from our first meeting dwindling
I can't comprehend and identify the reasons why
But because of this love I feel, I still try)

Pilit tinitiis ang mga pighati
Kahit unti-unting nadudurog ang puso
Aanhin ang dignidad na patapon
Kung puso'y hindi marunong umibig

(Enduring the searing pain
Even if my heart is crushed
Setting aside my meaningless pride
If I don't know how to love right)

Siguro'y nagiging makasarili
Ngunit lahat ay binago at binigay
Lahat ay tinitiis damhin
Kahit na lungkot ay di mapawi

(Maybe I'm being selfish
But I changed and gave my everything
I endured all the ill feelings
Even if the loneliness doesn't go away)

Bakit hindi pa yun sapat?
Para ika'y sumugal sa akin?
Nangako ng pag-ibig na di magbabago
Kahit ang mundo natin ay tuluyang maglaho

(Why is it not enough?
For you to take a chance with me?
I promised you a constant, stable love
Even if our world crumbles to dust)

Naghihintay sa iyong pagbalik
Mula sa malayong dako kung san naroon
Ang puso **** labis nang nasasaktan
At takot nang umibig muli

(Waiting for your fateful return
From that far, hidden place where
Your broken and beaten heart is
That lost all hope in love)

Ialay ang pusong nagdurugo
Kapalit ng puso kong gusto kang mahalin
At nang lahat ng sakit ay aking akuin
At nang maibalik natin ang ngiting mailap

(Exchange with me your bleeding heart
With mine that anticipates to love yours
To share with me the burden of your pain
And bring back the elusive smile on your face)

Mahal kita umpisa pa lamang
Mamahalin kita kahit masakit
Lulunukin ang dangal at dignidad
Sa pagsusumamong ikaw ay maging akin

(I loved you from the very beginning
And I will love you still amidst the pain
I will swallow my pride and dignity
In this arduous quest to make you mine)

Sana matapos na ang ating paglalaro
Ang tagu-taguang walang patutunguhan
Panalangin kay Bathala sana'y marinig
Ang pusong nagsusumamo'y sana yakapin muli

(I pray for the little games to end soon
This hide-and-seek that seems meaningless
Dear God, hear my prayers and pleas
Of the heart that yearns be embraced again)

Imposible naman siguro
Na sa higit isang taon natin na
Pagsasama sa iisang bubong
At pagtatabi sa iisang kama
Ay agad-agad na lang akong nalimutan
Na para bang pinagsamahan
Ay walang kahit kakarampot na halaga.

Kumustahin mo naman ako...

Kung kaya ko pa ba
Kahit na malinaw namang
Kayang-kaya mo na.

Bakit ako nasasaktan?
Alam ko naman na ako
Ako ang dahilan kung bakit ako nasasaktan
Sa dami dami dami ng pagkakataon ko
Nakasabay kita sa pag uwi
Nakasabay kita sa pagkain ng tanghalian
Kaklase maghapon
Kapwa leader ng mga group mates natin
Sa dami dami dami dami dami dami
Ng pagkakataon ko na masabi ang nararadaman ko
Nanitili akong walang kibo.
Kaya bakit ako masasaktan
Kung sa una palang ako na ang may kasalanan
Ako tong nanatiling bulag pipi at bingi sa nararamdaman
Bulag sa katotohan na pwede nman talaga tayo
Pipi sa pagsasabi ng nararamdaman ko at
Bingi sa puso kong walang ibang sigaw kundi ang pangalan mo.
Ngayong wala na. natagpuan mo na ang tamang “sya”
At oo, Oo nasasaktan ako
Nasasaktan parin ako
Oo nasasaktan ako kasi sweet kayo
Oo nasasaktan ako kasi nakikita ko mahal nyo ang isat isa
At yung ang kinasasaktan ko
Oo nasasaktan ako
Oo nasasaktan ako
Sakit na sakit na ako.

May naisip na akong magandang ideya,
Hindi kita papansinin. Parang hindi ko pagpansin sa nararamdaman ko
Kahit ikaw parin ang laman nito. Didistansya ako na
Malayong malayong malayong sayo para hindi mo Makita na
Nasasaktan ako
Ganun nalang talaga siguro ang magagawa ko
Ang manatiling bulag pipi at bingi ang sarili ko.

"Hindi ako, Pero ikaw"
Hindi ako yung taong gusto mo,
Hindi ako yung taong hinahanap mo,
Hindi ako yung magpapahinto sa iyong mundo,
Hindi ako yung tipo na iyong makaka "SLOMO"
Pero ikaw ang aking gusto,
Ikaw ang saakin ay kukumpleto,
Ikaw ang sa mundo ko ay nagpapahinto,
Na tila ba'y ikaw ang nagkokontrol nito.
Hindi ako yung taong agad **** mapapansin,
Hindi ako yung taong kapag may problema ka, iyong kakausapin,
Ni hindi nga ako yung taong natipuhan mo,
Dahil hindi nga siguro ako ang taong gusto mo makatuluyan.
Pero ikaw agad ang una kong napapasin,
Tila ba ikaw lang yung taong nakapaligid saakin,
Dalawang mata'y sayo lang naka tingin,
Na para bang ako'y nahulog sa bangin.
Hindi ako yung taong agad sayo'y magpapangiti,
Hindi ako yung taong sa puso mo ay kikiliti,
Dahil hindi ako yung taong aariin mo,
Mas lalong hindi ako yung taong iyong sasabihan ng "ika'y mahal ko".
Pero ikaw ang saakin ay nagpapangiti,
Ikaw yung taong hindi lang sa puso ko,
Kundi sa buong sistema ko ay kumikiliti,
Ikaw yung taong gusto kong ariin,
Kahit na alam ko na mas posible pang masungkit ang mga bituin.
Hindi ako yung taong gusto **** alayan,
Hindi ako yung taong gusto **** mahagkan,
Hindi ako yung magiging inspirasyon mo sa buhay,
Dahil kahit kailan, hindi ako yung taong mag-aalis ng iyong pagkalumbay.
Pero ikaw ang gusto kong sa lahat ay alayan,
Sa katunayan nga, itong tula ay sa'yo nakalaan,
Ikaw yung taong nagbibigay sa akin ng inspirasyon,
Kaya nga nagawa ko agad ang tulang ito na hindi inabot ng taon.
Hindi ako yung taong minsan sasagi sa isip mo.
Pero ikaw ang halos laman
hindi lang ng isip,
Pati narin ng puso ko.
Hindi ako yung gusto **** sa habang buhay ay makasama.
Pero ikaw ang gusto kong maka piling,
Hanggang sa aking pag tanda.
