Cotton Candy
There is no store to taste the cloud candy everyone have bought
I want one too, even just a little bite of that fluffy sweet pink swirls you've indulged
Perhaps, the fire destroyed the store and the water washed down the swirls

Dying Passion
Maybe it's the curse of adulting,
feels like little by little the fire in me is slowly fading,
I feel like what I want is not what I am meant for,
'cause everytime I try,
I get tired
Voices
Voices all around,
in my head, they can be found.
It's getting too much,
can't escape; I long for a hush.
Disconnected
The hope I kept got shattered.
I regret I failed myself to the point I'm now tattered.

Gluing back as many pieces as I can
And I need no one to hand me my tools
I need no care to run my machine
Tossing Heads
bloody sun busy in
tossing building heads like an evening toast
Shards fell like playing cards’ houses,
Skylit with firefly dropping fire
Kwadrong Kalawakan
Sa kwadrong ito ng usok at nota
Pinupuno ko ang gutom na sikmura
Habang nilulunod ng iba ang gunita
