Life
I've learned a huge lesson in life. That happiness should not depend on a man nor to anyone. It should be from deep within. Your happiness should be yourself.
Play with the waves
Go with the flow and do not let the waves take you down or drown you.
Whatever happens, swim. You'll be alright!
The storm will be over soon.
On the edge
That sunken feeling in your stomach
The anchor in your heart
To be on the verge of crying
But yet nothing comes out.
Bakit ba tayo nagsusulat?
All I know that I'm in pain, tired physically, mentally, and emotionally. So let's get started with this one question, "Bakit ba tayo nagsusulat?"
Perfectly Imperfect
And we made it to Italy.
and swam off the rocks,
with a man we’d met in a cafe
because he said we could.
Mulberry Leaf
Lies are mulberry leaves placed
to bury truth about the land.
But those who survived
will make truth survive the legend passed.
Translucent
You made me understand that a broken heart can heal in a million ways.
You taught me that pain can be a crayon to much happier days.
And for the aches and bleedings, you gifted me,
I owe you my betterment
The Opposite of Failure – Why I Write
Poetry flowed out of me so fast and ferociously, that it actually scared me a bit. Raw emotion found its way onto the page before I had a chance to realize what I was writing about.
The Waiting Game
Are you happy without me? If not, I'm just here waiting for you to come back.
Religion and Politics
We did not agree on much, and more often than not, I was trying to derail whatever big-government scheme he had just concocted. And, in those years that Republicans held the majority in the Senate, when it came to getting some of our ideas passed into law, he was not just a stone in the road, he was a boulder.
Camping under the stars
Once in a while, a gush of wind hits the tent and our temporary home shook. The weather forecast predicted that it will be a clear night but as others secure their rain guards, we wonder if we should secure ours too.
Stuck!
Ever felt that you hit rock bottom? It's all about the feeling of being stranded.
