For years and years, nobody knows her soul is selfish Her Miss Congeniality facade is like a trance, it is enticing, blinding, comforting You won't dare to question her because she's that girl--bold and blunt But when I look into her eyes, there's passion, there's fire A burning story of life and lies that no one can understand I tried to run away from her to escape those fiery hunting eyes But then she touched me, chained me with her hug That's when I witness the stripped version of her All her naked truths, heartaches, aspirations She's... she's just... she's just like me Hardened by the pressure of this world, hardened by the pressure from the ones we love I enveloped her chains around me even more and I muttered, "If choosing ourselves means being selfish, then so be it. We're selfish bitches," She smiled at me and caressed my cheeks I closed my eyes to feel her warmth "Now you are free to go," she whispered "Remember to love all the versions of you." Then I opened my eyes and saw my reflection

”I fear attachment,” that’s what I always say. But every time I come too close to a masterpiece, I can’t resist. You want my time? You can have it. You want my attention? No need to ask for it. You want my love? Oh! It’s all yours. Just a glimpse into your soul, I’m completely drawn—hypnotized even. I fear attachment But if it’s with you? I’d risk it all. You’re the art I’d like to watch from the beginning until the end. Your story may end, but my watch will never. Leave the traces of your footsteps behind so I know where to find you in time.

If I keep on waiting for my chances to happen will it happen the way I wanted? If I keep on thinking about the person I could become will I be able to embody it someday? If I keep on wishing for that day to come will the time tick faster for my star to shine? I don't know the answer For now I will not know the answer Because I am still here Waiting Thinking Wishing When will my heart ache for something that  is beautiful and not for something that I only long... and hope Please, fate, do your magic Because I am scared to fall I am not ready to try I am still stuck But I want that spotlight  to blind me for the rest of my life.

How is that possible to love someone you haven't seen In every blink It's you I wish to see How is that possible to long for someone you haven't met In every smile it's you I want to share the moment with Please wish for me when you also look at the stars Please ask for me when you pray to the Beyond and Almighty 'Cause in every song it's you I want to hear In every sunrise it's you I wish to spent my eternal days with

I wish I could find the perfect words to describe you How you glisten in charm with your sun-kissed skin And how that shy-sly smile covers a skit waiting to be spilled I wish I could write more about myself Define the things I love, hate, and anticipate all at once How could I pour my heart if I don't know where to start? What to start? I wish I could tell something about us How every slow burn moment turn into blissful fragment of mental photographs And how just you and I stay superficial amidst of being authentic There are so many stories to tell But what is holding us back? In the light of unexpected occurrence and new beginning, You found me, I found you, we found us But in the end of it all, how would you draw us? How would I paint us? I don't know... I wish I know So I could keep a memoir, poetry, or prose For all that has happened in the wildfire of October.

Kay tagal nang nagtatago sa lupit na hatid ng mundo wala nang balak bumallik sa pait na dulot nito. Subalit muling nagbabalik dahil sa lumbay na pilit sumisingit. Araw-araw kang naaalala Mula sa pagmulat ng mata sa paglabas ng bawat hininga At sa paglisan ng liwanag muli sa mga mata. Galak. Galak na sa kailanma’y ‘di ka na muling mahihirapan pa. Lumbay. Lumba’y nanunuot ‘pagkat ika’y hanggang sa makulay na alaala na lamang. Sa iyong paglisan, naiwan ang mundong pilit na tumatakbo--nagpapatuloy. Kung sa totoo ay pawang lagi’t laging panahon ay bumabalik. Kung maibabalik lang ang kahapon. Kung tumitigil lang ang oras. Kung pupwede ay wala na lang hangganan. Tatanggapin ang mga pagkakataong ‘to pa sa iyo. Ngunit imposible--hindi ito maaari. Kaya hanggang dito na lang. Hanggang sa muli. Sa pantig ng puso, makasisigurado na lagi kang naandito.

One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Six seconds There is six seconds before the clouds disappear from the sky It moves where the wind is leading them It stays to a place where others can see them too For six seconds Only for six seconds In times like this Where the dance of clouds seems hard to notice It is liberating to feel present again Just like the old days When everyone rejoices feeling the warmth of the sun Or when people relax hearing the sound of the raindrops One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Six seconds There is a quick six seconds For a beautiful thought to dawn That life is still worth celebrating for

Detachment and isolation Everything always runs back to these two When love and support fail to meet any expectation--any spark of hope for a better tomorrow What it feels like to be inspired again? Surrounded with laughter, and in touch with familiar faces What it feels like to hear different stories again? Something hilarious, dramatic, epic, or anything under the sun Was the time well spent during those days? Those moments when all hearts beat as one, and all minds think the same Is it safe to go back? Do I have anything to go back to? Do I long for them all this time? Or do I want to forget their names and never look back? I don't know I don't have the answer I still don't have the guts to answer But one thing's for sure At the end of the day It is always change that I only see We are not the same people anymore We have grown And grew apart Again, detachment and isolation Everything always runs back to these two Because no matter how I want to get close There is nothing left to celebrate There are only wounded hearts And memories full of sorrow

Before the white cloth shuts the light of the world And the mind meets the stillness of the dark shadows Will the sky cry and mourn for the drifting soul Or will the sun shine for a promise of brighter tomorrow? When the heart beat slows And the breathing labored Will serene hug rage Or everything will stay the same? These questions will remain unanswered Unless somebody is already lying on the ground Will today be the last day Or the clock will continue to tick, and let the body stay?

It takes 21 days to build a habit But only seconds to demean the person in the mirror "When will you learn to love me as I am?" asks the person "I... I don't know." she stuttered For a moment, the world stops Tears are falling Hands are shaking Heart is sinking Now she is gone again into the void of black Feeling worthless as she always does She is going hysterical The person in front Trying to break free Wanting to shake some sense to the woman who looks dead The screams are loud But no one heard the sound She plead until no voices come out Maybe there is no hope at all For the woman facing the mirror But what if a whisper can shatter the fibers? Again, she tries, In the most inaudible way possible To say these wrecking words: "I hope you see the beauty in me, too. Like you always do... to the people around you." With that, you brought me back to life.

I am beautiful.

Staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night With a music that serenades my mind I have never been this mindful for a while There is tranquil and content that fill my heart Walking through hell was quite the description of my journey For days, weeks, months I have had feeling so lonely Little did I know I have been seeking for validation all this time I once thought, 'I am finally free from these bullshits of life' Picking the pieces of myself again is a different kind of courage Now life is not all about applause and praises anymore Deep down my soul I etched the words that serve as my goal "This time I will live solely for myself. I will be the main character of the story I slowly unfold." While pleasing others is difficult Choosing oneself is far way challenging Sometimes you'll find yourself questioning everything again But it's okay. Honey, it is totally okay. Because healing is tedious, it doesn't happen overnight. Freeing myself from the burden of the past Has led me here--lying on my bed, smiling like it is my last All the deep breathing sessions are now paying off Because finally, I see meaning in everything I do For all the souls that cry out loud but no one seems to notice I will let these words fly and reach you Have you ever heard Taylor Swift says 'soon you'll get better'? I have believed in its might in every way possible, and I want you to feel it, too. "When in doubt, remember this. Soon you'll get better Soon I'll get better Soon we'll get better... Because we can, and we have to."

When life does not give hues and shades anymore, Would there still be a place for us to grow? When all of the things we have cease to exist, Would there be another home to comfort our soul? For many times now, Life has proven me its uncertainty. What if the time suddenly stops? What if the world starts to crumble down? Clueless of what is going to happen next, Makes me want to live a little longer for the day. I want to feel the warmth of the sun. I want to hear the whispers of the wind. Life. No matter how cruel it is sometimes, I want to make the most out of it as long as I live. I want to keep stories I can carry with me as I go beneath. Regret not the decisions made in the past. Anticipate a life so beautiful thereafter. Embrace the art of the moment now. 'Cause at the finish line, there always lies the loving memory of you.

Thank you...

Rebellious. Fearlesss. Untamed. She is the lion of the jungle, The eagle of the sky, And the wild waves of the ocean. She despises being told what to do. For she knows she owns the ship, not you. No one could boss her around 'Cause doubt you not, she is the man. People may smell arrogance and see pride But, damn! She has no room for unsolicited words and fake romance As she sashay her way out of the pretentious crowd She oaths to be the woman who you couldn't step on her gown Surrender your cards to the queen, And the plan of putting her on leash Very clever! She knows her way around It's  futile to clip her wings and chances now. This I tell you, "She owns her life no matter what". Always remeber that.

It's all coming back Like how the waves meet the shore The feelings that were buried But never forgotten Throwing daggers at my mind For the pictures I don't want to have Two people linked by a string Sharing a love so pure, endless, and inspiring Ditto want to hold a hand Of someone who would ever be there by my side Through thick and thin, rain and shine Nothing could keep us apart Maybe in the distant future The shadow would be real A once thought story Will turn into reality In this spilled words I say this to you "Please, please. Wait for me." Because I'm patiently waiting for you, too.

Before the morning light comes Remember your worth for the millionth time Your thoughts may be extra cruel today But you'll be stronger than yesterday Who said you are a failure? The evil and pessimistic side of yours again? Don't get fooled by that deceptive voice I assure you, you are improving like you always do.
