Never Zero

I remember my first experience of feeling alone in what was supposed to be a fellowship. Sadness is what I first felt when I realized that nobody was going to attend the fellowship we’ve set up for the youth of our campus. I saw that most of them were online that’s why I expected forContinue reading “Never Zero”

Insomiac

Funny how I advise people to sleep earlyWhen I can’t even put my mind at restIt’s foolish how I hope to be more healthyWhen my sleep cycle’s a mess Maybe it’s the thoughts that keep me awakeOr just the chilly breeze of the nightIs it the scenarios that I’m trying to makeOr the debates inContinue reading “Insomiac”

When Tears Fall

Ever noticed that uneasy feeling when something or someone triggers your deepest fear, pain, regret or disappointment? How you try your hardest to shake it off as you put up a façade? Pretending. Fooling no one but yourself. I know it well. Especially when the mask I’ve put up gets too heavy to bear. ThenContinue reading “When Tears Fall”

White Blob of Paint

We’re all a blob of white paint on a blank palettePale and untouchedBut with the dip of a new colorWe are transformed to a new wonder A hint of red will turn us pinkBlushed and sweet to seeAdd some more to get a passionate hueToo much will stir anger in you If cherry is notContinue reading “White Blob of Paint”

Relax

Beaches hold a special place in my adventurous heart. I’ve always loved the feeling of sand beneath my feet. Always have admired what the dunes look like on sunrise and sunsets. Always have enjoyed the teasing waves by the shore. I remember how much I enjoyed playing in the sand when I was younger. ItContinue reading “Relax”

If teens share their identity crises with youHow do you put yourself in their shoes?If adults belittle you in anywayIs talkingContinue reading “What Would You Do”

Banyuhay

Huwag mong pigilan ang pag-iibang anyoLahat dumadaan sa pagbabago Tanda mo pa ba noong paslit ka pa lang?Makulit, matakaw at mahilig maglagalagTulad ng malusog na uod na nakatambay sa inyong halamananPero ‘di hamak na mas maswerte ka kaysa sa munting insektoMag-isa silang naglalakbay, ‘di tulad moMay kapamilya, kaibigan o katukayoAt oo, alam kong mas kumplikadoContinue reading “Banyuhay”

Hidden Tears of the Silver Cloud

I see you. The other day, I saw you passing by like nothing’s wrong. Like a cloud, just drifting in the sky on a sunny day. I see that you’re trying your best as you sail through life. You inspire me. I saw you once more yesterday. You looked as if you’re carrying something heavy.Continue reading “Hidden Tears of the Silver Cloud”

XP

There are people in our lives that can leave a lasting impact on us. Be it a close relative or even a stranger. There will always be someone that will indirectly teach us a thing or two about life. I was raised by my single mother and her twin sister. Back then, I thought nothingContinue reading “XP”
