Sound

      The rain gently falls on a quiet Thursday evening, can you hear it? I screamed for help the other night, did it matter? She didn't say anything at all & still you judged her? The ticking of the clock was all around the room, did you even bother? He said sorry, and you ignored him for life? I cried, did you even give a damn on my tears as they drop on the table?

       Tell me, what sound do you hear? What are the sounds that you only want to hear? It doesn't need to be good or even bad. Just hear it, understand it perhaps? Take time to appreciate because hearing is a gift of life. Listening is how me make the best out of this gift.

       Sadly, we all want to talk & hear ourselves only. This is the inner sound that we already knew. It's human nature but we can do something about it. I want to talk, you want to talk, then let's start listening. It's not only about letting it out, its more on giving everybody the chance to let it all out. Now, can you hear any sound? I'm sure you do because the sound is now coming from your heart and not from your mouth.

Insan

Madilim ang paligid

Pero masugid na nakaupo sa gilid

Kahit nakatagilid ay nakatingin

Tuloy parang mahuhulog sa bangin

'Di maiwasang mapatingin sa mga buhangin

Lahat ng problema gusto mong angkinin

Kelan ka kaya makakalanghap ng sariwang hangin?

Pssst 'di ka ba nagsasawa?

Paulit-ulit wala ka namang ginagawa

Paano giginhawa kung ngawa ka ng ngawa?

Pagkasawi mahirap talagang mapawi

Kung puro awa sa sarili ang namumutawi

Paano ka niyan matatapos at makauwi?

Kung araw-araw pareho ang iyong gawi

Buksan mo kaya iyong mga mata

'Di mo naman kailangan maging makata

Mukha ka tuloy nayuping lata

Lahat may solusyon huwag kang mataranta

Oo alam ko lagi kitang sinisita

Kahit kelan 'di titigil magprisinta

Kailan ka kaya uli makakakanta?

Pag-asa ay nasa isang tabi lang

Tutulungan kitang tumayo kaya please lang

Bumangon ka na diyan

Alam mong 'di kita pababayaan

Kaya sarili ay iyo ding turuan

Kahit pa nga ang isang sirang laruan

Kung pagtutulungan ay muling mapapakinbangan

Halika na wala na 'tong atrasan

Dibdib mo ay laging tigasan

Sarili ay muling bihisan

Pati kalooban mo ay linisan

Dahil tapos na ang kabanata mong minsan

Kamuntik nang sa'yo ay magpalisan

Kaya iyong bilisan, halika na insan

I Can't Stop Lying

      I'm ok don't worry about me. I've been through tough times, and this too shall pass. Writing has helped me survive this ordeal. With words, I can convey clearly what I feel and completely relay all my thoughts and stranges feelings.

      I've never been alone, you're always there for me when I couldn't understand my loneliness. When I don't know why I can't smile, you smiled back at me. When I couldn't figure out how to solve my financial problems, you gladly make fair suggestions and remedies. Truly, when things are slowly falling down again, you're always there to catch me. Without you by my side, I'm nothing. Please don't leave and make me stop lying.

      I haven't changed. I'm still the fearful sinner who hurt you and ruined your life. I'm still in control and will continue to be in control. I feel happy. I feel nothing. I am with you in your loving arms and I just couldn't stop lying!
