Panaghoy

Hindi makakilos
Hindi makapagisip
Tulala na parang lumulutang
Kasama ang ulap ng pighati

Hindi malaman kung ano ang gagawin
Upang ang luha ay tumigil
Sa pagagos sa mukha
Nang hindi maipakita ang tunay na damdamin

Ang tanging dingin sa Poong Maykapal
Ay tumigil ang panaghoy ng pusong umaangal
Upang ang sakit sa dibdib ay tuluyang mapawi
Ng halik at yakap ng aking pagibig

Lost Essays

I was immensely depressed way back in October 2008.  Ironically, that was my birth month, but during that time, I was in an extremely dark place.  I just wanted to die, but didn't seem to have the resolve to go through it.  So I wrote.  I wrote and I wrote and I wrote until I finally had fucks to give again. The next two essays that I am going to post are from the darkness inside my head back during that year.  I was messed up; completely and utterly fucked in the head, and these writings are illustrations of the vulnerable, broken (like I'm not broken until now...) 28-year old me stripped bare of everything. These are the thoughts in my fucked up (yes, I cannot emphasize that any more than I am physically capable of) head.

He walked silently, casting small, furtive glances at each changing sight through the fence.   He watched as kids played in the yard while they waited for their school buses or parents or whoever the hell was picking them up from school.   Ryan turned the corner and slowed his pace even more, just enjoying the everyday sights that he saw every time he followed the same path.   He touched the tender spot on his stomach and winced.   He really did not want to go home yet, but he knew he had to.   He would just get it worse if he didn’t, so he trudged on.   He...

Writing

The art of writing For most people Is the pouring out of emotions Through a pen To a piece of paper For me The art of writing Is breathing life to words To be able to capture the soul The pen is just an instrument You use to create a whole new life A different world A parallel dimension It’s not just an escape But a journey Through lands made up of minds, Emotions Ideas Life A life that I myself created A universe where I am God As God had done I give my creations my own life Breathe into them my own breath And after writing down a piece I put my pen down And enjoy the high Of being able to create Of experiencing being God Of feeling more alive than I had ever been
