When Standing is not Easy

I have to stand when standing is not easy

For when it is, what joy is there to feel?

I need to have faith when the tide is against me

Who knows one day it'll succumb to my will?

My eyes have seen how the waves cruelly tumbled;

In this world, the weak's always the first to crumble.

You would not live long if you are not capable;

Of picking yourself up each time you stumble.

The path to success is never plain;

It is never lenient; never tame.

It's rather dreary, truculent and rough;

Those who could tread it are the brave and tough.

And so I've sworn not to quish when I fall;

To bend, to roll but never to crumble.

To shudder, to bleed but never surrender;

I'd fight till I win- a determined soldier!

Even the wind tries to blow me down;

I get up patiently, a knight so gallant.

Even the storm tries to smash me down;

I struggle fearlessly, a heart so valliant!

I will always stand when standing is not easy;

I will walk straight and sturdy as can be.

I will not give up when the tide's against me;

Soon it will bow and succumb to me in my victory!

Window

A place to behold;

The snow as it falls.

A refuge to the lonely;

Somewhere to catch cold.

For me it is a border;

Parting me from you.

Oh beloved stranger;

I watch you from here.

Not wanting to interfere;

My gloomy soul tries;

To make sense of it all.

This window is a wall;

Preventing hearts to collide.

Behind it, I hide;

All my yearnings inside.

42 Beats per Minute

Oh my over-fatigued heart;

Throbs life in its weakest.

Holds you like a secret;

There it goes fighting-

42 beats per minute;

Hope it won't stop shortly

Cause I've never told you yet;

How much I'm trying-

To live for you dear;

Though the truth is

I wanna disappear!

You Are The Dream

You are the dream

I wake up from

Every single time

The stream

Of white lie

I try to get by

With a sigh

While him-

He is the possibility

Waiting to happpen

A ray of sunshine

Fighting the stark

Darkness within me

And me?

I am the girl

Stupid enough

To cling on you-

The dream

That will never ever be!

-The dream that will never be

Oh, The Places We've Been
Oh, The Places We've Been
Oh, The Places We've Been

Oh, the places we've been

I keep going back to all of them

Keep retracing the steps

Keep trying to remember

How the laughter sounded

I wonder if you tried

To go back too

Is it only me

Or did you try to search me too

Among strangers

Walking along the scenic

Calle Crisologo

Where I first professed my love

And where you chose to break my heart

By walking away

Without telling me why

-Calle Crisologo,

Manila Doesn't Feel Like Home

Manila doesn't feel like home

Though it hums all my songs

Recites the old rhymes

I crafted

In that old asotea

Locked in your arms

Like we'll never part

Though I felt it in your heart

You never loved me from the start

As I leaned closer

I felt each beat ached for her

You should know it pierced me

The way Manila breaks me in pieces

As it reminds me I don't fit

Into this bustling metropolis!

-Manila breaks me,

I Will Lament

I will lament

Our love like Andromache

I will sing three heroic

Songs for you and me

Though in truth

Our paths were never

Meant to cross

As much as our hearts

Were never meant

To respond to each other's call

-Never meant to cross,

Katie, 16:23
