Sick Cycle

Too often have I heard these lines..
Too aquainted with the night..

Playing the part

Gazing at the horizon, I fail to see
Everything that looks up at me
Must be a simple glance
Not a hopeless trance
Not like me
You can't be
Staring at futility

Diphenhydramine

There's a fine line between being hopeful and being delusional.
Who wouldn't admire the fool who conquered a wall through endless sweat, tears, and persistence
While other people just walked around it.

These are just afterthoughts on a long, quiet, Sunday night.
Maiming the dreamer.  Treading on.

Stiff Neck

I've been barking up the wrong tree
Even though I'm sure there's nothing up there
No, there's nothing there
But I persist
and persist
and persist

Why do we want what we can not have?
And what's wrong with it?
Isn't life's beauty in the endless struggles,
in making real the could-have-beens,
in chasing the impossible.

Will you challenge those who don't want to accept life's limitations,
those who believe that nothing is impossible,
the dreamers and the believers?

Will you sympathize with them? Empathize?
Wish you could be more like them?
Or feel sorry for them?

There's a dreamer in all of us
Some of us realize where to draw the line,
some live in their own world,
and some dream with their eyes open.

Plastic

Ayoko sa mga plastic.
'Di ko ma-take.
'Di ko talaga kaya.
Namimilipit ako sa inis.
Salot sa buhay.
Grabe.

Kaya iniiwasan ko na lang.
Mabuti pa nga, iwasan na lang.

Abundance Mentality

Keep it coming
Keep it going
Keep hoping
Keep moving
Don't stop to think
Don't think
Don't stop
Don't stink
Just go
With the flow
No, don't say no
Can't say never
Never can't
Can't not
No, never
Never know
Don't ask
Don't frown
Don't go back
Don't erase
Just add
Just smile
Just do
Look up
Walk it off
Move on
Keep on
Keep on, Keeping on
And go
Just go
Go
Go

Serendipity

The worst is over and I am glad.
 
What is bad anyway
but a state of mind
just as happiness is.
 
Here's to looking ahead,
to sunrises and sunsets,
for learning from the past,
and having no regrets.
 
Heaven isn't a reward,
it can't be found in inaction,
but in a conscious, unceasing effort
to have peace in everyone's hearts.
 
The best things in life aren't free.
But the best things
aren't what's waiting for us in the end
but what happens to us while we're trying to get there.

I am overwhelmed
I am really grateful
I am so indebted.

Damn it! Things just work out in the end.
I will make you proud.

Square One

It doesn't matter how things have developed—or not developed, how distant our worlds are now, or how disillusioned we may have seemed. What matters is the music and the magic that ruled our worlds. I don't regret hoping or loving even if it may have been foolish sometimes—or most of the time. The highs will always outweigh the lows, the smiles always outshine the tears. After everything is said and done, I can say that it was all worthwhile and everything has helped me become a better person.

Still Life

A warm cup of tea sits
Waiting with moist lips
Passion filled from within
As spirals rise from the brim
Spinning, turning, moving 'round
A thousand stories without sound
A cup of tea sits in a frozen frame
A frozen moment, passion tamed

Weather Report

Overcast skies aren't so bad
There's bound to be a little rain every now and then
And a little drama makes life more interesting

It's okay not to have too much sun
Everybody needs a sun break
And so what if it rains?

I like rain.
Rain is good.
Bittersweet, but sweet.

At the break of dawn

Today I woke up with a smile on my face and peace in my heart
Without fear
Without tremors
With a yearning for the day

It seems as if a prayer has been answered
It feels like I've woken up from a long restless dream

There is hope for tomorrow

It's a bright beautiful new day

Overcast Skies

I saw her today
and a thousand what-ifs poured in like the rain
heavy clouds of things unrequited covered the skies
I was helpless, unable to defy what the heavens will
