Literary: Pwede Pala




“Sino ka ba?”

Unang tingin ko pa lang sa'yo
Agad nag-init aking ulo.
Doon ko nasabi sa aking sarili
Na dapat kitang iwasan palagi.

Sa ating unang pagtatagpo,
Agad ko nang napagtanto,
Na hindi tayo kailanman
Magkakasundo.


“Nakakainis!”

Di maitatanggi,
Na ika’y isang taong di mapirmi sa iisang tabi.
Halos sa lahat ng gawai’y
Nais mong makisali.

Kulang ka yata sa pansin.
Ano ba ang aking nagawa para ako’y malasin?
Lahat ng ginagawa ko sa mata mo’y mali.
Ika’y galit sa’kin sa bawat minuto’t sandali.

“Ang yabang naman nito…”

Di lingid sa karamihan
Na ang ulo mo’y puno ng hangin at kayabangan.
Akala mo lahat ay nadadaan
Sa salita’t usapan.

Lagi’t lagi’y gusto mong ikaw lamang
Ang tanging nagsasalita’t pinakikinggan.
Sapagkat sa tingin mo’y tama lagi
Ang iyong mga tinuran.

“Teka.. parang mabait naman…”

Sa di inaasahang pagkakataon,
Pagkatapos ng mahaba - habang panahon,
Doon ko lang lubos nasilayan,
Ang itinatago mong kabutihan.

At sa paglipas ng panahon
Nang magkapalagayan ng loob,
Doon ko lubos nakita
Ang tunay mong kagandahan.


“Kaibigan? Pwede pala…”

Sino nga namang mag-aakala?
Na pagkakasunduin ng tadhana,
Ang dalawang magka-ibang indibidwal
Sa isang pagkakaibigang puno ng aruga't pagmahahal.

Literary: The Chosen Dream




Dare to dream
Even if impossible, it may seem
To reach what’s supreme,
You'll have to do the extreme

Too big, too hard, too tough.
Plain talent will never be enough
To conquer this game that I love
I must rise to be above

They doubt I'd make it
They tell me to just quit
But to fight against all odds
It's all about the fighting spirit

Miss or make, it’s a risk I'd take
For the team's drought to break
I'll sacrifice everything
To see the team winning

One last season to make it happen
One last run for the captain
Final 4, it's been awhile
But the wait has been worthwhile

Literary: The Real Life from Within





He bids you hello, with smiles from left to right
He never fails to make the day bright
To be with him just feels so light
He just makes everyone feel alright

The joyous man filled with fantasy
Said something with ecstasy,
"Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success."

His smile never fades,
Not knowing his heart's a grenade,
Waiting to explode promptly
With all the madness he treated fondly

When he's not in sight,
No one knows the real fight
There are tears beneath the joy,
Deep sadness within the boy

He had happiness for a living,
But deep inside he's slowly dying
That never stopped him from fighting,
Each day still resiliently smiling

The one thing that left me crying
Was when everything was falling
No one even tried caring
Because no one knew anything

The happiest man on the outside
Was loneliest on the inside
For the real life is from within
Not from the forged grin

Literary: One Wish





A little bit of nursing
A little bit of teaching
A little bit of parenting
They all add up to everything

I grew old looking up and looking bold,
My dreams having an infinite threshold
For I had someone like you to look up to
For years and years and through and through

When we got the chance to talk
We didn’t see the time on the clock
"You have to be odd to be number 1,"
Simple words you told me before we were done

But now that you're gone
I look at the sky at dawn
Reminiscing the countless moments we had
Hoping for even just 1 day to add

You never fail to make the world a little softer
For you make my world alone kinder
Even when my heart is filled with anger

It's been 365 days, and I still wonder
If it’s possible to spend 1 more day with my grandfather
Just 1 day to make everything better
But I guess the answer will remain in my dreams forever

To mi abuelo who’s already in heaven
On a scale of 1 to 10, you'll always be my eleven
7 days a week, 4 weeks a month, 12 months a year
And here I am wishing you were still here
