Literary: Maybe




I want to stop overthinking and lying to myself

But still, I ask:
Am I wrong for wanting such from you?

I feel scared that, maybe, I’m crossing boundaries that should not be crossed

I am scared that this leaking heart that keeps on giving so much love to you
Might just suddenly give up.

But if you want the same, please do not keep it hidden,
And show that which you have been forced to deny.

Too many others have nobody,
Yet I have you, including the doubt in my own wandering mind
Having thoughts that may lead to an ending

Yet my heart says,
It's you I've wanted above all else,
It’s you I’ve wanted above every dream

Is it love?
Or am I a fool for ever wanting you?

Literary: Paano Kung




Dumating ka na ba sa puntong,
Kailangang mamili sa dalawa?
Gigising ka ba,
O matutulog pa?
Aabsent ka,
O papasok sa eskwela?
Aaminin mo ba sa kanya,
O hindi na, dahil torpe ka?

Suko na,
O tuloy pa?
Mahal mo pa,
O ayaw na?
Ngunit sa kabila ng pagpipilian
‘Di alam ano‘ng kahihinatnan
Kahit iyong isaalang-alang
Nakaraan,
Kasalukuyan,
O hinaharap man,
Sa kabila nito
Lahat tayo
Sigurado
Babalik at babalik pa rin
Sa araw at oras na iyon
At tatanungin,
Paano kung iba ang pinili ko?

Literary: Lakas ng Loob x Paumanhin






Lakas ng Loob

Pano kung makihati ako sa oras mo?
Pano kung buksan ko ang aking puso?
Pano kung sumama ako sa iyong mga plano?
Subukan mong tanggapin ako.
Malalaman mong nararamdaman ko’y totoo.

Ayos lang ba kung araw-araw kitang pangitiin?
Ayos lang ba kung ika’y aking hagkan at yakapin?
Ayos lang ba kung aking palitan,
Lahat ng masama mong naranasan
At nang aking mapatunayan
Na mali ka sa sinabi mong
Mga lalaki’y pare-pareho lang.

Subukan mong tignan ako sa’king mata
Kaya ko bang lokohin ka?
Subukan mong makinig sa akin.
Hindi ko ba naririnig ang iyong mga hinaing?

Ngayon aking tatanungin
Ayos lang bang makihati sa oras mo?
At sabihin sa’yong wala akong ibang plano,
Kundi mahalin ka buong buhay ko.

Paumanhin

Paumanhin ngunit di ko magagawa.
Paumanhin ngunit di ko gustong saktan ka.
Paumanhin ngunit hindi ko mapigilan.
Paumanhin ngunit sarado pa ang aking isipan.
Paumanhin ngunit may nananatili pa rin sa puso kong nagdurugo.

Nang malaman mong nararamdaman ko’y totoo.
Hindi mapapalitan ang lungkot sa bawat ngiting iyong ipinapakita.
TIla mga yakap pa rin niya ang aking dala-dala at inaalala.
Mahal ko pa rin siya.

Lahat ng aming pinagsamahan,
Mananatili pa rin sa aking isipan,
Masakit man ang aking pinagdadaanan.
Siya pa rin talaga ang nilalaman
Hindi ko pa kayang humanap ng iba.
Dahil hanggang ngayon umaasa at aasa pa rin talaga
Ang puso kong minamahal pa rin ang isang tulad niya.

Ngayon ika’y tatanungin
Maari mo bang pigilin?
Ang iyong tunay na raramadaman para sa akin
Dahil kahit anong aking pagpipilit
Wala pa ring papalit sa kanya na tunay kong iniibig.

Literary: Under the Same Sky






In this world full of diversity
We see each person differently,
Everyone coexists peacefully.
But…
People started to discriminate,
People started to hate.
We forgot about simplicity,
And judged some by ethnicity.
We disregarded what was right
And chose only to fight
And yet…
If we work together, once again we'll win
No matter the color of one’s skin
Remember…
That nobody is superior
Nor inferior
All people are created equal
Therefore…
Our differences we don't need to magnify.
We all live under the same sky.

Literary: Ask






WHEN

It was Valentines then
When my heart broke
It was torn apart, went up in smoke
That was the time I lost all hope

Now it’s coming back, all over again

WHERE

Hurts me still
Right beneath my chest
Can’t accept the fact that it was all a jest
Now there’s nowhere to go
Suddenly, my life’s a mess

WHO

The girl who lifted me up
The one who I once considered
My other half,
Ended up breaking my heart

WHAT

It was the end of our love story
And up to now everything remains a mystery

WHY

I still don’t know

Literary: DABDA: Move On Na






Denial Stage
Anong nangyari?
‘Di ka naman ganyan dati
Totoo ba ang bawat salitang iyong sinambit?
‘Di ako naniniwala, masyado itong masakit
At alam kong hinding-hindi mo ito magagawa
Ang iwan ako, kahit ako pa ay magmakaawa.

Anger Stage
Bato, bato sa langit
Ang matamaan, magagalit?
Patama rito, patama roon
Parinig dito, parinig doon
Bakit ka ba nagagalit?
Ako na nga itong iniwan mo’t ipinagpalit
Puro ka sumbat
Ikaw naman ‘tong biglang bumitaw

Bargaining stage
Pwede ba ang isa pang pagkakataon?
Muli nating ibalik ang kahapon
Noong tayong dalawa’y masaya pa
Noong mahal pa natin ang isa’t isa.
Handa kong limutin ang masalimuot nating nakaraan.
Mahal pa rin kita, sana iyong pakatandaan.

Depression
Nahihilo, nalilito, natutuliro
‘Di na malaman ang gagawin
Bakit nga ba ganito?
Talagang masakit sa damdamin
May mga gabing ‘di ako makatulog
Dahil sa mga tanong na sa akin ay gumugulo

Acceptance
Matagal-tagal ko ring tiniis
‘Di na muling umiyak at ‘di na naiinis
Tuwing tayo’y nagkikita-kitang tatlo
Nagmumukha kang dehado at talo
Hahanap ka na nga lang ng ipapalit
Iyon pang ‘di makapapantay sa akin
Mukha man akong bitter ngunit hindi
Handa ko nang ipagmalaki
Hindi na kita mamahalin pang muli.

Literary: In You





I used to believe that you are my world.
No matter what they say and do,
Life, love, destiny pulled us through
It is written in the stars so I just cannot leave you

Like the planets revolving around the sun
It gives me excitement like nothing can
Thinking about you I cannot stop
You're in my mind running a neverending lap

Every night, gazing upon the sky full of stars
I reflect on our moments spent in paradise
Never did I think that all these would pass by.
I didn’t think letting go could make me cry.

Although we are meant to be,
I am not sure if I’m ready to set you free.
If you don’t know how much you mean to me,
Try counting the stars and then you'll see

Now that I know the world is just a fragment,
I look instead at the bigger picture.
Keeping what I learned from every single moment
Will surely have an impact on my future.

Because…
In you, I felt what it’s like.
In you, there’s a reason to take out fright.
In you, I look at problems in reverse.
In you, I see the universe.

Literary: Six Shades of Promises




A promise is a commitment,
You have to be consistent.

A promise is sacred
Because it’s more than just a word
You cannot take for granted.

A promise is binding.
Don’t you miss a thing,
Don’t go about forgetting.

A promise is easy to make
But is hard to keep.

A promise is what you do,
Not what you say you’ll do.

A promise is everything,
And once broken, it will mean nothing.

Literary: Dear Modesty



You used to...

Tie your hair neatly,
Wear flowing skirts and long-sleeved shirts,
Walk gracefully,
Cover your smile when you giggle,
And speak so demurely.
Because of these I was intrigued.
Your reservations made me want to know more about you,
To see that smile behind the fan,
And to hold you by your hand.
Slowly, I fell for you.

But now...

Look.
What happened to you? The way you look doesn’t seem right.
You have changed.
No more ribbons in your hair
Your dresses are much shorter than before
You do anything you want without being ashamed.
Seems like you have lost all care
You can't be tamed,
Your innocence has waned.

But still...

I lost you to this day and age.
I understand you know much,
But don't lose that coyness.
Know your worth.
Act right; look right.
You can still be attractive
Without being aggressive
And always remember
You are not easy,
You will always be my fair lady.

Love,
Chivalry

Literary: Those Days



I lived in anger, fear, and regret
As I sought for forgiveness and put my life to bet.
People judge me for the things I did wrong
That is why I’m searching for an uplifting song.

My tears fell and I wiped them away
As if they only lasted for a day.
The times I was hurt, it was because I cared,
Now, I have to accept that life is unfair.

I did things I wish I could change
I wonder if life can still be rearranged.
Second chances don’t last for so long
So I’d better act before mine’s gone.

As time goes by everything fades away
Though deep in my heart I wish you stayed.
I sleep with joy now, when I lay down at night
And I can see brightness even without light.
