Literary: Ego Feeder



First,
Find a boy who will fall for
Your hair,
Your eyes,
Your pouty lips,
Or your smile.

That boy should be able to treat you right,
Blind himself from your selfishness,
Keep you friendly company through the night,
And love you despite your intentions.

Second,
Make him stay
And promise him you’ll always love
The way he smiles at silly things
And the way he holds you when you feel down.

Third,
Forget about him most of the time,
Fall in love with anyone else who makes you laugh,
Forget about the letters he wrote you,
Or how you filled his thoughts.

Fourth,
Be confused as to how to tell him
That you don’t love him anymore.

Fifth,
Realize you never did.

Finally,
Tell him you’re sorry that he stayed around
To only disappoint him in the end
Tell him he will always be fun to be with.

Punish yourself for making him love you
Just because you never did.

Literary: Liar



How many times have I said it?
How many times have I repeated it?
How many times have I failed?
How many times have I said that I’d try?

What if you never knew?
What if I no one ever told you?
What if the gossip never flew?
Would we ever get to talk without further ado?

I want to change but I don’t know how.
I do not want it someday; I want it now.
I want to take every opportunity I can get,
No more wasted chances, no more regrets

I said that I would change for the better,
I said I would have the courage.
I said, “Come tomorrow, I will finally talk to her!”
But in truth I’m just a scared, dimwitted liar.

Literary: Speechless



“Hi” was the only thing I could say
Before my mind went blank.
As I saw you walk my way,
My only thought was if you’d say “hi” back.

Whenever I see you,
A conversation is all I ask—
One longer than a minute or two.
Simply, in your presence, I bask.

I can’t help but wonder,
With opportunities ringing like a chime,
I let them pass and say “later”
Only to find out, there is no time.

Has this all been predestined?
I’ve tried it all to get closer
But, alas, in the bitter end,
It is I who drives myself farther.

But why? Why am I like this?
Change, am I to resist?
Will I forever keep myself from bliss?
No more, for without you I cannot exist.

That will soon be nothing more than the past.
With these words we shall part.
On the morrow I shall change at last,
And I shall look forward to a new start.

Literary: Handa Ka Ba?



Handa mo bang itaya
Ang sarili para sa kanya?
Sa kanyang ang mahal daw ay ikaw?
Isa itong malaking sugal.

Handa mo bang harapin
Ang bukas para sa kanya?
Sa kanyang ikaw lang daw ang nakikita’t natatanaw?
Isa itong pakikipagsapalaran.

Handa mo bang sabihin sa kanya
Na di mo mapaniwalaan ang nararamdaman niya?
Na baka hindi ikaw ang natatanaw, nakikita’t mahal niya?
Isa itong pagdududa.

Kaya dumating ang oras,
Sinabi mong maghintay siya.
Hanggang ang pagdududa’y lumipas,
Ang sumugal at makipagsapalara’y matapang nang mahaharap.

Lumipas ang mga araw at buwan,
Kung kailan sa wakas,
Napag-isip-isip mong handa ka na,
Tatanggapin mo na ang pagmamahal na alay niya.

Sasagot ka nang “mahal kita.”
Subalit nakita mo siyang masaya’t nasa malayo na,
Ngayong handa ka na buhay naman niya’y natapos na.
Handa ka pa rin ba?

Literary: When It All Began



I still remember that day. When you delightfully entered the room I was in, you also unknowingly entered my life. I barely knew you nor did I want to. So I didn’t expect to reach this point… this point when you make my mind spin circles, go round and round like a carousel every time I see you.

I still remember that day. You wore your best smile. That unforgettable arch of your lips lit up my world. There were so many people in that crowded place yet you effortlessly caught my attention. Soon, you also caught my heart and got ahold of my emotions.

I still remember that day. You spoke to me softly. Your angelic voice and your heavenly tone had me floating on cloud nine. I hoped that sound serenading my ears would last forever. Your words kept flowing through my veins that I feel every inch of you in my soul.

I still remember that day when I saw a spark in every move you made, when you captured every single piece of my heart. I remember the wick of the candle that you lit, the butterflies in my stomach you made flutter. That day was the beginning of everything I feel for you right now.

That was the day I started falling in love with you.
