So In Love
I can’t think of anything to write
I want to make a piece that rhyme
But words are very hard to find
I don’t know what I should say
Would anyone bother to stay
And take time to wait for my way
Some people say, I write from the heart
And I truly agree because it’s not a lie
For what I write is what I feel inside
I have this wonderful feeling to share
But how come that I can’t create
My mind seems floating in the air
Tonight that I am with my dearest love
My heart beats too fast and I’m almost numb
I’m in cloud nine so please do understand

Who Am I
Who am I?
How can I tell you exactly who I really am
I, myself can hardly recognize
The real me is just to fantasize.
Born from a humble town
My parents have not a single dime
To earn my degree
I worked at day and studied at night
Graduated with honors and medals
Got a job but not satisfied
Circumstances made me stagnant
What I dreamed of did not materialize
People thumbs up on me
But little did they know
What exactly is on my mind
I’m not as happy as they think I am
I may have all the things in life
A good husband who supports all my wants
Three kids who made me a woman
But a void lies here in my heart

To The Readers
Like what I have said,
I’m not really a poet and I don’t feel sad.
You see…I can hardly make simple one
But you may ask why and wonder how
Why I keep going and writing now.
Why?
How? And why?
The only answer I can give you, pal
This is true and it’s not a lie.
You… the readers of my humble writings
You are the reason why I keep on trying.
Especially those who rated me 10
I can’t believe you will give me sense.
If you only knew me
I always belittle myself.
In other words, I have no self confidence.
In all the things I’ve done
I've always been in hesitance and in doubt.
But because of you
I have my self worth now.

My Special One
You’re the one that I run to
When lies become the truth
When my heart feels the rage
Because you have all the keys
To let my feelings flow
To let my emotions cease
You’re the only one I have
When I feel rejected
And no one cares for me
Because you don’t comprehend
You do not complain
Yet you never fail to save me
You’re the one I love
The one I’m with
In the middle of the night
Whether it’s wrong or right
Now I got the feeling
You’re a hard habit to break

Another World
I spent most of my days
At home…
And was most content sitting
In my room alone
I rarely go out
For I don’t know where to go
I pulled away from the friends
I had always known
I began falling in
With another world
A world with a crowd
That I have never seen
A crowd…
That I’ve never touched
Nor even poked
But touches my life
And my whole being
Though we’ve never talked

Pagsintang Bawal
Batid ko ang dapat gawin
Iwaksi ang mali at tama ang piliin
Subalit paano pipigilin
Ako'y alipin ng aking damdamin
Ramdam ko'y pag-ibig ngayon pa lang dumating
Parang isang batang na love at first sight man din
Sa kabila ng lahat kong pagsikil
Di maitago nag-uumalpas kong damdamin
Sana lang di na kita nakilala pa
At nasilayan ang maamo mong mukha
Sana'y di mo na tinapunan pa
Ng isang ngiting puno ng pagsinta
Upang sa gayon ako'y hindi nabahala
At hindi na muling umibig pa
Subali't maaaring ako'y manghinayang
Kung pag-ibig na wagas ay di naranasan
Kahit pa ito'y pagsintang bawal

To My Best Friend
Just a mere look into my eyes,
You can easily tell what I feel inside.
You knew me best so I can’t pretend,
This is true ‘cause you’re my friend.
You stayed with me when I’m sad,
You tried hard to cheer me up.
Didn’t mind if others chat,
Just to comfort me and make me glad.
When I was sick, you’re my private nurse,
You attended all my needs and wants.
“That’s what friends are for”, you’ve said,
These were the sweetest words I've heard
You knew me when I am weak,
You held my hand to stand still.
I cannot think of anything best,
To repay you for your goodness.

Let's Keep Moving On
It’s often hard for us
To let go of our old ways
Of who we really are
Of what brings you pleasures
Or in dealing hardships in life
No matter how much we struggle
We keep on coming back
Our feelings of fear for our inadequacies
Keeps us from blocking the right path
Our feelings of unworthiness
Our fears of failures
Seems like a ghost
That keeps on haunting us
In times like this
I thank our Almighty God
For giving me Someone
To lean on and be my guide
At this point in life
We must pray and ask for His light

The Mask
Muscle flexes
From the corners of your mouth
Yes you smile
But too tired of giving them this one
For you know
You just do it
Only to satisfy his demand
No matter how grouchy you are
You have to smile
Only to fool them
What you really feel inside
But for how long
You’ll be wearing this
Come on
Be with me this time
I will lead you to a world
Where mask is not a must
To a world
Where you can be who you are
To a place

Pusong Tuliro
Bakit ba kung minsan
Mapaglaro ang tadhana
Bakit pa pinagtagpo mga pusong di na malaya
At ang pag-ibig ay umusbong nang kusa
May mga panahong hindi ko na kaya
Puso't isipan ko'y suko na talaga
Isipin ko lang na kapiling ka ng iba
Dibdib ay nagsisikip at di makahinga
Hindi ako sigurado sa iyong nararamdaman
Maaaring ako'y iyong pinaglalaruan lamang
Subali't heto ako at laging naghihintay
Sa tinig mo pa lamang lumbay ay napaparam
Kahit malayo ka
At cellphone lang ang tanging nag-uugnay
Asahan mong ikaw lagi ang nasa aking isipan'
