How clear is your view of the world
In that camera lens that you often hold?
Do smiles you captured were genuine?
Weren't they lifeless like that of a mannequin?

I wanted to write something inspirational
But I couldn't seem to match the emotions I feel within with words to fill out this page
I might end up being irrational
While trying to give an advice so sage

Prolonged agony
Pain could be excruciating
Trepidation arising
Fueled the underlying fury
-Feb 03
When I listen to one of your favorite songs
I picture the smile plastered on your face
the way your head sways and the tapping of your feet
you take me to a different world just by enjoying the beat
-Feb 4
I didn't mean to be greedy
but I want you all for me
just like a cup of my favorite coffee
I don't want to share you with anybody
-Feb 7
It takes confidence and self-esteem
to be out there living your life
It takes a single step out of your comfort zone
to be brave and win that fight

We didn't even realize the value we have as a person
We don't need to be complimented to feel beautiful
and we don't have to be the center of attention
just to feel valuable
everyone's worthy of love
because all of us is capable of giving love

I'm sory if I talk a little too much
That's one of the things I like to do
Especially when the subject of my talk is you
I couldn't shut my mouth so it does what it has to do
-Feb 12
It's almost midnight but I'm wide awake
Staring at my phone
Hoping the screen will light up
I want to hear the notifcation tone
set only for you
When was the last time I heard the sound of it?
I cannot remember
Probably from a long time ago
Oh, yeah. I forgot to remind myself
It's been a long time since we last spoke
It's over. We're over.
You will not call. Never again. Never.
-Feb 13
Aw, man, that's surprising!
Ever wonder why time doesn't stop ticking?
Just like the mind who never cease thinking
Want to pause for a while and stop existing
Stuff going on in my mind
When found these are not awesome finds
Why dont you have a look and see for yourself
The multitude of baddie I keep in this shelf
-Feb 16
How do we know if we already gave too much?
Are there warnings to keep us notified?
Does giving have its limits?
What about receiving, should there be credits?
-Feb 17
My heart started to race
When I heard you say my name
Could you see the excitement in my eyes?
I looked at you and saw the same
-Feb 18
Everybody needs company, they say
But what if you don't want to be one of the many?
I think that works just fine
You can be alone, sometimes, while you make most of your precious time
-Feb 22
Words can't describe what love actually means
Could it really warm the cockles of your heart?
Some say love is the best feeling in the world
But why does this place seem so deprive of it?
-Feb 22
One day you got fed up of doing the things repetitively
So you stepped out of your bubble
In hopes of finding the extinguished excitement
You ventured into the unknown
There you discovered greatness that filled your heart up to the brim
Fear not of being somewhere new
Life always has something to offer
You just have to take the chance
It all starts with you
-Feb 23
The world constantly keeps on turning
You wonder why you seem stuck in a loop
In a place where it makes you feel stalled
Ever heard that whisper to keep going?
Each of us tread on a path differently
So don't ever feel like you're excluded from everybody
Your way is also your own path to take
Every small step is part of the progess you make
-Feb 27
Started to question myself
Is loving you a bad habit?
I give, you take
You make mistakes, I forgive
the cycle repeats itself
Confessed one day that you don't love me anymore
I acted like I didn't hear the words
We continue to leaf through the pages of our book
But I'm no longer amuse of the chapters we unfold
Does loving me feel like a sort of game you find entertaining?
It seems to me you don't mind losing as long as there is enjoyment in playing
-Feb 27
A mind that wanders and needs to be found
Askew and lonely, it goes around
Daily struggles, with highs and lows, thoughts and emotions are seem to be imprisoned
A smile and a laugh - two cheap medication
Another silent battle has been won
With prayer, while healing, as the greatest weapon
-Feb 28
