ENGLISH-TAGALOG POETRY

Killing Me Softly

Depression is a big word,
It's a big concern to the world,
It may bring your life to an end,
And all you're gonna do is pretend.

I've been through that,
You can call me no brat,
You haven't seen me through my mask,
I wouldn't show you even if you ask.

As time passed the suffering remained,
And All the pain still retained,
I hope for all of these to stop,
Or else I know that I'll flop.

Then you came into my life,
Stopping me from cutting my wrist with a knife,
I wouldn't care less, if I were you,
Just leave me, 'cause that's what they do.

You were so persistent,
You wouldn't stop until your heart's content,
I wanna avoid what I'm thinking,
No! I could still stop what I am feeling.

Yet, my walls started to break,
My smiles began to be unfake,
I don't need to be in Korea,
'Cause being with you feels like euphoria.

I didn't feel gloomy anymore,
It isn't the same as before,
I want to thank you for the effort,
Now, I promise to keep coming forth.

The sadness I felt was tamed,
The freedom I want was claimed,
I stand loved by all people,
Indeed, you are regal.
