Minsan, pinaparamdam ng buhay na parang left behind tayo-parang extra sa isang pelikula. 'Yung tipong nandiyan ka, pero parang walang nakakapansin.
Parang margin sa isang picture-nandoon, pero hindi talaga tinitingnan.
Ang librong ito ay para sa mga taong nakaka-experience maging background character sa sarili nilang story. 'Yung pakiramdam na parang hindi ka nakikita ng pamilya, nale-left out ka ng mga friends, at hindi napipili sa love. 'Yung may mga gabi na napapatanong ka sa sarili mo kung may value ka ba talaga, kung may lugar ka ba talaga sa mundo, kung magiging enough ka ba balang araw?
Pero ito rin ay kwento ng paglalakbay-mula sa lungkot at self-doubt, papunta sa unti-unting paghilom. Isang proseso ng pagtanggap, pag-intindi, at pagmamahal sa sarili.
Hanggang sa dumating ka sa realization na hindi ka talaga ginawa para manatili sa gilid.
Hindi ka margin.
Hindi ka outcast.
Hindi ka unchosen.
Isa itong paalala na habang pakiramdam mo invisible ka, may halaga ka pa rin. Kahit pakiramdam mo binabalewala ka, sapat ka. Kahit hindi ka palaging pinipili, karapat-dapat ka pa rin.
Dahil kahit anong rejection pa ang iparamdam ng mundo, you were never meant to stay in the margins.
You deserve to be seen.
You deserve to be heard.
At higit sa lahat, you deserve to be loved.

Not Just Words...
Not Just Words... is more than a collection of poetry...it's a raw, unfiltered journey through the landscapes of mental health, vulnerability, and resilience. Blending powerful verses with personal reflections, this book dives deep into the experiences of depression, anxiety, and the quiet battles we all fight within. For anyone who has ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or broken, these poems serve as a voice when words fail. They are a friend for the moments when life feels too heavy, and a source of hope for those searching for light in the darkness. Through every verse, I confront the shadows that have haunted me and, in doing so, invite you to reflect on your own struggles. The emotions here are real...sometimes painful, sometimes healing, but always genuine. This book isn't just a window into my soul...it's an invitation to face your own inner battles, to feel seen, and maybe even understood. How do you describe what it feels like to be human, to hurt, to heal? Maybe you don't. Maybe the words within these pages will do that for you. Not Just Words... is for anyone seeking connection, comfort, and the reassurance that they're not alone.

Pinwheels and Dandelions
I was kicked around like trash on the streets. I was the book that nobody could understand or read, but without a care, they were quick to rip out the pages. I screamed for attention, but time after time, I was ignored. Nobody noticed me, so I made myself at home in my own shadow. They say there's light at the end of the tunnel -- I searched and searched for it, but it could never be found. Therefore, I lost hope as I hid in the shade and endured what seemed like everlasting pain. The little hope I did have was snatched from my arms. My baby brother was my life, and they took my glimpse of hope away. Home. Is that a word? Maybe for a family of some kind, but for me, I never had a place to call home. I moved from place to place. Unstable foster care, fighting for my life in group homes, barely surviving in detention centers, and running away from being mistreated as I made many benches my temporary home. The only thing that I was familiar with was a black plastic bag containing my dirty rags. I am too young to know what it feels like to survive. These are the cards life has dealt me and I am not meant to win; however, I easily lose without trying. It is hard for me to find peace. I am paying for my mother's reckless actions. I am trapped in a world where the sun has died because I am unable to feel love. I am unable to dream. Sorrow is my aura, and the sadness hugs me. My eyes are closed shut by the barbed wire fence from my eyelashes as they prohibit tears from falling. I am damaged. When will the morning come? Did the sun put up a fight last night, like I do every single day? If I can survive the day, I know the sun isn't dead. One day, I will awake to a glorious sunrise. Until then, I hope my brother keeps blowing his pinwheel, and I will keep making wishes with every dandelion I come across. For now, all I know is that everything was taken from me, and the only thing I own is my name.Complete
