Monokuro Boo

You speak as if I'm a paper doll. You define my facade with the point of your pen. You clothe me with such chromatic thoughts. You fold me to whatever form you prefer. And then you smile, to see such physique you have beautifully crafted with your words, with your thoughts.

And you see a curl from my lips, seemingly forming a smile. Yet, it is not what you perceive. I am not smiling back at you.

Perhaps, the day will come that I shall, when you perceive is other than my physique. When you have conceived that I am a soul, not just a PRETTY PAPER DOLL.

Life Existence

Life has billions of metaphors and similes, and yet it is cliched.
Take a step... then another...

Each step you take and each breath you release is a witness
and an evidence of your existence.
But oftentimes, we are dissatisfied with the life we are blessed with
that we look at our lives as an understatement of someone else's.

So why is it that in our existence we crave to run another's walk?
...to create a wave to match another's ripple?
...to light up an inferno to equal another's torch?
...to blow a tornado to defeat another's whisper?
...to let envy fill our insecurities -- our littleness in life?

Our life. Our growth. Our jelousy.
Appreciate life. The phenomenon of you existence.

Take a step... then another... and then sprint to infinity...

My Role

"Kahit pala iba na yung taong mahal ko, pareho pa rin ang nasa script -- ang lunukin ko ang pride ko. :'("

I Deceive You


If by chance soulmates are true,
Then I have found you.
Careful to fall in love,
This heart has finally found his match.

But dear prince,
You in your white horse have come too soon.
For the glass slipper has yet to fit,
And your true love's kiss I cannot still receive.

So to cure this affliction,
Forgive me for using deception.
For hurtful may it be for both of us,
I choose not to reveal my love.

Know that this soul you have enchanted,
This heart you have captivated.
A charming love story it promises to be.
But I choose to live a lie.

But then, perhaps to win in love,
Sometimes, we must cheat.
To gain her happy ending,
The princess in the tale must use deceit.

Suicide


She was forgotten.
Not despised, simply forgotten.
She lost control of the thoughts in her head.

And as her mind gave up on her,
she fell in love with the image of a visitor--
the ghastly silhouette of the grim reaper.

Past & Present

Loneliness is a good feeling when
It is created by ourself.
But..it is the worst feeling when
It is gifted by others.

Broken heart is like having broken ribs.
On the outside it is like nothing’s wrong but every breath hurts.

Falling in Love is easy. Staying in Love is a challenge.
Letting go is the hardest part. And moving on is Suicide.


PAST

At Childhood we cry loudly to get what we like.
But when we Grownup we cry silently to forget what we like.

I wish I had the guts to walk away & Forget about what we had.
But I can’t because I know you won’t come after me.
& That’s what Hurts the most.

I compromised everything for you…but
But in the end you compromised me for everything.

Sometimes I hate getting Close to people because I think they’ll
Just eventually walk out of my life no matter how close we are.

I guess I will still have to survive
With or without you.

That sad moment when you find an old conversation
Between You & Someone you don’t talk to anymore.

I hate the feeling when you have to say goodbye
To someone you want to spend every minute with.

Everyone says, “just get over him, move on.”
Yeah, well, I would if I could.


PRESENT

A man’s biggest Mistake is giving another man
An opportunity to make his woman Smile.

People Cry not because they are weak
But because they’ve been strong for too long.

Sometimes I wish I can appear Offline in relaity.
