this is a circus
you are the lion
they are the ringmasters
you are the bear

they say jump
you say how high
they say roll
you say how low

this is a circus
you are the clown
they are the ringmasters
you are the freak

follow their lead
or suffer the lashes
follow their lead
or face the consequences

Stop the beat. 1613:04282011.

You dance to the music
They are the deejays
Groove to their every beat
Like monkeys in a cage

You complain
They change the song
You groove to the beat
Like there’s nothing wrong

Open your eye
Things are out of tune
It’s not hard to realize
Realize it soon

Things go boom boom boom
They send you to a room room room
Just as everyone else was instructed
Just say hmmm hmmm hmmm

No masters of fate
You don’t need to tango
‘Coz they don’t listen
You don’t need to mambo

It’s mind control
Holding you hostage
Wake your soul
Show your rage

Emotions. 0649:04282011.

That’s what I heard
Silent screams of pain
Come to think of it
Excruciating screams of pain

That’s what I saw
Sadness cloaked under smiles
Looking at it
Pitiful overflowing sadness

That’s what I felt
Heavy emotions
Trying to feel it
Uncontrollable emotions

Facing a mirror
That’s how it was
Just thought of it
Too damn hard

Echoes. 0700:04272011.

Echoes
Ringing in my ear
Whispering
Saying something

As I try to understand
It gets more confusing
At one point seems gibberish
At another it seems poetic

Stop and ponder
What is there to wonder
Could be senseless
Rather pointless

Echoes
Still ringing
Screaming
It’s excruciating

As I try to feel it
I get nothing
A dull emotion
Empty sensation

Doubts. 2021 : 04252011.

Seven years.
Seven long years.
Seven long years of nothing.
Wasted words.
Words that no one hears.
No guts, no glory.
Maybe.

What is up with that?
I am not sure.
I do not have the answers.
Well I do.
I am in denial.
I am scared to admit it.
Maybe.

Silence means yes.
Silence means no.
It is cowardice.
Nowhere near bravery.
This is stupid.
This is dumb.
Maybe.

Questions left unanswered.
Answers left unsaid.
Unsaid because it never came out.
It never came out because of lame excuses.
Lame excuses that are unacceptable.
Unacceptable because it is lame.
Maybe.

Forever falter.
Forever fall to pieces.
This has to stop.
This is killing me.
This is too emo.
Stop it right now.
Maybe.

Do it now.
Do it good.
Stand up and make yourself happy.
Happy enough to wear a smile.
Smile to make others smile.
Others who smile with the sight of you.
Maybe.

Work. 0019:04272011.

rise at five
fall at six
see the sunset
wait for sunrise

take one ride
and another
and another one
and then walk

sit down
stand up
talk and talk
argue and argue

an obligation
not a choice
that’s how it is
now back to business

damn.

Open Up. 2112:04272011.

boom
that’s about it
wow
so unexpected
not exactly

wait
don’t
go ahead
go right ahead
now

could have been
would have been
should have been
so unexpected
not exactly

unforseen
maybe not
overlooked
not so much
maybe not

This blog is two years old!

I didn’t realize that I’ve had this blog for 2 years now. Wow. How time flies so fast. Kudos!

It's 2 Years Old.

hay naku (ewan ko sa’yo)

Alam kong walang sense sa mundo
ang mga pinagsusulat ko
eh ano naman ang pakialam ko
naisip ko ito

ito ang nasa utak ko
punong-puno ng kung anu-ano
eto ang piso
humanap ka ng kausap mo

paraan ng pagtakas
pero hindi naman pag-aaklas
paraan ng pag labas
nag-uumapaw na ideyas

parang medyas na butas
parang pintang kupas
o eto ang piso
humanap ka ng kausap mo

Wala Talaga (Isang Tula)

Wala talaga

naisip ko lang
habang nakatulala sa wala
talaga nga kaya’ng
ganito lang ang mapapala

papasok sa gabi
uuwi sa umaga
walang ibang ginawa
kung hindi tumunganga

ngayon nagbago na
papasok sa umaga
uuwi sa hapon
magpapalipas ng panahon

sa pagtapos nitong tula
nag-iisip kung ano ang napapala
para kasi talagang wala
tingin ko talaga ay wala nga
