The Problem We Created

                       Have we ever felt like we are sinking in the water of problems of our very lives? As if we are drowning and even barely breathing. We are like that coin being thrown in the water and just keep on getting sinking. We even imagined our past that keeps on reminding us that we are a failure. We are losers and we will never ever float from our problems. We have prayed and prayed but nothing happened. We just keep on getting below that drastic waters of difficulty. We experienced total hardships in life but seemed not enough. Then, we questioned God.                         We start complaining about the things that we wanted yet never had. We argue our rights and what we believe in. We even told Him that He does not know everything we have been through. We sounded even more than Him. We act as if we are wiser than of His own t...

Choose to be

                 We all make different ways on how to deal with things. Sometimes, we chose the least because we can not accept the fact that we are more than capable of what we imagine. We forget who we are and what we can do. We do things not on what we desire and dream but on what has been dictated for us to do. We never realized because of life's reality of seeing it pragmatically as differently as we are. We are all born with the brightest future if we only know the One who created it for us. We are not slaves. We are human beings having the mind and intellect to choose the path of the best future. We should not let ourselves be dictated by the opinions of other people. Be firm to what we believe in and having the unyielding mind to achieve the thing we always wanted. Having the right attitude and focus together with faith in God through Christ Jesus, we will surely go to the fate from which He already ordained us to have. We only n...

Procrastination: Its Tool Against Me

                        The problems of procrastination really crept the productivity that I should achieve. These problems gave rise to the most disastrous thing that I should never have been part of. That unwanted and deadly thing is the mediocrity. The Mediocrity of things that I should have been portraying as the best of I am. The things that I feel to be a professional, but yet when procrastination attacks I felt so overwhelmed and just continue saying later, perhaps never doing it. This problem really destroyed my strategy on organizing things, being logical and critical, and practicing which makes not really a perfect job but an excellent work.                         It started when I was in high school. It was in my first year or grade seven now. Our teacher instructed us to create a portfolio of our work consisting of test papers, assignme...

Do Not Listen

    Do not listen. Yes, they are somehow correct when they tell you things of now to improve yourself, indeed, they seemed right, you have managed to figure it out but do not listen. Listening in the form of changing yourself for what they see is right, no, do not do it. Do not listen if they only try to destroy the light which is inside you, the unique you instead, learn to weigh on what they say. Trust the lesson they implicitly try to show but do not change yourself because they see it as a deficient from you. You are enough.     Hey, I know that many times you are just wondering if the actions you just created are enough or almost to their expectations. You sometimes try to live in their views, opinions, and even the smallest suggestions. The funny thing is that unknowingly, they just little by little destroying that big and awesome dream you have in your heart. They also sometimes steal that burning passion and dedication you have as your identity and left you e...

A Letter from Now

  I am not a priority, I am neither an option, I am second-class, Perhaps, does not make a fuss. I am not a priority, So please do not look at me, Away from your eyes maybe, Shall I go with glee? I am not a priority, And no, do not bear with me, You do not need me, So please, keep away from me. I am not a priority, For now, perhaps, Sooner, you will chase me, You will become my tail for at least an eternity. With love, Now or present, for that is what you call me.

A Trance Maybe

As the sun gets brighter, As the sky becomes clearer, As the darkness bid goodbye, So my soul yearns and desires. As the rivers become pure, As the birds sing sweeter, There my spirit tries to wonder, That my eyes be amazed and wondered. Oh, how delightful life may be, How divine the world could be, And how I smile out of glee, Sometimes I think that might it be a dream, maybe? And now I awoke, Turning this head around, Wishing it somehow, But as I look in the mirror, it was all just a frown.

You Wish

 I know you are hurting, I know you are doubtful. I know you wish you were someone, I know you just wished. I know sometimes you act carelessly, I do not like it. I know sometimes you are only explaining, But you are shouting. You wish that you would somehow accept things, You also wish if only a time machine exists. You wish to change the past, You wish to achieve your dreams. You only wish things because you knew they will not come true, You only wish if it were good for you. You have not realized how good things were, You also have not realized the things of now. You are selfish, self-centered, and undesirable as they say, You have not opened your eyes to the people who loved you. People who only hope and desire good things for you, And they that always pray and bless you. God and your family who are always around you, You have just closed your heart, and then your mind. But here we are, always available for you, Please, I beg, do not wish right now for we know you.

Tired and Mundane

  Tired yet inspired, I am both. Tired yet inspired, How can it be? Struggling yet joyful, Breaking yet smiling. Hiding yet being bold, Well, I can be. Tired and uninspired. Being beautiful is tiring, Being ugly is devastating, Asking how, why, and when is burning. Too much blessing may it seem, Too much agony may it appear. But do you know what really hurts, It is dying yet living ...

Out of Nothing

Nature is beauty, Love, which is its society. Peace in its harmony, Joy as it can be. Nature is Someone's masterpiece, A splendor work of art. Forge out of nothing, Something irreplaceable. Nature, full of bounty, Created from the calmness. The waves of the seas, And the quietness of the mountains. Some say it just appeared, while others believed that forces maybe that way. But for me, as I know, Nature is the work of Someone greater. Someone who is real, Someone who risked just to save it,  And that includes you and me.

I Am Sorry

Did I not make you proud? I am sorry for that. Did I make you feel ashamed? I really am sorry. Did I only bring dishonor in your name? I am really sorry. Did I look stupid? My mistake, I am so sorry. Did I mistakenly disturb you? I am sorry. Did I do something horrible? I do not know what I am doing, I am so sorry. Look, I know it is all my fault, No, you did nothing wrong ... Alas, yes, my mistake, I am failing you again ... Look, I am really sorry.

God Knows

                    God knows I am tired, He knows I am full ... God knows everything, Surely, He knows I am fading ... God knows I am tired, He knows I am weak ... He knows my grief, I know somehow, somewhere ... God knows I am tired, He knows I wanted to leave ... He knows a thousand times, I even thought more than a hundred times ... God knows I am tired, He knows me very well ... He sees me cry, He knows, I wait ...      God knows I am tired, I do not desire to be away ... I know He cares, Thinking about it a thousand times ... God knows I am tired, I am still ... Lingering in waiting, I know that He knows ...

Change

You will soon be tired Not now, but soon you will.      You will somehow change ways         Because change is the only escape you have known ...  You will soon be tired,    Somehow, you will leave them. They'll hurt your feelings,    And then, you will change ...                                                                   You will soon be tired, Not now, but soon you will.  Like a boat, you will change your coarse,      A difficult decision you will eventually hold ... You will soon be tired, You will soon leave, You will be gone, And I will hold to that - dear, Because of me ... I am Change ... I understand ...

Fire

                    Rekindle of fire,     Flash forth, back, and fro,     Beginning 'till the end ... Feelings like fire, A thousand flashing from before,   At the start, until the last ...      Chains speak fire, Chained to the rhythm,   From beginning to the end,     The cycle repeats itself  again ...                                                                                                A blessing or curse is like a fire, Starting like a spark, And consuming everything it tasted, Like a tongue ...  Again ...                 ...

War

There is a war inside my head, Waring again and again, Until it reached its bitter fruits inside my heart, To who I really am ... A war that keeps on speaking, Speaking about me, Ugliness, sorrow, grief, envy, lies, So much more that I could ever bear ... Peace, I pray and desire, Do not know if they'll come, Though one thing I know, I am facing now This war will never end until I come down.                      

The Double-Faced People

     We have gone in different directions and roads to take. Somewhat a reason to be alright, or maybe to explore the world with our own unique point of view. It sometimes connotes the inner thoughts of the things we need to discover. Life may not be enough to see and know all things. And sometimes, a leap of faith is just what it takes to help us along the journey to ponder on.      We know a lot of double-faced people. They are amazing ambassadors of willingness, but having a bit of self-importance. They are quite amusing and admiring for the messages they portray yet, some convey understatements of their interests. These people became our beacon of successes and influenced us in many ways but, concealed some things in their personal lives.     They are even the closest person, perhaps that is what we discerned, on the planet. We put a label to express our inner connections to them sometimes. In such, those are making a social scene of admiratio...

Untimely Death

       There are times I feel very sad and depressed questioning life at its finest existence. Sometimes, I also inquire if am totally selfish or just expressing my own deep melancholy. But, in such a shame I never thought am only in the option of the two situations. I never realized that am present in both, who is trying to survive all the brokenness feeling inside.      It has been days since the time I knew that it was all wrong. The relationship was not toxic but only untimely. I needed to pick up the pieces of myself. I tried to do what is right and really hurting inside. I never wondered how this pain really crept into my soul. And never understand the depths it holds in me, while am attempting to figure out the things that I desire the most. The torture was bearable, but I felt unassured if am willing to continue seeing the bright side of the future and not knowing what it holds, or just be numb to never care at all.     The afflictio...

Back up Again

     Are you feeling drifting through the questions of your own self? Maybe, feeling tired of taking all the opportunities life has offered? Wandering through time and space and just wanting a perfect place in where you can start all the things you loved and enjoying the scenery of making the life of yours as perfect as possible with the audacity of showing it to everyone, eagerly desiring to show YOU, regardless of the eyes of the crowd's verdicts? But, in the reality, still cannot fit yourself in their own tastes and likes, ending up hearing words of "you should be like this", "act like this", "you are not good enough" and the most painful of all, "if only you were like him/her, ...". Those comparisons, unconstructive comments, unhealthy statements are really havoc to the extremities of your origin about the definition of your own self and undoubtedly makes you question the existence of your being, beginning to destroy all the notions and t...

The Reality of Opportunities

     "Opportunities only knocked once." It is the truth. Opportunity never wavers to those who will let it slip. It never gives any chance to those who will just take it for granted.     Opportunites always have their perfect ways to make the individual regrets the chance it just somehow let go. It sometimes plays a big role in the making of the individual. It somehow emphasizes the characteristics of the choices and the behaviour the individual chooses.        Opportunities really mirror in some way the capacity of the person in the aspect of choosing. Whether that particular person is really doing the best he got or just being ridden to the flow of life and does not care about where to go. Opportunities are powerful tools to make you see who that person may be.        In light of self-interest, the opportunity is the best of its reality. The opportunities whether good or bad is at stake do not matter, as long as the...
