I might wander to other places
Might want to explore new things
My friends might even change
And so is my style or taste
I might never be the same person
I was a year ago
But one thing is for sure tho
I will always come back home

Poetry is my *****
Deep words get me high
Writing so quenches my thirst,
I'd **** for any rhyme

Hi, this is something i've never done before cause i've always been antisocial but to anyone reading this, wether you're 8, 16, or 56, I want to be friends with you. So anyone wanna talk to me? I'm boring but I can answer your questions. Plus, my friends think i'm funny so yeah :D


Ps. Anybody here who want to add me on fb?

They all like her, not me.
But it's okay,
Cause I may not be a saint
But at least I play it real.

Hindi ko malaman kung anong dahilan
At ngayon ay nagsimula akong malibang
Sa taong dati ay halos kamuhian

Everyday she walks alone
Keeping her head bowed down
But she knows she's a princess
With an imaginary crown

One day she met a boy
She thought whom was the one
Made her promises of forever
Asked for everything but none

But colors fade away
So did her perfect guy
He found someone 'better'
Left without any 'goodbye'

Now her heart was broken
She walks alone again
Left with nothing but memories
Of a boy she loved back then.

He likes pretty girls
And I don't quite fit

People**
No matter how much you try to show them
Would only see the things they prefer to see

Dandelions in blossom,
Grandma's garden in full bloom,
My apple tree has its leaves again,
Air filled with flowery scent.
Cats and kittens licking each other
Ready to catch its prey
The neighbor's dog barking
Wanting to go out and play
Children playing, swimming, biking,
Children everwhere.
Of course they're joyful,
Who isn't anyway,
When the season turns into spring.

I am the captain of my ship
No other scallywags can tell me
When to port or to sail
Just like in love

No matter how much I try to paint my life
And decorate my own soul
At the end of the day
I always, always,
Feel grey and cold.

I'm pretty sure
I will pass through Earth
As just another lonely girl
Unwanted and unloved
But still thriving

I'm sorry you have to feel this way
I'm sorry if I can't do anything
I'm sorry if this will be just another poem
I'm sorry if your life had been just a sad song

You left me in pieces
Never looked back
You never told me why
And treated me so bad
While I gave you all my love
All you cause me is a broken heart

So now i'll forget you
Try to stop thinking of you
What my heart won't allow
My mind can do
I'll have to cease saying "I love you"

But
If you knew how much
I've hurt
will you come back?
Those tears I've shed
All of these *****
Cause you know I want and I will
But you're not there
And life will never be the same again

Dear future husband,
I wanna meet you soon.
I'm gonna love you back
Way, way up to the moon.
Everyday i'll cook you food,
Even though i'm not sure how to.
And on our wedding night,
I'm gonna show this poem to you.

Someday when I find myself a nameless grave
And people forget that I ever lived
I will be consoled by the singing of the wind and the rain's merciless tears
For soon after these lovely bones are ashes
And ashes were scattered and blown
Flowers shall once again decorate
This lonely earth that once had been my own.

I know you're tired and you want to put it to rest
But this can't be the end of it
Remember all those things you'd always dreamed you'd have?
All these famous guys you made yourself believe you're destined to marry,
Those places you'd excitedly mapped out in your head,
That plan you had, that once you're free you'd roam the world
Please
I know it's hard
And the future seems more vague than ever
But please try to endure
Please, even just a little more

She was always too smart, too afraid, too strong
Too cautious to fall in love
Too perfect to get hurt

Always on guard
Always in charge of her heart
Eyes always open wide

But behind this fort that
She's learned to build around herself
She's as vulnerable as a child
Who can't afford to cry

Just know when to hold on
when to quit,
and when to move on,
and you'll be fine.

I haven't cried in a while
Hannah
Why did I see your face again
Hannah
Your beautiful smile
And cheerful attitude
Despite what your going through
How can you do it Hannah?
You inspire me
Hannah
You were so strong,resilient, beautiful
Hannah
I never knew you more
You don't even know my name
Though I'm sure of one thing
God loves you more than all of the living

Cannot forget the day, January 19th,
Can still recall the pain,
Everything I dealt with,
But when I saw you smile I just melted
I love you so much my son,
You are my greatest wealth.

Four years passed and you're growing up
To be a great man,
Oh just like your Pop.
Though sometimes I just wanted
To hold you in my lap,
And whisper words like
"Honey, never grow up".

Another four years
And maybe you'll forget about this
Cake eaten, balloons popped, opened unwanted gifts,
No matter, I will always remind you this:
"I love you Hari"
And say it with a kiss.

All alone again tonight
In my head screaming
"I hate my life"
Don't know how long
can I hold on
Or will I just
start moving on?
Been screaming for help
But nobody tried
Tell me how.
Am I supposed win this fight?

Loneliness
I presumed
Is being friendless and alone
But now I realized
It is something more

Loneliness
Is laughing with friends
Yet still feeling numb

Loneliness
Is being surrounded with all the ones
You know who loves you
Yet still feeling so alone

Loneliness
Is getting that one thing you've always wanted
Yet at the end of the day you still feel empty

Loneliness
Does not come at 3AM
When everybody else
Is either asleep or dead

Loneliness sometimes
Surges at the brightest of your days
And pours down like rain

I'm sorry for the lonely,
I'm sorry for the mad.
I'm sorry for the poor,
For the things they ever want.

I'm sorry for the hungry,
I'm sorry for the bad.
I'm sorry for the rich,
Never contented of what they had.

I'm sorry for the fool,
I'm sorry for that lad,
For that girl who trusted him
For his gift of broken heart

I'm sorry for the world.
I'm sorry for those blood,
I'm sorry for these sins,
Oh please forgive me God.

Behind that cheerful smile
hides a very sad girl.

They don't realize i'm not fine.
That I hate myself and I want to die
They only see the child they used to know
Without realizing i'm now completely a different person.

Counting down the days after that day
You said goodbye and walk away
If only I knew that it would hurt me so
I never ever should have let you go

Tracing back the steps up to your door
Where we'd lie awake up until four
We'd fight in your car and then make up again
Now my heart is torn, refusing to mend

I remember that day you played your guitar
Those nights we'd wish upon a star
Praying that this would never end
Now we aren't even friends

We were so many things, so many places
So many dreams, waterfalls of kisses
If only I knew it would be this way
I never should have left that day


©Leigh Herondale  *September 2015

I'm just a mushy young adult
Who refuse to leave behind
The ease and fun of being a child.

you left me so unexpectedly
didn't even give me a sign
why didn't you make me understand that
that time I held you close in my hand
was the last, EVER, that you'll be mine?

So there, the two of us were, holding hands
You were the expert, teaching me how to dance
Both utterly oblivious that
Tho you were training my feet
It's my heart that learned how to properly beat.


Translated from: "Ang Huling El *****" by Parokya ni Edgar (chorus part)
Translated by: Jaina Marie Alexis

Last night
I told God
That I don't want it anymore
I gave Him permission
To take me away for good
But he didn't
And now I don't know
What to do with my life.

Be very careful in choosing your friends
They’re not always as they seem
Some would stand by you even in the desert storm
Some would sell your soul for thirty silver coins

I want to write and inspire the world,
My words carved in their mind
As they soar their wings and fly.
I want to be an instrument
Softly playing all the goodness of the Earth
And a reminder
That broken wings can be mended and fly again
