The UNWANTED

I always ask my reflection

Why I was made with less perfection:

Their eyes were blue and mine was brown;

I have rugs while theirs were crown.

I am unwanted and abhorred by phantom's eyes

For not a royal blood inside me lies.

As they live in castles where there's luxury,

I am here sheltered in a home of agony.

I want to climb the walls in between ourselves

To feel the pleasure of what they have.

But I can not and so I fail,

I am still a prisoner of the unwanted's jail.

Behind the Mask

Put off the mask that hides
The truth behind those lies
For even if flower's fragrance bloom
They wither and turn fetid soon.


I hide my fear to run away
from the laughs of my peers...


I cry my tears to darkness
so no one will see my broken glasses...


I wear a happy face
to end my endless blue days...


I pretend from who I am not
to stay with other's hut...


I stand still inside my shelf
for others won't accept my true SELF...


Seize me for I was not real
Seize me for deceit I reveal
But... I can not live without my mask
For behold, I am weak
With my mask, I am with others at the peak.


Put off the mask that hides
The truth behind those lies
For even if flower's fragrance bloom
They wither and turn fetid soon.

Fields of Dreams

Let the young plow their fields:

Be planted and filled with seeds

For land may cost worthless

And die like a rotten flesh.

Empty the crops from the weeds

For failure may come to lead.

Take them away from the beasts

For danger may put them at risk.

Let them grow like the mountain high

For sunshine never says goodbye.

Afterward, come the time of harvest

To gather sweet fruits of great success.

To the Youth of Today

Turn over young people a new leaf,

For you made the road a narrow street.

Collide your dreams into one to lift

The sinking land of a thousand peers.

Bring back the youth of the early days,

Hope which made Jose Rizal to say

For we beset a different portrait today:
Now playing a burden in the place.

Wake up youth on your beds of vision

Sleep not the chance of innovations

Live free with bounded limitations

To grow for the welfare of the nation.
