And the Phoenix begins to Write.

I know, I'm not stuck. I'm currently in the flow. Should I fight the flow? Where should I go? What should I do? This flow... is it good?

There's a lot of uncertain today and yet so many feelings. I think I understand now, the feeling of living but dying not of the sickness of this world but the sickness of this society. I still believe in goodness of everyone because there is You.

There will be no 'buts' tonight. Though, I can't promise there will be none for tomorrow.

A Could Be Prayer.

It is devastating to watch the news, listen to the reporters and to just observe of what is happening to our surroundings knowing that there are some people who does not know how to respect just because he or she is an aristocrat or they are in good standard of society / high class people. I'm not saying that all the nobles are, just SOME. I do hope we learn to respect each other and not to criticize our own. Respect and understanding of one another are one of the keys to have a peace.

If my thoughts could drown me, I’ve already touch the bottom of the deepest lake.

It's funny how the lands separate us all How the ocean connects different people It's a crazy world we live in Knowing that we look at the same sky Wishes on the same stars And yet, divided by our own desires Now a kid sacrifices The dream that will never transpire. Photo (c) My Love.

Sunrise means a new beginning. Everyday is a new beginning. Make the most out of it. Live life. ‘Carpe Diem.’

The sun seems to love the ocean dearly For everyday it tries to warm it tenderly And the warmth sacrifices to hold the ice We see it as the night becomes a solitaire Alone we would be like the sun. (A throwback 2017) Roxas Blvd. Manila, Philippines.

We were once lost into the woods Though, uncertain of our steps The breeze whispers… The direction that seems bizarre Is now visible somewhere.

Goodbyes On Life

I like to think of ways to die

I am also afraid to test each of them

You see, I'm not scared to death

What I fear is dying without living

All my life, I've been dead but breathing

More days of surviving than growing

Everyday the anxiety is lingering

Somehow it makes me calm;

The word Goodbye

But it scares me to finally die

Without living the Life

- A Short Poem 1: July 30th of 2018

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."

"There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living."

It's funny because the thing I am good at, is also the thing I am afraid of; to be Alone.

I open my eyes and I saw darkness Then I realised, It wasn’t the eyes that were opened But my mind My thoughts were bewildered in the dark And when I can finally see, I saw a light It was dark at first;

Then comes the light.

When I was depressed, I was torn on lacking of sleep and having too much sleep. I lacked of sleep because of the things inside my head. There were too much thougths I wished I could end. Peculiarly, I also slept too much. When I woke up, I chose to go back to the place where no one can see me instead of facing my reality. Reality sucks. I didn't want to face it even though I was having lots of nightmares. I chose that than the real place because my reality was the biggest, darkest, merciless nightmare I have ever been.
