of not having anything<br />
and just being no one</p>
<p>scarred<br />
broken<br />
livid<br />
disillusioned</p>
<p>she once was whole<br />
you tore her apart</p>
<p>she had dreams<br />
wide and far<br />
yet you let fear in<br />
made doubts your comfort</p>
<p>she was shattered<br />
she cried out<br />
you lent not a single hand<br />
the shattered pieces<br />
you crushed them to dust</p>
<p>you were then young<br />
vulnerable<br />
but you grew up</p>
<p>she was happy<br />
thinking that you&#8217;ve grown wise<br />
that you&#8217;ll decide<br />
to break out of the shell you&#8217;ve created</p>
<p>but you nurtured your shell more<br />
became hardened and impenetrable<br />
but she stood ground<br />
patiently waiting for you to realize<br />
that you&#8217;re worth is far greater<br />
than you set yourself to be</p>
<p>it&#8217;s time<br />
she said<br />
to look at a mirror<br />
see yourself<br />
and look at what you&#8217;ve become</p>
<p>tired<br />
lost<br />
confused</p>
<p>as you look at the piece of glass<br />
she looks back at you<br />
she.. your own pained soul<br />
tries one last time to reach out</p>
<p>telling you to break your shell<br />
start anew<br />
to take the so called<br />
road less travelled<br />
and if all roads are blocked and unpassable<br />
make a new road of your own<br />
a way for you and for others too</p>
<p>you then raise your fist<br />
hit the glass<br />
felt the pain<br />
your hand is bleeding<br />
it hurts<br />
but you know<br />
that she is hurting more</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Running around</strong></em></p>
<p>Playing tag</p>
<p>I jumped</p>
<p>landed</p>
<p>and suddenly tripped</p>
<p>Skinned my knee</p>
<p>Broken my ankle</p>
<p>A person in front of me</p>
<p>Pointed a finger</p>
<p>at my already stricken face</p>
<p>and laughed</p>
<p>How foolish of me</p>
<p>Tried not to break,</p>
<p>swore to get right back</p>
<li><em><strong>Running again</strong></em>
<p>playing pranks at the other</p>
<p>Climbing up the steps</p>
<p>skipping down</p>
<p>A test of strength and speed</p>
<p>climbing up</p>
<p>and down</p>
<p>up and down</p>
<p>up and&#8230;</p>
<p>falling down</p>
<p>thug. thug. thug.</p>
<p>went his butt</p>
<p>on cement stairs</p>
<p>all the way down</p>
<p>pride bruised</p>
<p>backside sore</p>
<p>clenching his teeth</p>
<p>hiding the pain</p>
<p>how clumsy of him</p>
<p>Pointing at his pained face</p>
<p>i laughed</p>
<p>He got up</p>
<p>ran after me</p>
<p>and swore his own vengeance</p>
<p><em><strong>At tails end</strong></em></p>
<p>a pact of loyalty</p>
<p>a smile of amity</p>
<p>begets one of the basic entities</p>
<p>someone to point at</p>
<p>and laugh with</p>
<p>an ally, a comrade</p>
<p>a partner in all chid crimes</p>
<p>friends</p>
<p>putting it simply <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>*****PSs*********<br />
reminscing those days where we once were children<br />
never cared much for anything but games and play<br />
or little bickering with neighbor playmates<br />
(and sometimes with adult participation when the need arises..<br />
<em>ahhahaa&#8230;mao ning mki.join na ang mga inahan/tigbantay sa mga binata nga away</em>)<br />
and creating friendships in the most odd circumstances..<br />
ahhaa..those were really good times&#8230; <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>on a rather serious note..<br />
hahay..<br />
let&#8217;s not forget those times<br />
when it was so easy to forgive a playmate,<br />
whether we know them or not<br />
let&#8217;s be the child we once were<br />
when dealing with how others have wronged us..<br />
and so we can just live the life<br />
laugh all we want<br />
and make the best of days everyday!!!!</p>
<p>celebrating life!!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Opened arms<br />
Awakend hearts<br />
Freed mind<br />
Bared soul</p>
<p>Blessings from Thee<br />
We claim<br />
As ours<br />
For family<br />
   For friends<br />
Even for strangers<br />
   More so for enemies</p>
<p>The best of the land<br />
Unnoticed<br />
Waiting<br />
To be taken<br />
To be cared for</p>
<p>Here we are<br />
We kneel<br />
Seeking penance<br />
Awaiting grace</p>
<p>Him,<br />
the One among our midst<br />
Looks at us<br />
Sets the plan<br />
Decides the time<br />
Selects the fruits<br />
Delivers on cue</p>
<p>We receive<br />
Bow and give thee thanks<br />
A promise to nurture<br />
Multiplying the gift an nth fold</p>
<p>Smile<br />
Look ahead<br />
Continue the journey<br />
with Him<br />
and be blessed</p>
<p>you and me</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>======================================<br />
in fairness, g.pressure ko pghimu ani..hala cge go..<br />
here it is.. i may or may not revise this..<br />
there are still lots of lined-up installments for this one.. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
======================================</p>
<p><em>There i was&#8230;.<br />
Still, here i am&#8230;</em></p>
<p>in a strategic location<br />
where i alone can watch him pass by<br />
and seeing him just once a day is enough</p>
<p>if this is a basketball game,<br />
he earns points everytime he passes by<br />
i catch him sometimes looking my way<br />
oh, how i wish that he was really looking for me<br />
and only me</p>
<p>but the irony of things!<br />
when he&#8217;s near,<br />
i run away<br />
he looks at me,<br />
i look away<br />
he &#8220;tries&#8221; talks to me<br />
and i &#8220;try&#8221; not to blush<br />
and make a fool out of myself&#8230;.</p>
<p>he keeps me from being late<br />
for i wake up early just to be the first one to see him<br />
am i really nuts? hahaha<br />
i don&#8217;t want him to know i like him<br />
i still have my sense of propriety and traditionality in a way</p>
<p>i thought i will be content by the sidelines<br />
or am i really?<br />
but everytime he passes by<br />
my yearning for him just grows stronger</p>
<p>yearning to know him better<br />
so that i can tell myself if all the time and feelings i have invested are valid<br />
that i am feeling all of these for a reason<br />
that i endulge myself in little treats like glimpses of him<br />
that i am hoping that i will be his someone special someday..</p>
<p>i can&#8217;t believe myself!<br />
this is not me..<br />
it was just a simple encounter<br />
yet it amounted to this&#8230;.</p>
<p>crazy<br />
unexplainable<br />
but it feels so good and right</p>
<p><strong><em>&#8230; as of the moment&#8230;</em></strong></p>
