Dear Young One,
How are you?
Isn’t it been a long time?
But you do not know how much I miss you
I became so engrossed in the world
I’ve forgotten the life we had
Remembering those moments makes me smile
It was fun while it lasted
Things may not turn out as we had hoped
But we've come a long way
Thank you for your presence, then and now
You will always have a special place in my heart
Still you and me until the end
From where we are now,
ET
that you do not define yourself.
because it unfolds.
is something you create, discover, and
rediscover beneath and beyond yourself.
forgiving yourself and the changes
is a constant battle.
Katotohanan
Biglang napapahinto at natutulala
Kinukwestyon ang sarili at presensya
Katahimikan ang bumabalot sa kapaligiran
Bakit hindi pa rin matahimik ang isipan
Nalilito at nangangamba
Nadarama ay hindi mailahad
Ano na nga ba ang realidad
Ang hirap na makita
Totoo ba ang lahat
Talaga bang nandirito
Panaginip lang ata ito
Pilit naghahanap ng sagot
Pero malamig na hangin ang gigising
Pahiwatig na siya ay kapiling
Siya ang paalala at patutunguhan
Siya na tanging kasagutan at katotohanan
Liham Ni Eba
Ako ang daan, ang katotohanan,at ang buhay.
Kamusta?
Araw-araw ay puno ng itim na ulap
At ang pakiramdam ay sumisikip
Pasikip nang pasikip
Pahirap nang pahirap
Umiiyak nang bigla
Hanggang wala nang mailuha
Umabot sa blangkong emosyon
Hindi mawari ang tensyon
Sa tuwing aahon ay hindi pa natatapos
Kailan ba ang katapusan nitong agos
Kasi nakakapagod na
Sobrang pagod na
Puno ng mga ano at bakit
Pero heto at kumakapit
Sumusubok at umaasa
Sakit ay iniinda
Siya pa ring tatanggapin
Sarili ay muli't muling iintindihin
Papaniwalaan ang lahat
Pilit magiging sapat
Liham Ni Eba
