These poems are compositions I wrote since high school. Mostly are from my own experience. To tell you something about myself, I treat poems and songs as vents to my pent up emotions. It may be extremely corny to you for you may think it's really funny how I do a melodramatic poem while in a heartbroken state, but rest assured that not only you think that, for I freak myself out sometimes. Especially at times when my cheeks are tear-streaked and I go on writing sulkily. Be amused, or laugh if you want... believe me, I've done my part in laughing at myself (Of course, only after I've gotten over the experience I'm writing about. Ain't that delusional yet). But whatever your initial reaction may be, feel free to browse within the boundaries of my personal creations. Criticize, compliment, do as you may. This is a part of my past... the foundation of who I am now. A window to who I was, before I became ME.

STRANDED



STRANDED

I've been okay for a while,
Recovered myself from all that bile,
Picked myself up from a dumped pile
Yes, I have been okay... for a while.

But why do I find myself breaking?
Why do I feel that my heart is hurting?
Why do I feel myself longing?
No, I cannot continue pretending.

I have freed myself from all the pain
But why am I caught again in your chain?
I guess I thought what I felt before was already slain
Only to find out that it has always been there, it remained.

I guess I didn't want to continue to live so numb
That's what I have been, I stopped my heart to throb.
I guess I opened up again though it cost a thousand sobs
I would hate it to be numb again... I would rather love.

So here I am again, as if in your leash,
Again hurting and aching, like freshly wounded knees.
Trying to continue fighting this all familiar anguish
All this 'cause I betrayed myself... for my love is unselfish.
