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.

MY OWN WORLD

MY OWN WORLD

In my place, I freeze time
I make up my own rules and my own crimes
I punish myself, then I apologize
I make my own sky, I make my own sun rise

In this place I dream a lot
I chase the rainbows, I hunt the treasure pot
I dive my own deep, mysterious sea
To find this beautiful pearl, wherever it may be

As I make this poem of my own place
You'd think it's pretty, so full of grace
But if you'd only look closer, you'd see through my eyes
That this place ain't pretty... not even nice

There may be wonders, there may be beauty
But it's one place only my eyes can see
For in this place, there's only me on my own
Yes. Look closer... I... am...
Alone.
