My Life in Words
An extension of the kwadernongbusabos@blogspot.com, tulangbusabos (poems of a child) is a compilation of poems I wrote since 2006. Most were written during summer and semestral breaks and non-busy days at the University of the Philippines Los Banos.

Detached
06 July 2007 / 10896 Catalan Compound, UPLB
I am sad…
In a months’ time, a friend would leave
Eight moths after which I’ll do the same
I just feel the need to detach
I want to let go of this ill feeling
I want to hold on to the happy ones
I want to live my life as I did before
That is just to go around and play
Can’t it be just like that?
Can’t things remain constant?
Can I just go back…
To the days when we just laugh?
Nothing’s constant!
Only water becomes stagnant…
We just have to accept the fact
Move away and do the act
I want to detach!
But is there a need to detach?
I want to be happy!
How can I…when I just want to flee?
Is everything that feels bad bad?
Is everything bad calls to be detached?
Is detachment the only way not to feel bad?
What am I supposed to then God?

Pause
05 July 2007 / 10896 Catalan Compound, UPLB
We’ve met
You never left
A fact you made me believe
That a morning waits after the eve
We’ve shared memories
We poured our bond with cement
Stuck together
I want to stay here forever
Fact is, cement wears out
One of us needs to move out
And our time here
Approaches its end which is my fear
Sibling you were to me
Together, we built a family
And now’s the time to say goodbye
I hate it when I have to cry
I’ll see you then my friends
And what we have will never end
Time for us will just take a pause
When we see each other again, we’ll know the cause

Mat!
03 July 2007 / 10896 Catalan Compound, UPLB
I knew of someone
Who chose to be unique
He was loved by everyone
With his funny antics
At times, he was crying
Many times, he was hurting
But it never seemed a burden
For us-his friends to be saddened
We’ll surely miss this guy
Oh, how sad it is to say goodbye
But for you to find your way
Is our hearts desire as we pray
The hope of seeing you someday
Remains as we part ways
Looking forward to that day
And to reminisce our silly ways
Sadness inevitably fills in
But happiness is what we want you to bring
To that place where you’ll set in
To that place where you’ll be springing
We love you Rowell
Bring with you the joy and laughter
You may leave us crying and in a shatter
For in our hearts, you’re someone that matters!

Extension
13 June 2007 / San Jose Occidental Mindoro
Vacation’s almost over
I’m about to leave
It’s time for me to be a sober
Can I just stay for one more eve?
It’s been boring yet fun
Stayed at home with a tv and a fan
With my family, I laughed
To their grievances I listened
My time here was worth the while
But I just can’t get enough
The memories I’ll take with me are treasures
I just need to take one more gold and have an EXTE NSION!

Uninspired
04 June 2007 / San Jose Occidental Mindoro
I’m blank
‘wish I can go back
Can’t cry
‘wish I had the courage to fly
‘feels so sad
Can’t I just bring these in my bag?
‘feels so numb
Why can’t I let go of the things I have?
It’s complicated
Things are the way they are-says my head
I’m depressed
You should have done more-my heart pressed
I need a friend
Someone I can talk with to ease the pain
I need to move on
And flow like a free spirit to the moon

Coagulates
01 June 2007 / San Jose Occidental Mindoro
Can’t a day last without hatred?
When will I be feared?
And earn respect from them…
Who makes my life so unsolemn
They are so stupid!
Why do I have to meet such?
I can’t remember when our roads crossed
If only I could get back and be my destiny’s own boss
They say everything has a purpose
But its their existence which I can find no reason
They make it difficult for me
Is it that hard to see?
