Matter Most

I'm a real Filipino 
but something change on me 
The unique color of my skin 
That every foreign aim 
Was getting darker 
I'm a real girl 
but my body look not 
My body got a muscle 
In picking heavy things 
Just to have money for foods 
This changes of my body 
Cause of my work 
Under the heat of the sun 
Just to have strength 
Tomorrow to survive 
Whatever changes I have 
Didn't matter to me 
What important now 
I can eat everyday 
To face the coming day.

Flying Without Wings

Flying without Wings 
I'm not one of the lucky person 
Who was born with a golden spoon in the mouth 
And look up by people like a star 
Because I grow up in a place of rugs 
But I never questions God 

If some poeple who live the way I live 
Believed we born with this fate 
And we can't do anything but to accept 
But my mind don't want to agree 
Because it believe I am the captain of my ship 

So I take a breath 
And look up in the sky 
Telling myself someday I will shine 
Maybe not like a star 
But I could be a fire fly 

I start flapping my wings 
So I could start aiming my dream 
and just like a baby 
Who just learn to walk 
I fail and stumble 

But the courage I have in my heart 
Makes me strong to get up again 
Determine to try and try 
Until I can spread my wings 
To fly up high

Love Bloom In the Station Bus

It's 6:30 in the morning 
I am standing in the station bus 
Waiting for a bus way to my work 
When the rain start to drop 
So the umbrella I always bring 
To protect me in cases like this 
I get in inside my bag 
But what got my eyes 
Is not the rain that start to wet the road 
But the man who just stand beside me 
He look at me,smile while he ask me 
If I could share the umbrella with him 
And how can I say no 
When his simple look and smile 
Make my heart beats faster 
And the strong wall I build for years 
To protect my heart from loving 
Due to the obligation I have in my shoulder 
Is now breaking 
Does the wall I made 
Is not Strong enough 
To protect my heart 
Because I feel now 
The wall started to collapse 
Due to the strong beats of my heart? 
Or is it true that falling in love 
Just come and feel it without a warning 
Nor No walls could protect it 
When it start to beat for love? 
Then if it is true 
I still need to guard my heart 
From the deepest pain 
Love might cause.

No One Knows

My family and friend look at me 
As a happy woman 
but they don't know 
In the deepest part of me 
Lies the pain of life 

They don't know 
That every smile and laugh 
Is agony deep here in my heart 
Every comfort that I give 
Is a trouble here in my heart 

Many says I have no problems 
but they don't know 
Here in my shoulders 
I carry the heavy obligations 
Of being a breadwinner 

Many says I am innocent 
But they don't know 
Deep here in my heart I learn a lot 
To fight the hardship of life 
Just to survive 

Many says I am simple 
But they don't know 
I have a lot of dream 
To free myself from the obligation 
I carried long time ago 

No one knows 
That I want to go home 
Tell my mother about my problems 
And let her comfort me 
Every time I fall 

No one knows 
That in a small room I'm renting 
When I'm lying there at night 
And no one is around 
Tears keep falling in my eyes

Unseen Pain

If a jungle have a lion as a king 
An ocean have a shark as the killer whale 
A soldier have a general as their command officer 
The Country have the President as a leader 
My family have our father as our head 
His words echo like a roar of a tiger 
In every move we made and mistake is happen 
Punishment is alwas waiting 
The beat that he give,scars is made 
But what make it worst 
Is not the scars seen in the skin 
But the unseen scars in our heart 
Whatever wound he causes us 
He is still the man of the house 
The man who give us food and clothes 
And the precious gift of life 
and nothing can change that.

What Really Love Is?

Some across the ocean,climbed the mountains 
Laydown their life for their friend and love 
Because they said they love.. 
I ask myself I ever feel love? 
Because only thing I do 
Is to give my hug if they are cold 
To give my shoulder when they cry 
To listen when they are in pain 
Im wondering what really love is all about 
I can't across the ocean 
I don't have money to pay for fare 
I can't even swim 
And I couldn't climb the mountains 
I'm week and mountains is high 
I can't laydown my life for them... 
I have still a lot of dream, 
I'm afraid to do such thing 
But i'm sure what is in my heart and mind 
I want my friend and love to be happy 
Even they are not around me,so...do I love?

Unborn Baby

My eyes is open but I can't see anything 
I try to extend my hands to touch 
But I don't have yet a hands 
All I do is wait for the time to come 
To know where I am and who I am 
Then one time just come,I hear a sound 
"Congratulations,you have a healthy baby isnide your womb" 
My heart beat faster hearing those words 
And if this woman feel me with her hands she will know how excited I am 
But mama...Why did you drink 
Something that makes me sick? 
Didn'nt the doctor tell you its bad? 
For the baby breathing inside your stomach, 
Mama, I really want to understand you for what you do 
But your heart telling me, not too 
Because showing me in your world 
Is not really what your heart and mind want. 
Now my eyes dont have anymore a chance to see 
Because its now closing as my breath is slowly takin 
Without showing me the place 
Where everyone else stay.

Because of Love

My little girl is crying today 
Telling me "Mama,Papa hurt me 
Pointing the thing between her thigh 
"After he give me a candy" 
But all I can do is to cry and hug her 
After hearing her agony 
For the reason I love her dad 

My little girl is now a woman 
But there she is still crying 
While telling me again and again 
"He touch me again Mama" 
"And will keep on touching me" 
As her mother,I should protect her 
But I fail for the reason I still love her dad 

My little girl is now a mother 
And she is still crying 
But this time with a smile and pride 
While telling me this words 
"He can touch me as often as he want" 
"But he can never touch my child" 
Then a sound of a riffle that kill my love.

A Home I Can Call My Own

My Papa died before mama born me 
And mama leave me before I could see 
In the dweeling house of the faithful. 
The people give me everything 
Nourinshing my soul by teaching me 
But I feel something is missing 
In my heart,emptiness is there 
And seeking for it is the only answer 
So I leave the place,which they call my"home" 
With the pormise in my heart 
I will keep the memories of this place 
And the only hope that I have 
Is the picture of a woman in my hand 
I didn't know the world where I stay 
Is different from the world I am walkin in 
But with my courage and faith 
I will walk this path of hardness 
Even though I will be one of the people 
Sleep in the street,felling cold and hanger 
I will carry all just for the woman in the picture 
God hear my agony during the lonely nights 
So He lead me to the house 
Where this woman in the picture stay 
I'm very happy and excited,I knock on the door 
the old woman in uniform open the door 
Ask me who I want and what I want 
So I tell her the reason and show her the picture 
And this is the woman  say: 
"Your mother come back after she elope 
With the gardener of this house,she love most 
And your gandfather accept her 
With the condition follow his order 
And that is to forget she have a daughter 
Because having you in this house is a big scandal 
For the family belong to the royal blood 
But your mother love you so much 
She tried to escape from the guard 
To look for you in the place where she left you 
But she fall in the window and died 
To avoid the guards watching her all the time 
And like the old saying"sorry always come last" 
Your grandfather died because of too much pain in the heart 
Blaming himself for the death of your mother 
But before he died he look for you 
Hoping that seeing you will ease the pain he felt 
But your grandpa didn't got a chance 
Because like your mother, he die " 
My tears dropping after hearing what she say 
Knowing I have no chance to say"mama" 
And the cemetery is the only place 
Where I could see her 
And the first word "Hi" I want to say when I see her 
Will be the start of saying good bye. 
I left the place where everyone love and care for me 
To look for the woman who give birth of me 
Hoping with her we could start a home 
A home that I can call really my own.

Wrong Steps

Sweats flow over my face 
My body shudder,my heart beats faster 
As I breath expeditious, 
But I can't stop from running 
Behind me,Two men in uniform 
Keep running after me, 
Until I heard a "Bang" 
That make me shrink. 
When I wake up 
Darkness met my eyes 
The heat I feel 
Seems I'm in hell 
I heard a laugh and a welcome 
To a man look like Satan 
He says he like people 
who killed out of money 
Just like what I deed, 
I thought,I'm just dreaming 
But down there,I saw my dead body lying.
