Never boasted
Always looking
Up to thy creator
His power
Self reliance
Believing he can do anything humanly possible.
Never chased clout
Steady Self reliance
Believing in hard work
Consistence in all he does
Some people's love
Comes with intentions
So; he's steadily relying on self
Without pretence or defence
No alliance
Just self reliance
Only God his supplier or helper.
Since I am not a Premium Member,
not by design but through circumstance
(I’d gladly convert from nonmember
if only I had better finance),
I lack that feature that would allow
myself to make some notes and declare
That my poems are entirely made
sans the aid of any AI ware.
Permit me then to affirm it here
on pain of death or, worse, your disdain
My verses are humanly written
as are all the pathos they contain.

Baguio City, Philippines
I wanna be a human now,
Not just a mere puppet, somehow.
I can't force myself to smile,
Even if it makes you happy for a while.
I'm tired of absorbing everything,
I can't be strong every single day, anything.
I want to rest, mentally and emotionally too,
To recharge myself, start anew.
The next time you see me, I won't be in love,
I won't fight for you anymore, like a dove.
This battle between us is over, done,
I'm tired and worn out, I've lost, you've won.
I surrender, I give up the fight,
I want just peace of mind, it's my right.
No more pretending, no more tears,
No more hiding my fears.
I wanna be a human, just like you,
With emotions, dreams, and flaws too.
I wanna live my life, be happy and free,
Without any more battles, that's my plea.
Fireworks dance and flourish in the air
Like the pairs of lovers in the innocent sky
The nostalgic tune plays from the flute
Like the tormented smile of the little brave girl
When happiness and jolliness echos through town
When suddenly they vanish into vacuum in a BANG
Missing like the name of the little brave girl
What will the eagles do behind their wings?
Shirking from the absence of familiar tone
Reinviting the lover's dance to the night
Closing their eyes to sink into the tune
The eagles pack up their bags and leave
Departs their home and leave the present
Leaving that girl with a broken smile
When all the fests drown in the water
The audience shall open their ears in the silence
When all light extinguishes into thin air
The watchers shall open their eyes in the dark
Sacrificing the impossibles in our dream
The pairs of lovers in the innocent sky
The brave little girl with a tormented smile
It is the most humanly sacrifice one could make
We dance to the tune of man
See fear in the palms of our hands
Hold the candle as steady as we can
Move forward with our lives
Hear reasons, witness lies
The belly of the beast we feed
Power, wealth, tyranny and greed.
Grains of sand on a beach we are
Waves can come so near from so far
Do we see that life is not what it seems?
Our minds compensate with our dreams
Innocence dies at the foot of the stair
The climb gets harder as we bear
Crushing blows to the core of our souls
Life is seen through different eyes as we grow
The realities of life are so humanly cold
Perhaps the story of man should never have been told.
