Do you ever feel like you’ve lost who you are
misjudged others by oh so far
gaining perspective becomes so hard
thinking you’re someone to disregard
Growing up you fell out with your friends
at school unliked no one to depend
no one close there to the end
though not hated drove them round bends
And you start to see yourself an outcast
games where they pick teams you came last
now lonely days go by fast
becoming a lost soul in cast
When you’ve no one to turn to
and can’t start new
When you’ve no one concerned for you
What do you do
I’m lost I’m confused I really need you
whoever you are please come through
I’ve considerately looked out for a few
I’ve lost it all now though what do I do
It dawned on me I’m often rejected
From young to now like an infection
haunted as though natural selection
dumb lowbrow knows only ejection
I wonder what they thought of me
2 faced friendships forge on me
I wonder why they thought of me
a face too hit unfortunately.
This mountain of doubt pulls down in me
take a chance avalanche
climb the tree break a branch
with every missed advantage
I gain baggage and a bandage
man up stand tall but I’m minuscule
Crawling through cruelty
caught up failing faulty
I’ve lost my way I can’t see before me,
Just one to come and care for me
like I cared so unselfishly
support by standing there with me
save me with your company
Save me please just come for me
Save me please would somebody
Again,the solitary way home,o night!
Twice paying the fare,the driver denied..
No steel wall in sight,
Is there any other way to ride
But to turn around and trace the track?
The heart knows it all,
The heart knows he cannot come back,
Always a last trip for a soul..
Then,perhaps,pose a smile,go on
Everything is a killing game
Is there such thing as reason,
When all will fall and end the same?
I'm asking you now,.now..
You can always find me in midnights,
Languishing,lingering,asking how
Could such has all the rights.
It's me,it's me,it's me!
In my own eternity..
*Topak is a Filipino slang word which means tantrum, loose screw, crazy.
Form:
In the orchestrated heart of the American nation,
Underground rivers of dysfunction flow,
Tired forests and the cement sky of silence,
Where dancing illusions transform into infinite spirals,
And beings kneel under the weight of the world's expectations.
Time races through the unseen bell towers, under the shadows of official lies,
Like ghosts of forgotten truth, knocking at the gates of lost dignity,
In a quiet square where the Faustian bargain is written in falling stars,
Under the sign of a wandering destiny, navigating through the seas of toxic inequalities.
There, in the depths of the polished machinery, a dysfunction smolders,
Like a dormant beast in the eternal noise of unawareness,
And in the marrow of each power-serving edifice, echoes of a broken system
Resonate through corridors emptied of dreams and hopes.
The mask of liberal democracy, splendid and shining on the outside,
Melts under the sharp gaze of relentless truth,
A cunning game of deceptive mirrors, projecting ordinary illusions,
In a world dominated by illiberal oligarchic constraints.
The classical economy, once alive and organic, now falls prey to demise,
Crushed under the claws of a hyper-financed corporate hybrid,
Sapping the lifeblood from economic vines to dryness,
Like shadows in a graveyard filled with dying businesses, devoid of brilliance.
In the snares of this inverted world, where truth is covered like a lost treasure,
Seekers of light float in an ocean of mundane blindness,
And the voices of the downtrodden dissolve into the wind, lost in boundless silence,
As the entire land trembles under the weight of inequalities.
And amidst all this, a solitary dreamer rises on the peaks of his soul,
Gathering the remnants of a fallen paradise, searching for a hidden golden sky,
Writing in the infinite silence, words to break the shackles of perpetuity,
Like a burning banner in the wind, in the great twilight of the world.
There, in those moments of the stream of consciousness, truth reveals itself as a sacred symbol,
Wearing the mantle of liberty among the edges of a collapsing civilization,
And disappears into the light of a new dawn, a shiver of hope in the eternal night,
For those who will find the way, towards a renewed and just world.
Crushed, crippled, torn and shredded
No longer knowing where life is headed
Ripped apart with a heart of stone
Not used to feeling so alone
Fake it to make it, put on an act
Try to make up for what the relationship lacked
Without them then I’m nothing, dead, gone
No longer able to see the sun that shone
The blackness is massive and all consuming
The craved end, the release, death is looming
Long to get out, to escape, to desist
To float my soul on a thickening mist
My family and friends, the people I know
Didn’t realise because my feelings don’t show
The people that care, didn’t matter to me
Because my hurt and my heartbreak was all I could see
A glimmer, a glint, a pinpoint of light
But I choose not to let it be in my sight
Determined to wallow, to let myself die
To finish my days having cried myself dry
The light is persistent and continues to grow
A friend with a torch or family with glow?
I look through a window and see the day break
And feel all the emotion beginning to wake
I keep the light dimmed, keep it at bay
But I don’t really want to go right away
Maybe if I focus and keep it near
It might contain voices that I try to hear
To tell me there’s something that’s worth fighting for
That this isn’t the end, that they promise there’s more
I’m not ready yet for those voices to shout
But at least I know when I am, they’ll come out
Because those voices care about me every day
And to sit by the side and wait is their way
For when I am ready and I know I can call
And there’ll be there to catch me as I know I will fall
So for now I will hurt and give myself time
Because the choice to recover is only mine
But when I do, as I know that I must
Those voices are ones that I know I can trust.

She said you’re such an incredible person, and I thought to myself but not for you?
She said you’re everything I wanted and I thought, well except the one thing we needed
Visualizing the man, you deserve and desiring I could be that man
I wish I could explore your mind and pick out all your insecurities
She doesn’t want her heart to break because it already has too many cracks
She has heard it all before so she doubts when she hears the truth
Thoughts tossing and turning in her mind, all she can think about is the thought after the next
Thinking love is forever but she questions how long forever is
Asking will you love me tomorrow
So I respond I will love you to Pluto and back while telling you how beautiful you are each day because I know you deserve that and more
She is a queen but often forgets about the crown on her head
Second guessing my intentions because of the intentions of another man
So I am patient because love is patient until the end
She cries saying I don’t deserve you and tells me you’d be perfect for another girl
I guess the definition of perfect has changed because I keep falling short, wondering who will pick me up again
Who will be the girl to actually mean what she says when she recites “I’d never hurt you.”
When will it cease, I keep hearing thank you for being the best as I watch her walk away
Pushed behind another guy and to the side of your brain because everything came across as too good to be true
A gentleman is what she wanted but had never met so when he came along he was rejected because he was perceived as a scam
And when he left she realized her mistake
But by then it was too late and this was her after thought
p.s. good guy losing because the bad guy cheated…
Listen up, 'cause I'm about to spit some truth
About a disease that's eating our society from the root
Corruption, the silent killer, the thief in the night
Stealing our future, our justice, our right
Bribes exchanging hands, backdoor deals in the dark
While the common folk struggle, just trying to make their mark
Services meant for all, now reserved for a few
Tell me, is this the society we ever knew?
Plato's spinning in his grave, his ideal state in shambles
As the guardians of our republic take part in corrupt gambles
Aristotle's golden mean? More like a rusty scale
Tipped in favour of the rich, leaving the poor to wail
John Rawls cries out from behind his veil of ignorance
"Where's the fairness? The justice? This ain't what I meant!"
The social contract in tatters, Rousseau's dream undone
When public service becomes a race that can't be won
Corruption kills! It kills our schools, our hospitals, our streets
It kills our faith in leaders, in the cop on the beat
It kills our children's future, their chance to rise and shine
It kills our very soul, crossing every moral line
Kant would ask, "Is this universal? Could all act this way?"
If everyone was corrupt, society would decay
But here we are, watching it crumble day by day
As the corrupt few steal everyone else's say
So what do we do? How do we break this chain?
How do we wash away this deep, pervasive stain?
It starts with us, with you, with me, with all
Standing up, speaking out, refusing to fall
For every bribe refused, every whistleblower brave
We claw back our future from corruption's grave
It's time to rise, to fight, to make things right
To bring our society back into the light
Because justice ain't just a word, it's our lifeline
Fairness ain't a luxury, it should be yours and mine
Well-being ain't for sale, it's our birthright
So stand up, speak out, and join the fight!
Against corruption, against the rot
For the society we want, not the one we've got
The philosophers of old, showed us the way
Now it's up to us to seize a better day!
Can’t feel myself anymore in this rut
Gotta get out now before I rot, now before I rot
Can’t erase this deep feeling in my gut
Ought to move on, give it the strength I got
Blotched just a notch
By the sunlight, dimming in darkness
Keep in touch, in touch
With me before I fall into the abyss
But, with my hopeful wings of flight,
I’ll be in flight all night long tonight
Run and turn away from the flames of my heart
Run and turn and don’t burn away from the start
I’m burning with the fire of desire
You’re burning with so much ire
And I will never tire of your love inside
And I will never admire the darkest tide
Run and turn away for the sake of our love
Gotta get out now before time runs out
Run and turn away before we break like a weakened dove from above
Got to move on before the dawn of fate hits us suddenly without a doubt
Blotched just a notch
By the sunlight, dimming in darkness
Keep in touch, in touch
With me before I fall into the abyss
But, with my hopeful wings of flight,
I’ll be in flight all night long tonight
Run and turn away from the flames of my heart
Run and turn and don’t burn away from the start
I’m burning with the fire of desire
You’re burning with so much ire
And I will never tire of your love inside
And I will never admire the darkest tide
Turn and run today
Run and turn away
Turn and run in a sway
Run and burn astray
We will be free one day
We will be happy someday
Come what may,
Despite the dismay
Sitting on deck
Sails in check
The sun falls from the sky
So many colors as the sun says good bye
Rocking upon the waves gently as can be
Watched the sun kiss the sea
Over yonder a dolphin keeps lazy pace
Think more for the company than the race
Hearing the waves break against the bow
Never more alive than I am now
Purples orange red and pink
Opens my soul to the brink
Peace does abide
These waves I ride
Far from the rushing tide
Solitude , lonely , yet so alive
beautifully perfect for what I did strive
Looking for peace of mind
Came all this way Just to find
It was in me all the while
Made me smile
Found what I was seeking
Had to head home now for my boat was leaking
No fear
New hope was here
New peace of mind
Myself was who I did find
The sound of water gushes down the big dirty river
beating on the backs of stubborn rocks whose root
is buried beneath the pregnant ground
penetrating the deep and listening to its musical sound
Water flows intensely down the cascade searching
for a pathway to break through my inflated soul
Trees hangs solemnly over the bloated well
This is the place where they all dwell
Trees with swollen trunks and long roots
burst out of the watery ground
Stand up like giant on the side of the river bank
Taking on the persona of a living man
I lay on a big rock in the river bed pretending as if I was dead
And and all of a sudden water start swelling around me
Dragging me to face my destiny
Water flowing from all direction
Bashing against the rocks clearing up the debris
and rooting up the broken trees
Hidden away in the cracks and crevices of the rocks
And cemented up in a mystical wall
He took one giant step before the historical fall
The trees stared proudly at me as if I had won a victory
But somewhere among the disloyal pack it was hiding in the back
One dry tree stood among the green and healthy trees
Sucking up the all nourishment and hiding from its predicament
They dine together in the middle of the night
And chat until broad daylight gazing at the static sea
I recuse myself from the rock
To see what was happening behind my back
The water pushed me and the current pulled me
dragging me fiercely to face my destiny
The river is swelling all around me.
Did you ever feel your heart break and begin to cry
Sit Back my friends and I’ll tell you why
A friendship developed, beautiful like fresh fallen snow
Then she says soon she will go
You always knew this day would be here
Until this moment you did not know it was near
So you sit in the dark, and tears fill your eyes
You try and accept she will soon say goodbye
Try to imagine life without her in my daily life
Days will be long, and sadness will fill my nights
I will cherish the memories and good times we had
But will it be enough to not be so sad
They say hold on to memories and cherish the dreams
But My love for her makes me want to scream
I wish with all my heart she did not have to go
And may the time we have left will go by slow
Nika, I will always love you with all my heart
You truly grabbed my soul right from the start
Every day we have been together life has been dream
Please don’t forget me and listen for my scream.
I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND
