Asmana Umpat Poem
Da sa maninai na da sa balakesan
Na lumangkap so tenggao,
Na imanto a gagawii na singayo akn so gagaw
Ogaid na di patot oba pangampit.
Kataya a tentengan nakn so gabon
Sa kapapal iyan na kiyakoloban iyan so mga sirig
Ogaid na sa gini a pitibarangan a mga sirig,
Na di ako dn sarig,
ka miyatanto a sii rka bo panarig.
Opama da maserep sa langit a sirig,
Na didn maboboko sabap
Ko katawan o badan go mokarna
A adn a numanayaw rakn a makindat a ulan.

Asmana Umpat Poem
These past few years, I've tried to find your whereabouts, wishing you would return to my loving arms. But, unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. I know I’ve grown accustomed to pain, yet I'm still afraid of what may happen next.
I’m afraid of crossing the road; seeing all those cars makes my heart race. You might think I’m overthinking, but what can I do? Memories flash before me like morning sunlight. I wanted to cross that road with you, feeling you hold me tight, but now you’re gone, and the only thing I have to hold onto is my purse.
It’s strange how I can write so many words when I can’t say anything when I’m with you. It’s eerie that I’m still fighting even though I was defeated from the start. This feeling of losing you makes my heart long for the yesterday we can’t reclaim. The fact that I can’t do anything about it candidly breaks my heart.
I know I must move forward and let time decide, but I just can’t visualize a life without you. It was foolish of me to think that leaving you meant saving you. I thought ignoring each other would make things better, but that hasn’t worked for me. I’m still the perpetrator of the greatest mistake—believing I could cross the road without you.

Moving on
Leaving behind those great and kind – it is about forgiving and moving forward, letting go of the bitterness in one's heart so that new doors are opened.
With every move you make, a bittersweet lesson is given. Of tapping stories – the temporary – not yet to be told.
You're told that great people are hard to find and that the one you've sought must be perfect, only for such a person to vanish as you move to the next level. And at such times, what you have in your heart is the only answer.
That road you see over there, your feat, walk it! Leaving what used to be present, friends may part but the memorial remains. In the depth and twists and turns of your lanes.
And that's why, so walk your path, brave, and true. Leaving the paramount, bidding goodbyes, for in the end, what you are going to get is the journey that shapes your heart and mind.
