Smiles aren't Enough to Suppress Pain, Maturity Does

It’s easy to forget faith
when we are wounded.
Chooses to blame
rather than calculate what’s been evaded.
We cry and lock ourselves from
being persuaded.
Began wearing fake laugh
instead of acceptin…

What do you long for?

Daydreams, that would never exist.
Conversations wished to rehear.
Warm hugs that I considered gifts.
Laughs that would never reappear.

A moment without sadness
and unwanted tears.

Ikalawa…
Huwag mo silang sigawan,
dahil lamang sa kanilang pagkukulang.
May hapdi sa kalooban,
ngunit nakangiti ka pang pagbibigyan.

Mapalad kayong mayroong
mapagmahal na mga magulang.

Ikauna…
Igalang mo lamang ako,
respetuhin kahit hindi pagmalaki.
Pasalamatang patago’t,
paglaanang kausapin tuwing gabi.

Dahil inaasam ko palagi ang mga
kwento mo’t ngiti.

We are just blessed with
contentment.

And happiness can be found everywhere,
sometimes it gathers around in circles.
You’ve been promised to smile since forever,
it’s up to you to remove those barriers.

Some sunsets
remind me
of the most
painful goodbyes.

Have a good laugh
with your family.
Acknowledge that a lifetime
is not enough to
collect happy memories.

Always promise to love her
before sleeping.
Because without her,
there will be no better mornings.

A genuine heart doesn't need
to be enough.
It will always be perfect
in the eyes of the rightful people.

Habang tumatanda at
nagmamature,
unti-unti mong nalalaman na
hindi pala talaga umuubra
ang mga pambatang palusot
sa iyong mga magulang.
MAHAL KA LANG TALAGA NILA
kaya minsan, ika'y napagbibigyan.

One sad thing
about being happy,
is that
it makes time flies.

Every path has its
own perks.
You just have to enjoy
whatever it offers.

A woman's TRUE BEAUTY
radiates when held by the
rightful hand.

Don't just weigh your words,
BE SINCERE.
For liars manipulate feelings
while honesty motivates souls.

The more we breathe,
the more we should realize how important
our lives are to God,
nature, and our loved ones.
