Can I Even Make Things Happen or Am I Just Pretending

For a happy life,
start by not falling into
negative thoughts
about things
that haven't even happened.

Tila pumayapa ang hangin
dahil sa iyong lambing.
Gumaan na ang paghinga’t
humina na ang pagdaing.
Nagising sa bangungot na
puno ng alalahanin.
Nagkulay sa mundo kong
mag-isang kailangang tawirin.

I’ll love myself first
so I won't be deceived
by your apology.
I know it gets worst
since my pain won’t be concealed
by your fake sorry.

May lungkot ang hanging
dala dala ng ulan.
Tila tangan nito ang mga alaalang
gustong makalimutan.
Sa pagdaan nito
sa aking sinisilungan.
Nawa'y mabawasan din ang sakit
na nararamdaman.

Dye your heart with happiness
by making other people smile.
A sweet stroke of kindness
that will lull you to sleep at night.

Hold me tight
until the last tear falls.
Mask the night
with lies to clear my thoughts.
Overwrite
things until it’s my fault.

To get envious
of the things that others have.
And disregard
those minutes that made us laugh.
Neglecting love
that tirelessly gave a chance.
Thorns of discontent that taught us
too much pride.

May this be the start
of our prosperous and
happiest season.
Embrace September
with warmth and affection.

She only wants
your heartfelt appreciation.
For your apology
only feeds depression.
You’re not to blame
if she’s taught to show affection.
Just sad that some people
lack consideration.

When I’m sad,
the sun will shine brighter.
When I’m cold,
the moon radiates bigger.
When lost,
the stars draw a pattern.

So that I can keep up with my dreams
and give back
what the world has…

A man should be confident,
NEVER ARROGANT.
A man should be consistent,
to get what he wants.
A man should be persistent.
PROUD to have an OPEN HEART.

The best lessons come
from those who have been
humbled and strengthened
by experience.

Let’s be transparent
about all our shortcomings.
And just concentrate
on what will keep us going.

A calm mind
prevents us from
making unnecessary mistakes.
Being kind
leads to acceptance
and avoids unwanted stress.
Limit pride
that might hinder our progress and
the dream of success.
Don't waste ti…

To walk alone,
until a familiar face
appears in my mind.
Keep dreaming on,
turning back time and
undoing what I did wrong.
