Don't Have Enough Sleep

Daming sagabal sa daan,
pero tutuloy,
kahit alam nang masusugatan.
Sugal sa tamang paraan.
Pangarap ng pusong
handang kayanin ng katawan.
Kapag dasal n'yo ang tangan,
lahat ng takot
at pangamba'y nagiging …

Puro negatibong sagot
sa mga tanong na “bakit?”.
Dating malaya sa poot
ngayo’y galit ang nalapit.
Mundong nabagal ang ikot
kapag tangan mo ang sakit.
Pangambang magpapalungkot
hanggang mawala …

The first day of the month
welcomes a different tune.
A gift of cold nights,
a longer visit by the moon.
A promise of joy
with a glimpse of hope in full bloom.
A chance to rewrite
and conquer the days that brin…

When rainbows
seem too dull and faded.
Prayers and tears will
prevent our hearts
from becoming clouded.
For everything
is blurred by hatred.
It is our choices,
not the pain,
that caused us to be blind…

A blessed Sunday heals.
It’s our chance to take a break
from the exhausting dreams.
The joy from homemade meals.
A brief glimpse into
what we truly want to achieve.

Hindi titigil sumubok
hanggang mismong
kabiguan na ang mapagod.
Sa b’yaheng madalas lugmok
may ngiti pa ri’t
sa Gabay Mo papaanod.

My AMBITION
conquers my ANXIETY.
And my FAITH
addresses UNCERTAINTY.

A lifetime isn't enough
to collect happy memories.
Yet, we waste time on things
that fill our hearts with uncertainty.
Strong, are those who smile
in days full of thoughts and worries.
Blessed, are those who follow<…

To be given the best
of what I need
instead of what I want
is the perfect blessing.

I take pride in my ability
to endure and show humility.
That's what brings me positivity
and the right to accept His mercy.

Nasasabik
sa bawat paglubog ng araw.
Dahil pagpikit lang ang lunas
sa pusong namamanglaw.
Gigising man na lungkot
ang nangingibabaw.
Tiwala pa ring may pag-asa
na sa’tin ay dadalaw.

Sinusukuan ko nang sumuko
para masabing nagpapatuloy.
Tiwala lang na nagsusumamo,
na giginhawa din ang pagdaloy.
Pagod, pero nakataas-noo
namang tatamasahin
ang mga biyayang isasaboy.

Tumitingin sa bituin
kapag nalulungkot.
Tila sabik sa liwanag
dahil nalulugmok.
Sa pagkabigo umaasang
may mag-aabot
sa kamay na kapag masaya’y
nakakalimot.

I need You, Lord,
remove these fears
so that I can feel a little better.
For I don’t want to
live in tears
thinking of excuses to tell later.

Stuck in a cycle
that mostly leads
to failures and resets.
I’m a burning candle
that gathers hope,
from faith and good intent.
