FREEDOM All my life I've always wanted to be free I wanted to be loved for who I am I wanted to be given importance. But I can't understand Why is this happening to me? I feel so incomplete I feel so unhappy. Sometimes I always ask myself What have I done wrong? Am I not being good? Is this a spell that was cast on me? Why am I feeling this way? Sometimes I just wish to be dead Sometimes I just want to rebel against them But I can't do it. Every time I think to be bad My conscience is telling me not to do it Now I understand why It's because I love them. Renilyn A. Bartolome |
| WITH YOU Whenever I feel sad and blue, Whenever my mind is confused, Whatever the reason may be, There's always still YOU. You give me hope; that everything would be all right. You give me strength; and encourage me to be strong. You became my wings; and lifted me higher. To where I'm supposed to be... A place where I could find happiness and serenity. And now that I've found the place; a place I never thought would be full of happiness and joy. Satisfying my whole life. It's with YOU.. And you're the one who taught me the real meaning of life. --Almira Vanessa M. Ledesma-- ********************************************************** Holding On Is Not The Answer When you hold on to a rope tightly, later your hands gets sweaty and the tighter you will hold on to it, later on your hands will just let go of it. With that, I guess it's not right to hold on to someone's hands no matter what happens. For the longer you will be holding on to it, the pain gets more severe and the longer your suffering would be. If you decide not to let go, the ending would still be the same. You will end up letting go for you can't take the pressure. You can't be tied up on a situation like that forever. So just loosen up a bit and if needed, don't be scared to let go of them. Let the air pass through the sweat to dry up, for the pain to subside. Now you can hold on to one's hands again but this time, gently. --Carmina Recinto- |
| LOVE YOU BUT I CANNOT LOVE YOU... I WANT YOU BUT I CANNOT HAVE YOU EVERYTIME YOU PASS, MY EYES SWELL EVERYTIME YOU STAND, MY HANDS TREMBLE WITH LOVE ALL I NEED IS YOUR LOVE, BECAUSE I AM DESPERATELY IN LOVE WITH YOU I LOVE YOU BUT I CANNOT LOVE YOU. --EARL D.F. LARRODER-- ********************************************** DAMAGED Dreaming comes easily Cause it's all that I've known True love is like a fairy tale, I'm damaged,so how would i know... I'm scared and all alone I'm ashamed And i need for your to know I didn't say all the things That i wanted to say And you can't take back What you've taken away... ARVEY SHERIKA C. DOLOTINA |
| ALONE We started as strangers. We continued as lovers. We ended as friends. We call each other. We see and eat together. But can this be forever? There is no such thing as ever after. There is no such thing as forever. There is no such thing as for a lifetime. There is no such thing as permanent. But there is a feeling we call love. As we all say, love is kind. Love is mysterious. Love can wait. Love will make you happy. But loving is nothing if you will not learn on how to accept things that can be hurting. I loved you but I don't know if you still love me too. Sometimes I don't want to close my eyes. I even don't want to fall asleep. I am scared when I wake up, I am only alone loving you. --LOURDES URSULA O. DE VILLA-- |
| Friends Able to wonder how it all started? Able to wonder how it will end? Able to wonder how we met? Able to wonder why it all happened? I was a strangers then. All of you were from one section I only passed by you You passed by me We were neighbors Yet I was a stranger. I heard your name first, Yet I didn't mind I heard your name then, Yet it was already graduation I was a stranger then. High school came, The first name I heard, The name that I heard in grade school Yet I didn't mind I had my clique I had my own friends You had yours I was a stranger then. Mid of our freshmen year We became friends We formed our own clique But what happened? I was still a stranger then. Our sophomore year came, There I met all of you Yet I was still a stranger Just passing by Mid of our sophomore year, The name during our graduation I heard it again We became friends Why was it again? I was still a stranger. Then it was already our junior year We all ate together, you, me , her and them.. We all laughed, cried together. We did everything together. Now, I can say I am not a stranger. Now, our senior years. We're all busy but we had time to bond last summer. You have this, I have this, They have that We all have lots of things to do Will we still be able to have things done together? Will we last together? Will be friends forever? Perhaps yes. Perhaps not. It could be a maybe Or it could be a no answer We can't hold on each other's hand forever But i think we can stay friends forever In our hearts and In our minds We'll last together, forever. - Maria Lourdes Ruste - |
| Forbidden? There she wildly stared, as her smile menacingly crawled upon my vista that was clear, sharpened by my soul's scream. Her eyes were broad, yet her lips were mild. Like a crystal shaped in circles, shine. As she came nearer, she flashed a coquettish smile which made the music, a luminous hymn. I knew I wasn't supposed to feel this way Yet the light I see and the life I feel, traced birds of joy, of great admiration. An admiration that was real, of love that was forbidden. And here, nearer she was, as her star-crossed lips opened, I let a voice of mine raised a hand of purity and calmly said, "Body of Christ." Kelvin Culajara ADZU- HS Philippines |
