Life

life can be real;
life can be not,
it doesn't matter where we are
nor what we do
this is life that was given to you

how glad we are to see someone happy
how sad we are to see someone lonely
the truth about life is that we have to face it
the pain, the harshness of the people
and the fame, the love of the world

everything has a meaning
some call it nothing
one may not mind
all has nothing to hide
this is life that was given to you

we come to cry
we sometimes say goodbye
to the people we love the most
who suffers and mourn
because this is the reality

love surrounds you
and hate passes through
there is nothing we can do
but enjoy life and live life
this is life that was given to you

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

                          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."
