Hang-ups

Would you ever care if I'll tell you that I'm the type of guy who never imagines himself joining pageants such as this? But I don't know why exactly I became part of the list... And yet, there should always be a reason behind everything. What matters in the end is what we have learned from the experience of getting out of our personal comfort zones... so that we may be free at last. This is the start and I know this is not the end of my journey to personal betterment. However, this does not mean that I'm willing to be exposed in these things further... I really don't know... I'm not closing doors for anything... Rest assured, I'll seize every day to discover my potentials and set them into actualities...

For all the persons who made this possible and to God who continuously affirms my being a person... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Foolishly Fooled

Foolishly Fooled
I just can't help it
but I need to say that I really am.
No, I'm not really sure
But I suppose I'm playing the part of a crazy fool.
Has it been madness?
Has it been a desperate attempt
to claim something I thought I'll ever have?
And yet, something that will never be...
I am standing amidst the earth and sky
waiting for the time that lightnings will struck down
and finally take my last breath.
I am desperate for the last leaf to fall.
Well' I could say to the rain, take me...
Take me to the rivers where towards the abyss.
At least, the abyss can always be
a place where I will not have to mind my feelings
a place where I can be all by myself
a place away from all pretensions and false illusions
a place away from the very edge of what people say
and what I really wanted.
Things might change then and so do my feelings.
I cannot always be someone else.
I am just me.
I am foolishly fooled by what I felt.
I am foolishly fooled by myself.
I am foolishly fooled by the world.
And I know I can never avenge myself...
I know I'll just remain here
Trying to explain to myself why
and simultaneously deiscrediting such.
I have wished for the star
Even if I know that even the moon
wouldn't be mine...
I have saved myself with no reason at all
in order to be dealt upon by manic culprits
and stealer of contentment.
I'm no longer the best man I imagined myself to be.
All because I'm foolishly fooled.

It is not the same feeling...
It can never be the same.
It just goes deeper everyday.
I don't really know.
I am not really sure.

The Most Beautiful Girl I've Ever Seen

No Joke! She's beautiful inside and out... Her wit makes me run out of words though... I often say she's too high to reach but she always says no, a sure winner and yet humble in many respects... She's someone whom you would really look after to...

Treasures

I just don't know what it means but life has sure answers...
