To The Boy I Loved
#00029
before anything else, i want to say...
the initial title of this little writing
was “to the man i loved”
until i realized
you were never a man
from the beginning.
i hope you found your way
through someplace
you think you're comfortable at.
it's been a year since we're over
and here you still are,
right where i left you.
torn, damaged, and bad.
not knowing that—
i’ve been through worse
you’re making me mad (mad= severely crazy; madness)
i didn't write this
to compliment you.
my words
are my power.
i know you are very much well-aware of that.
i didn’t write this
to remember our love.
i didn’t write this
to reconcile
for fuck’s sake
i wrote this
because you have no idea.
you have seen me bareface
and you thought you still need to see
what lies beneath my clothes
to know my soul.
you have seen me alone
and you thought you have to stay by my side
forever—for comfort and peace
when you brought me nothing
but rage that i’ll never
get rid of.
you have seen me weak
and you thought i need you.
you still think i need you.
until now.
when you can’t even
get a hold of yourself.
until now.
you have no idea
how much it pains me
to know
that someone loves me
so wrong.
maybe you have some things i don’t.
i can name them all.
patience, desperation,
loyal—obsessive,
money, audacity.
and greed.
i am sorry
but i am not sorry.
whatever it is that you think of me
is not my responsibility.
i only want everything to be right.
why can’t you let me be?
i never made you drink a love potion,
i never asked someone to put a curse on you.
why do you think of me
as someone you must possess
for your life?
you don’t own me.
you never did.
you will not understand.
you will never
understand.
you have no clue what it’s like
to be genuinely in the clouds
because two people met
for having the same
taste in poetry
you have no clue what it’s like
to feel butterflies in your stomach
because you would forcingly make me
settle for a cockroach.
you have no clue what it's like
to dream so big
be a career woman; make my own company
because you just wanted to make
babies with me.
(now i don’t want to have any baby at all.)
you have no clue what it’s like
to live where i live.
to grow where i grow.
to embrace all my fears—
because you don’t deserve me.
i don’t deserve you.
please let me go.
stop making me feel bad
for choosing to heal myself
from a toxic environment
i thought i belong.
from your arms, i realized
our hugs don’t even fit.
your grip is tightening me too much—
i could barely breathe
literally.
to the boy i loved,
i have totally buried our memories
to the ground
over a year ago.
i have forgotten all the things we did
because they don't matter
at all.
to the boy i loved,
i hope you get what you deserve
because don’t you know?
i have put myself up high
so high, a pair of bare eyes
will never see
to the point that
i promised myself
a boy like you
will never reach me
ever again.

it sucks when your downfall starts with your family. they can easily throw negativity on you just by heaving a single sigh. even at the smallest things, they can effortlessly bring you down. it sucks when you know the meaning of their gaze; you know they look at you as if you were the humanisation of disappointment. i was supposed to fight back saying, “you’re the first people who degrades my capability in everything. thank you for ruining my dreams, i’ll never give you any recognition once i succeeded one.”
but then i came to a moment of realisation of the truth. i can never really blame them for giving up on me, i’ve given up on myself long time ago. so... i can’t really differentiate my own judgement on theirs. except i keep myself alive and not just breathing, while they continuously kill my emotional being. yes. that is my family.

counting the days ‘til january isn’t easy for me. i mean, literally, counting itself is hard. honestly, i was once a smart kid in the past but now i neglected everything because i’ve started having mental breakdowns. i have forgotten everything, until i didn’t know anymore how to count.
head counting. counting stuffs. when my counting passes 10′s, i seriously get confused already. sometimes i forget what number did i say last, sometimes i just suddenly snap out of my own head. i don’t know. it’s crazy. i’m crazy.
4 days to go, and it’s christmas. its celebration here in our country is fun and festive. i used to not feel it years ago, but maybe it’s just because i suffered depression so hard then. now, i do. i do feel christmas. i chose to be happy and stick with positivism. by that, i learned to be contented. i didn’t expect i have blinded myself to the point that my heart will go numb.
i suddenly realized what’s coming up on january. my mom is going to leave. and now... i just. i deserve more to be the one who’s leaving more than her. she’s needed in this place.
i’m not.

Do you solemnly remember
the sunflower fields we roamed
the gorgeous lakes we walked around
the silent streets we passed holding hands?
Do you madly remember
the sloppy breaths we shared
the dirty tongues we once fought
the warm bodies we combined as one?
Do you still remember
the families you turned angry
the skies you turned gray
the time you claimed I had an amnesia
when was it really because
you had an Alzheimer disease?

but you have to love yourself too.
#00026
“Just stop! You know what? I’ve had enough!”
“W-What do you want me to do?”
“Believe me, I loved you.”
“H-How am I supposed to do so?”
“Why are you always asking me about things? Why can’t you decide for yourself?”
“Look, I-I’m sorry.”
“What kind of person are you? You can’t even fix your own self and you want to devote all your love for me?”
“...”
“Don’t you know how that shit is?”
“I-I’m-”
“Stop. Just- Just stop, okay? Listen to me, listen to me!”
“...”
“I loved you, I can’t blame you if you don’t believe me. I appreciate all the efforts and everything you sacrificed for me. I can never ask for anything else.”
“...”
“Do you think I want this? To let go of you? You may not feel this but I loved you, more than you know..”
“...”
“..but you have to love yourself too.”

“I Am Always The One That Got Away, And I Like It”
After years of yearning, I am finally away from home. 155.5km away, to be exact. Been here for almost 2weeks already, and I’m far eccentric than ever.
Guess what? Now, I feel confused.
For a week, I felt euphoria with my departure. I was overwhelmed with my emotions. During my trip, I admit I am a little terrified of what awaits me: Where will I find myself months from now? Am I going to shape my growth with this opportunity? Will I feel the contentment and belongingness of being somewhere else outside my comfort zone? Or, will I come back home without anything that has changed? Is this escapade only going to be a vacation for nothing? Am I going to return being the same person?
I have always been so obsessed with the pleasure of leaving, I don’t know why. Its idea has always crippled into my mind like an infective disease that eats my system whole and makes sure that I am fully consumed. I am never the person who is meant to stay. In a situation or place wherein I don’t feel appreciated, valued, nor needed, I never hesitate to leave the first chance I get. And that has always saved me from being impulsive and giving in. The fact is, I always care too much. But, when I’m done, I’m done.
I am grateful for all the people who has let me go. Ever since then, I zone out my presence no matter how much I love the person that’s going to be left behind-- if that’s what it takes to make us better people. I heave all the courage inside me and leave footsteps imprinted in their hearts. I say goodbye too often... I say goodbye too many times.
And for some people who doesn’t let me go, doesn’t plan to let me go, and never takes the chance to let me go, I don’t know how else I’m going to deal with you. You see, I can only love up to my limits. I can be the dumbest fool who’s going to express my affection for you, devote all of me to you whatever it takes, and face the consequences later--but that is only for long. At this point of my life, I have realized that I am never meant to stay anywhere with anyone at all. And I could gather all the reasons why and rub it to your face. For your own sake, let me go.
I am always the one that got away, and I like it. Growing up, I have been raised with so much love. That’s why I know for a fact when someone does not deserve me, or the other way around. Either way, it has been intact with my instincts to not hesitate to cut ties. Not because I am weak, I am a coward, I am a loser--I have a talent of cutting ties with people and I’m very good with it because I don’t wanna be stuck in a broken situation wherein I could not fix, especially if it’s involved with more toxic people.
2 weeks into my departure, 4 years of longingness. I have promised myself to never come back home for non sense reasons. I have kept it in my mind that just because I share distance with my family now, doesn’t mean I am automatically facing my full-time growth as a better person. I am aware that I am still going to face challenges that will test not only my spirit but the entirety of my being. All these unfamiliarity and risks might even get me into life and death situation, but I can only hope that I’d survive. The thing is, I cannot survive without fighting. A soldier who has always longed to die being a hero does not fulfill his ambition without being in a battlefield. An soap opera artist cannot gain the pleasure of hearing claps from a thousand pair of hands if she is going to sing only at her bedroom, alone and stuck. I know I deserve more than staying in my comfort zone. Not because I am running away from my responsibilities at all. I have to grow up. And I cannot grow from comfort. I know I can do more.
At some moments, I feel confused. I am scared. Now that I am at the duration of my opportunity for growth, I am doing my best not to fuck it up. There are even times that I want to come home and crawl into my bed. Like the old times. For the past 18 years. It’s just that, I miss the control. The freedom. The authority.
But, I just shrug it all off. I remind myself why I left at the first place: I deserve better. I know I can do better. No useless man is going to make me stay for him, hence come back to my hometown so I can be near him. No challenge can sway my passion for departures; my strong longingness for adventures. I am going to start anew in a town wherein nobody knows my name. I am leaving my past behind I could tear my heart out if that’s what it takes.
I am always the one that got away, and I like it.

I slept for 12hrs and woke up at 2pm because i had a dream. I had a dream that I wanted to live at it.
Finally, I moved to my unit in Manila City. Finally, I was able to get away from home. It was my lifelong plan, to move away from my hometown and live in a different city; alone and independent. Facing new challenges and breakthrough adventures. I will finally breakfree from my comfort zone and stand up on my own feet.
Before I could settle down with my unit, I even saw two of my acquaintances already living at the unit next door. I was so glad to see them. Then in the afternoon, I went out to party with my college friends. It was the typical College party and it was lit and funny. I had so much fun that I didn’t want to leave.
When I got back home, another typical “settling down” scenario happened with my unit. The comfort room reeks of some sort of smell, so I had to go out again and buy an airspray to fix it. What’s funny is the details were so specific: I could already put my LED lights, and it was already on that night even though I’m still not finished settling down. I wasn’t drunk at all even after going to a party, just feeling tired because it’s already midnight. And lastly, I even thought of how should I pay for the things I’m going to buy---GCash. Damn, yeah. The power of GCash. My partner in crime. Another specific detail, I was planning to go to the 7/11 convenience store because it’s open 24/7. I’m still not used to the surroundings in Manila, but here I am partying and going out at midnight all alone, sober, and as if I’m not troublesome.
I slept for 12hrs and woke up at 2pm because i had a dream. I had a dream that I wanted to live at it----only to wake up.

i know i put pressure to myself to have this image of strong independent woman —which i could acquire somehow—but i am also an oversensitive bitch who is prone to have my depressive personality triggered at any moment. i discipline myself to act tough, be touch, and think though at all times and that’s because of my regrets.
the thing about my regrets is that: i do regret not doing things i should’ve done, but what i’m more concern of is the things that i’ve done that i should have not.

The Madness in the Void
#00034
[trigger warning.]
i promised.
i promised to the gods ;
to build walls so immense
to erect my standards
to guard all the organs left in me
to not settle on what’s in front
to synthesize an intoxicated flesh
and stitch it on my own skin
pour the blood out of me
and drink it all — bottoms up.
so, why?
why do i find myself
having a facade
pitying those on my view
without knowing that
here i am again
tearing myself over and over
and over and over again.
willingly.
i swore.
i swore to the angels ;
i’d never let my guard down.
i’ll stay on my place,
on a castle made out of
crystals tears, drafted papers,
polished by bloodstains
abudance of false hopes
enjoying solitude only with
the nothingness of the void,
continually growing upwards,
independently, bravely —
not needing anyone to carry me
or be with me at all —
so, why?
after all these efforts,
months, years of hardworks
why do i find myself
opening doors just to
let someone abuse me?
i swore to the angels the courage.
just let me be.
so, why?
why does my castle have
endless bridges, open doors,
and even tunnels underneath?
i thought i built it for my deep love
on mysteries, adventures,
oh—how deeply i long for escapes!
but i never realized how obsessed i am
with serial killers, psychomaniac, havoc
disguised in a heartbeat
worn of a leather jacket.
i took my own life.
repeatedly ; whenever i needed to.
and offered it to the demons
those whom i have stopped fighting against.
the demon who visits me
during sleep paralysis?
i didn’t know
we had the same vibes.
the demon who’s inside my mind
now pays rent to live inside it
and i count the money i gain.
while the demon who
never leaves my shoulder
has learned how ironic i am
to pray for someone above
while selling my soul below —
and he’s laughing his ass off
along with the gods and angels
i swore along with him.
i have made promises on them
in different worldly punctualities.
i used to beg these beings
to save me ; no, i can’t go yet —
not just yet.
spare my life
and i’ll live loudly.
poured & get drunk
on my own blood,
learned to cross stitch
with my skin as a canvas,
tried to bury myself alive,
burn my own cold feet.
yet, here i am.
losing nothing.
i have a voice too empowered;
but where are the words to say?
every time i open my mouth,
i seem breathless.
i am in progress of stability
towards the long run
and i have never been so happy
on how fast i grow.
all alone, all good.
so, why?
why does the void exist?
no, i am not in need of warmth —
the hell is not in the underworld,
it lives right here inside my heart.
i am not in need of some company
that will never be enough for me.
i just don’t get it.
why does the void exist?
the empty feeling.
the long stares at the ceiling
at the middle of the night
wondering how, when —
when will i ever be contented?
when will i stop being obsessed
with bettering myself
yet letting everyone
take me for granted?
and they didn’t even ask for it.
i willingly gave in.
even after reminding myself to stop,
why do i let them hurt me
and i’m always the one who says sorry?
searching for a scorched proximity
through these people,
i know,
will never fill
the emptiness
of my cup.
fuck it.
fuck it all.
fuck me through hell,
fuck me through all the heavens ever existed,
fuck me through all the streets who never sleeps.
fuck me — tell me why.
tell me fucking why.
because i have to stop hurting
tearing my own skin
giving out everything inside me
there’s nothing left no more
all these stitches will heal
but never those of what i feel.
it will last eternally,
abusers unforgiven,
traumas unforgotten,
just fucking tell me why —
why does the void exist?
i kept on emptying myself.
madly.
and after sucking the life within me
out of reality and surrealism;
after i have kneeled my heart to heavens
and sold my soul to hell,
why is there still
something left?
i can’t seem to understand.
if the void is truly just empty —
why does it feel so heavy?

I am not a Juliet.
#00033
i am not a juliet.
i don’t need saving.
i don’t need a romeo
or a 3-day romance
that caused 6 deaths.
i’ll never shout
“oh, romeo!
save me, my romeo!”
just, ew.
what the fuck.
i am a damsel,
i am in distress,
i am indeed a damsel in distress;
but i don’t need a knight shining armor.
i am my own warrior.
don’t save me.
i’d rather die in vain
than fall in your hands,
owe debt and all that.
don’t save me—
i don’t want to be saved.
i am not a juliet.
do i look like someone
who would kill herself
because of a guy?
ugh.
seriously.
what the fuck?
so fucking disgusting.

Don’t start with me.

If you ever questioned my capabilities, you better satisfy yourself upon watching me. I stumble upon a lot of mistakes and endeavors that sometimes, it takes me months to pick myself back up. But, the question is, when I finally do, that intimidates you, right? Why is that? I’m sorry, does my wisdom intimidate you?
I am well-aware even from the slightest of my failures. Who are you to budge in and involve yourself? You can never bring me down again. Although, I gotta admit, it would be funny to see you try.
At this point of my life wherein I prioritize placing the love in my heart at the right things, I have never really forgotten what brought me here. I may not have been grown enough yet, but my ugly past is quite reasonable to embody all the burden you gave me—as it’s what’s keeping me going. No, I DON’T owe you my growth. I am NOT thankful that you hurt me. You have taught me not to forgive; I will never forgive you.
If you ever think you can pull me down, go ahead. Here’s what you can do: Trigger my anxiety, push my weak spots, make me cry like a baby. No, don’t hurt me physically—wounds can heal. Torture my mind, that’s what’s effective. Slap me my insecurities, doubts, and worries. Yep. That’s it. So simple, right? Physical wounds can heal, e. I want the kind of pain that makes me crazy. However, I don’t guarantee that I won’t laugh out loud afterwards.
You have to realize that if you hate me, I don’t give a fuck. You can despise me all you want, but you can never hate me more than I hate myself. Am I clear? Don’t compete with me. I’ve been trying to kill myself for years too. You can spend your time for something else more worthwhile.
I am deeply aware of all my flaws. I know how reckless and irresponsible I am when I’m out of my mind. I know how limitless I can get. But that’s none of your business. Besides, have you ever asked yourself at which point you’re standing on to have the right to pin your nose in my life? Have you never gone mad? All I did was be truthful to myself here; I don’t bullshit anybody as long as I’m sane. If my being as a person annoys you, do yourself a simple favor and unfriend me. As if you’re pure.
Nah, this post ain’t for something serious. Just wanted to let off some steam in my mind. People around you will always say something about you, right? So let me say what I want to say about myself too. I am very much aware of my imperfections and I am more than willing to embrace growth each day, perhaps, your point of view tells you something else about me that makes you hate me? Well, why is that? Anyway, I know you’d mind telling me. Let’s better drop it here.
Don’t start with me. I’ve been through worse. Meddle with what I am right now and I sure won’t waste a second to deal with you, properly.
Again, don’t start with me.
Bitch.

It was the typical sounds when wake up.
#00031
it was the typical sounds when i wake up.
except it wasn’t morning.
it’s almost 11 in the evening,
and when i looked outside,
the rain has been pouring.
i hear the spoons and forks clashing
against the plates on our dinner table
i hear my dad talking—
about politics, business, and us, his children
i hear a woman’s voice respond to him
and it’s that familiar sound
that i could never get tired of hearing.
except it wasn’t my mother’s.
even with my eyes closed
and my body still asleep,
my mind is wide awake
as my ears are tingling.
i’d usually yell at them to keep quiet—
i’m still sleeping! for god’s sake—
except this time, i didn’t.
i did not say a thing
as i enjoy what i hear
by my sense of listening.
i can hear the raindrops on my window
as i hug my pillows tight.
even though i’m still half-dreaming—
i know i’m awake.
in my mind, i’m running.
through a cornfield,
through a bush of sunflowers,
through the ocean waves.
but my body is here in my bedroom,
listening.
to the voices of my family.
to the sounds of my reality.
it’s that time of the month
when i’m supposed to be stressing.
crying, devastating,
exhausting myself over nothing.
except i wasn’t.
life has turned upside down
and no one can change it back.
except i’m not trying.
it was the typical sounds when i wake up.
i hear the rooster make its morning sound,
except it was almost midnight.
i hear my family eating on our dining table,
except it wasn’t breakfast.
i hear myself moaning to sleep more,
except i wasn’t breathing.
just kidding.
good evening.
