It’s 3:00 am and I cannot sleep again. The force that keeps me awake is just too much that I cannot bring myself to fight it: Fear. I ask myself a dozen times a day, can I still do this? Can I still stand up? Can I still force my way back to earth when …
Makulimlim nanaman yata ang iyong mga mata. Bawat buntong hininga tila habagat ang dala. Naririnig ko ang manaka-nakang pagkulog ng iyong dibdib.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit o paano Na ang simulang napakaganda ay nauwi sa ganito, Kung bakit ikaw ay nagbabago, At trato na sa akin ay tila istorbo. Buti pa sila ‘pag iyong kasama, Masaya ka masigla at nakatawa Na tila alapaap ang iyong kinalalagyan, At hapis ay di alintana. Ngunit bakit sa pag-uwi mo …
