Talinhaga: English and Filipino Poems

All I Am

All i am is a "no one" behind a writer

 A frustrated actor in this real life theater

 Not "My World's Axel" that revolves at the center

 Of the wheel of Her life that makes someone better

 All i am is a growler, never a singer

 Not meant to be loved, but meant to be a lover

 Not a knight in shining armor that holds a shield

 Nor a "Jellyfish" on Bikini Bottom's field

 All i am is a simple, ugly guy on earth

 Not a stain remover, but a ruining dirt

 I was born to be dumped and lived to be hurt

 A tragic reality that was set since birth

 If i do possess an exceptional talent

 That can put a smile or frown on others at length

 Then why does life has to be so hard and so rough

 I am just a cipher - dreaming to become tough

 All i am is the unnoticeable Xavier

 Not an Ando, a Cybil, or a seafarer

 This is what i really am; all that i can be

 The least ideal guy, the best for nobody
