Mi La Letra

10. Hindi Na Para Sa Iyo (4/7)

Let me share to you the biggest realization that unveiled itself into my 2019:

We never lose our passion; we don't get bad at it either. We only stop believing in ourselves.

In the beginning (beningging haha) quarter of this year, I poured my heart out into a collection of 7 literary pieces that I thought of sending to someone I lost. I really kept it as though I would have the chance of giving it to him, and with the persistent belief that he was the only person who deserved to see this collection.

But I finally let go of that hope.

Now I realize that these pieces are too raw, too untainted, and [maybe] just enough of beautiful to deserve a place in this world. That possibly by sharing my humble creations, I can indirectly inspire aspiring artists like me to never stop believing in your self and passion no matter how many times you've lost your way.

Ikaapat

Kagat ang panulat, tanaw ang mga alaala
Namayani sa isipan mga pag-amo mong kay sarap sa pakinig
Tanggi sa sarili na iyo'y pagsilip lamang
Ngunit bakit nais muli bulong mo'y mapakinggan?

Nakadagan ang sakit sa aking puso
Bakit ko iyon nagawa sa iyo?
Itinapon ka at ang mga sumpaan
Iwinaksi ka at ating pagmamahalan

Ayaw sanang masambit ang patawad dahil tama naman
Huwag sanang madulas ang mahal kita dahil mali naman
'Di sana dumampi ang kamay kong naghihikahos
'Di nawa maaming sana'y tayo pa rin

Sa aking piling ikaw ay malulungkot
Sa aking bisig 'di ka maiingatan nang lubos
Sa tabi ko ika'y laging mahuhulog
Sa pag-ibig ko, ikaw ang lumulubog

Huwag ka nang lumingon sa akin, umiwas sa hapdi
Huwag mo nang asamin ang atin, puro lamang sakit
Huwag mo na akong muling ibigin, panay lang pait
Huwag ka nang bumalik, kahit pangarap kang muling maging akin
