An Image of Us
GLYNDEL MAGALLANES
I'm crying out loud like a baby righ now. I don't understand.
These tears are thorns to my soul, it hurts that I can't bear more.
I realized that, there was never an "us". Why am I bothered?
Depression
KRISTINE ANGEL ENAD
Depression is not sadness, it is a mental illness.
Expressing your feelings is the only way to heal depression.
How do you open up, when ther is n one around for you?
Holding You Tight
CHELSEA ALIGANGA
I will hold you tight and I will feel the warmth of your touch;
I will be as strong as the "Wonder Woman" to protect you.
But how would I even do that when you don't exist?
Leader of the Pack
PATRICIA SANTIAGO
A girl's heart is like glass with just one flick it breaks to pieces;
Broken glass will forever be a permanent cold state;
You can throw me to the wolves; I will return leading the pack.
Loneliness
REGINALD ABELLANOSA
Loneliness. It is a feeling that no one understands.
Stuck in the abyss, all alone. Condemened by all the silence;
The truth is, "I like being alone but I hate being lonely."
Memories of You
MIKELA GUNGOB
The memories we had are heavily painted in my mind,
My heart still searches for you and misses you all the time.
But it will all happily end there because you're up there now.
Pure Existence
DONESA RHAE AZCUNA
She had always been the definition of purity;
Being real to herself, with the hint of innocence, she's pur.
How can someone be not pure when she doesn't exist in the world.
Your Beauty
CHRISTIAN ANTONIO CAGALITAN
Beauty is a compassionate word; And that beauty is you.
But what I said, is a lie, as fake as plastic and as phony.
I know you're beautiful when all I see is the darkness.
