I’ve waited all day last Saturday

On the same road,

On the same road,On the same road,

I walk and walk.

Looking for a familiar face,

Wanting to hear some words

With all those climbs,

With all those lows.

Searching​ for that lass,

That’s what I did while going along

For light till dark,

Doing my arduous chore.

I expected that at least,

That I won’t hear those lines

I’ve been counting the days,

Anticipating that maybe one day.

Then I’ve counted the hours and minutes,

Well, I was not disappointed.

The day had ended,

The hours had been reset.

My poor soul got what it deserved

Despair and something to never forget.

Happy birthday to you,

I guess that will do.

Searching​ for that lass,

That's what I did while going along

For light till dark,

Doing my arduous chore.

To my father

i don't know if i should regret,

not saying the words i prepared.

I'm always myself,

i don't know how to start the conversation.

never felt love by your side,

you never liked the way i grow.

always annoys me with your shout,

shouts that i don't really care about.

going home is not that fun,

when you're already having fun.

you're not the one that i dreamed of,

not somehow as cold as you.

but i guess I'll thank you though,

for everything that you do.

for the shouts, and joy,

for the food, and toys.

i'll never be what i am,

without you in my life.

thank you for your hardwork,

i hope I'll be somehow like you in my life.

You

Can I breathe with you?

Can I be with you?

Can I hold your hand?

Take a breath and say “Hi”?

Be, can it be possibly be, you and me

Or it’s just the anime thing inside me

I’ll write a song

So we can sing-a-long

Are you here?

Are you near?

Are you real?

I wish I was in your world you call home

unfinished

The sound of weeping bells

The story of a weaver tells

The promise a beaver fails

To a friend who win in head or tails

The sun shines but not this time

The birds might sing but not in rhyme

There’s sound all around but not so nice

Sadness came grasping but it’s your prize

Dull, dark, blue scene

Moments for two kept unseen

Tear drops that came from above

The cold emotion it have

The endless sorrowful sound

The cold, creepy feeling around

The darkness I couldn’t contain

The sadness I couldn’t sustain

current

In the fast paced current of life. You must know how to cope with each possible scenario. Because everything might not be like the flow you want. Some flows may be good, some may be best, or some may be worse or worst. People might choose to go with the flow but it isn’t always what’s best to do. Create your own wave. Sometimes it’s better to seek for other ways, ways other than the conventional or practical ones. And the must thing in this current life, always move forward. Because living in the past will slow you down or hinder your progress. Life might be fun. Life might be dark. Life might be cruel for those who don’t fight. Life is multi-colored. Life is everything. Living is a challenge. Life is a movie scene full of questions and answers. Life is a gift. Life is more than just time. It is like money that must be spent wisely. Don’t regret and don’t forget. Because every piece of memory you have makes you who you are today. Every painful scenes or joyful trip are all parts of the current of your life.

As part of the plot

I came here flat

Came here and just sat

Sat here beside a brat

Do you think I’m sad?

And you think I’m also mad

I think you are really being a fad

I don’t know if your obsession can make me glad

Love isn’t my game

But brother, it had given me a useless fame

I don’t know if I’d be happy to have that name

But the useless fame is all for me to blame

Money is all I need

But love is sweet indeed

To have a girl that you will feed

And to take care and respect her is all you’ll heed

But I am a loner

And I don’t know how to be a lover

When she’s by my side I feel better

But I know I can’t be beside her

On this Wild West

You will never see the east

Cause here is where the test

If you will be dead or blest

I don’t even know how to court

Coz all I know is how to shot

My confidence may get too short

But I’m already here as the part of the plot
