by Meriam B. Magdaong I sat down rethinking of my life; I saw you by the window. You are laughing with your friends as you pass by. You look so happy and free. Your smile reaches your eyes. I always thought my life is dull, and all black and white, but you give color to it. I thought I was always a failure, not until you saw the best in me. Ever since we met, I’ve been so happy, I feel seen and appreciated. But of course, again, life is not all rainbows and unicorns. We can’t be happy all the time. I was torn between choosing you and the life they chose for me. I couldn’t disobey them. They’ve planned it from the start. They said it was the best for me.

by Bernadeth Cerde ña Isn't it lovely how the world turning its back yesterday but now it's playing a soft melody clapping and dancing celebrating as if it didn't paint you, melancholy Isn't it funny how those people vandalizing your name accuse you of despicable act cause you despair are now in hollow crane begging, crying like a sinner in hell Isn't if satisfying how the efforts you've made are now paved its wave you can taste now the whole cake not just a glimpse and smell of bake Maybe our life has fare efforts, sacrifice are needed to dare so we can achieve our wishing wheel oh I guess, life, no indeed it is fair. Genre: Vindication Theme/s: Self-reflection
by Jay-Ar Fortunado We shared a secret, just you and me, Like a small whisper under a big tree. I thought all was safe, a friendship true, But the secret is revealed, what can we do? My heart is sad, like a sunken sea, Because the promise, disappeared, you see? Trust takes a while, like building a sandcastle tall, But it can break fast, with just one small fall. I wish I didn't tell you my secret So that I won't feel like I'm being cheated I can't understand this feeling It's like my heart is aching We can still be friends, that's what I believe, But next time a secret, we'll work to retrieve The trust that was lost, like a kite in the breeze, And build it up stronger, with honesty, please. Genre: Free verse and Confessional Poetry Theme: sad, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust.
