Dearest blue fledgling of a worn old tree
Shaking with wondering eyes...

I sat gently underneath the lights,
inhaling this aromatic barbecue smoke...

Run away like a true coward.
Be someone I can never be...

Let me breathe
Let me breathe in these blades...

Usually glowing and feeling bright
To seem like there’s no pain in sight...

Out in the open of a quiet day
Under the hot and steaming beam of sun...

Don’t make me, as I already am
Teasing distantly with set of knives...

Square, spotty and full
Simple, scarred and a little rough...

Brave soul with everything to lose,
you wonder about the yellows and blues intent...

I’ve wandered blindly for so long.
Aimlessly living my dreadful days...

Umaapaw ang tubig sa dagat,
umuurong, bumabalik, naglalakad...

I can smile away
And be on the gray...
