'PAALAM'

 

Gaano kahirap ang salitang... 'PAALAM'?

Gaano katagal matanggap ang pamamaalam?

 

Kung sa bawat paalam may mga maiiwan,

Sa bawat pamamaalam maraming naiwan.

 

Gaano kasakit sa maiiwan ang pamamaalam?

Kung sa bawat naiwan hindi lahat ay nakapagpaalam.

 

Kung sa bawat katapusan ay kailangang mag-paalam,

Sa bawat huling sandali hindi mawawala ang pamamaalam.

 

Sa mga maiiwan, ang sakit ay hindi madaling mawala,

Hindi madaling matanggap ang anumang pamamaalam.

 

Ngunit dumadating ang katapusan na hindi mapipigilan,

Hindi kailanman maiiwasan ang katapusan na mahirap pigilan.

Stop Everything

 

There are times that I wanted to stop

I just wanted to sleep forever,

Because the emptiness is too much at top

I cannot hold on to it longer.

 

I can smile and laugh

I am not just pretending or anything,

Though the truth it is too tough

I cannot longer stop my longing.

 

I just simply want to stop

I want to do nothing anymore,

I just want to flop

I wanted nothing to look for.

 

These feelings is too over whelming

I cannot longer feel happy,

I can laugh but nothing is reaching

I am no longer feeling lively.

 

I keep breathing yet I am dying

Deep within I feel empty,

I do not want these feeling

I just want to stop everything that makes me feel so empty.
