we'll be someone

soon everything would be over
all of the worries and pain would be gone
as we falter to a different horizon
we can land to the place where we've once imagined

we may be no one in this moment
but someday we'll be a someone
we may not move out of our shadows
but someday, light would shine through us

we don't need praises to shine
we want the experience for wisdom
we don't need to show off ourselves for popularity
all we need is to prove that we're worthy

and if one day you'll see us soaring
maybe someday you'll realize what we're once aiming
we've come through a lot of obstacles
and now we're almost close to what we've worked hard for

Blank Perfection

i'm staring at you now
please tell me we're okay
i'm not saying that we should end this
and if it will, please not in this way

we both know we're wrong
but why does it have to be like this?

i hate it when we fight
i hate it when you cry
i hate the words that leads to goodbye
we both know we're inlove
and we both feel the same
and no matter how we try
all we have is but a blank perfection

maybe it's the reason
why we got along so fast
we're both aware of our imperfections
and we know that we're not the same

we both know we're wrong
will this be last of our endless fight?

Heaven's Waiting

i'm listening to every breath
can you hang on for me?
will you leave me this easy?
if i could just cheat death
for you to stay with me..

hold on, just hold on
don't leave me this way

i would take you
to the places that we've never been
i would do anything
just to keep you with me
i won't let you go this easy
nor let Him take you away from me
but if heaven's really waiting for you
could i just steal a minute?
and be with you till your last breath


*the composition is about a guy who's girlfriend is dying.

it just popped up into my mind that's why i made a composition about it.

Blush-On

For Our AB Communication blockmates

BLUSH-ON
by Patricia Aquino,Patricia Abrihan,Djanine Antiporda & Dyren Dungca

verse I
unang araw ng eskwela
walang klasrum, hiwa-hiwalay pa
lahat natataranta
saan na kmi ppnta?

masakit na ang mga paa
sa kakaakyat-baba
naglilibot, nahihilo, di makita

CHORUS
sa aklatan nagsimula
ang pagbubuo ng barkada
knya-knyang tipon at porma
lahat nakikipgkilala

ngunit tila nakapagtataka
bakit hindi "raw" ngkakaisa?
klase'y nahati sa 2
na ngcmula lmng sa hiya

VERSE II
pnagdikit-dkit ang lamesa
sa cafeteria t'wing kakain na
nghhnap ng ginto
bgo isubo ang kutsara

BRIDGE
ngunit aming p22nayan
lahat ay mgkkaibign
mgkkptid ang 2ringan
sa nbubuong samhan

ENDING
nung una akala nila
di na mgkksundo pa
ngunit npgtanto namin na
"blush-on" lng pla ang pgkakaiba

Hiram Na Buhay

HIRAM NA BUHAY
by: Patricia V. Aquino

I
bkt ganito, bkt ganyan?
sinong may gawa at ano ang dahilan?
ang bansang puno ng mga katanungan,
ano na nga ba ang kalagayan?

II
sino ang ating sinisisi
sa mga problemang dumarating?
tanungin mo nga ang 'yong sarili,
gubyerno lang ba ang tiwali?

CHORUS
dito sa ating hiram na buhay
lahat tayo'y pantay-pantay
sa bawat isa nakasalalay
upang matamasa ang tagumpay

III
ano ba ang nararapat,
kung 'san ang nag iisa ay hindi sapat?
bakit hindi mo ko tulungan
na sagipin ang lahat sa kahirapan?

IV(bridge)
alam kong hiram lamang 'tong buhay
bkt pa tyo magsasayang ng oras?
kaya't sa bansang tila isang pilay
tayong lahat ang magsisilbing saklay

Paano Ang Bukas

I
isigaw mo sa mundo
sabihin ang nais mo
kung nais mong tumakbo
sige, sabay na tayo

II
iwanan mo muna ang problema
kung gusto mo tutulungan kita
sarili'y palayain pansamantala
nang maramdaman ang pagiging malaya

CHORUS
wag isipn kung paano ang bukas
asahan mong adito lang ako
di mo kailangang mangamba
sabay tayong maglalakbay
dito sa mundong puno ng surpresa

III
sa lubid mo itali
mga problema mo at pighati
ako ang magiging saksi
sa pagpapalaya ng iyong sarili

BRIDGE
wag kang matakot, kasama mo ako
sabay tayong tatakbo, ako'y asahan mo.

when we hesitate

can love be really blind,
if it loves beyond what our eyes can see?
can love be mysterious,
if it sometimes invades privacy?

how stupid can we get
in loving someone we cannot forget?
how can we weigh things right
if love is blocking our sight?

does love deserve words?
can it justify the truth?
is it being absurd
if it promises you forever?

is it enough or is it unfair,
to love without reciprocating
should you wait in despair
and realize that it's all for nothing?

alone,..abandoned...

i

another rain on a sunny day

that washes away every inch of light

i tried to wipe them all away

but it keeps on blinding my sight



ii

time kept all it's memories

and trapped them in every drop

and now all that's left is nothing

as it dries out in waiting



iii

you took the light when you left

not even a spare to see whats ahead of me

you left me bind sighted

w/ all those visions of pretentious light

i

each word tells a mystery

every action implies confusion

each glance is an imagination

and every dream is a wish for reality

ii



that look seems different

it's a bewildering truth

a truth that lies to the beholder

and then creates fantasy



iii

those words are smooth

as if it means more than what is said

or it is as shallow as what it means

that it deepens no word



iv

these dreams are wishful

strings of hope are attached in every image

but these picture gets vague as i go nearer

and strings get thinner as i hold onto hope



v
those actions are deceiving

and i melt with it as i flow into belief

but something might have stopped me

to keep on believing in my own lies



vi

all this time it seems that im alone

thought someone just got lost in my way

but it's just me and paramoia

and thought that someone might have shared lies w/ me. . .

ha, ha, ha!^^,

just when i thought i've figured it out
i found myself so lost in your words
i thought i knew what it's all about
so i never even try to doubt

but this time i'll trust my intuition
i've sorted out the facts from fiction

i've made a mistake of falling
don't even try to call me mine!
you told me i'm your everything
sorry.. i won't believe that line!

save your words for your other woman
coz you're just like any other man
then i'll save my ha,ha,ha's for you
and better practice what you're gonna do

it's now my turn to play this game
let's see who will end up in shame
you will never see me crying
but you'll surely see me laughing

Is This the End?

can you hear me?
there's something that i want you to know
that i'm dying to tell you
how much you mean to me

my heart's shouting in silence
and it's drowning in tears
can you give us a chance
and take back what we have for years?

breathing gets harder
in each passing day
i can't seem to get over
the mem'ries i cant erase

will it end this easy?
do we have to say goodbye?
we both have said our sorry's
but still, we're meant to cry.

can we save ourselves from this?
and bring back everything we've missed
