Cry when you Fall Down and Stand after the Fall

Sa isang eskinita na madilim

Kung saan ilaw ay patay sindi

May isang nilalang na nakayopyop sa tabi

Parang basang sisiw at di mapakali

Mahahalatang may dinadalang mabigat

At mag isa niyang iniaangat

Iniinda ng mag-isa ang bigat

Kaya hitsura'y mukhang hirap na hirap

Sinubukan niyang tumayo

Tinuwid ang paang pilit tumitiklop

Mababanaag ang determinasyon

Sa mata nya apoy ay nandoon

Desisyo'y hindi matitinag

Pursigidong sumuong

Manalo o matalo, sya'y susulong!

Itataas ang kamay para sa misyon

Isa, dalawa, tatlong hakbang

Bigla siyang huminto

Napaluhod at napaupo, nasapo ang ulo

Unti, unti apoy sa mga mata nya'y naalis

Determinasyon sa mata'y biglang napawi

Napalitan ng luha ng hinagpis

Wala na ang bakas ng pag-asa at ang nandun nalang ay ang pagsuko

Sumuko na, tatlong hakbang palang ang nagagawa

Humiga at tumitig sa kalangitan

Kalangitan na ni isang bituin ay walang maaaninag

Bituin na maaari sanang mag bigay ng kunting liwanag

Ngunit sa di malamang kadahilanan ay natatabunan ng luhang pumapatak

Luhang punong puno ng pait at sakit

Luhang di basta basta matitighaw dahil sa naipong sakit

Pilit nyang pinipigilan ngunit patuloy lang ang pag bagsak

Naipon at ngayon ay parang gripong tuloy lang sa pag agos

Katatagan ng loob ay tuluyan ng natunaw

Tinanggap sa sariling tapos na

Nagpatangay nalang sa kalungkutan at iniiyak lahat ng sakit

Para sa bukas.

Isa, dalawa, tatlo, apat, lima.

Limang segundo

Sa loob ng limang sigundo tinanggap nya ang lahat

Inilabas lahat lahat

Ginawa nya para sa panibagong bukas

Pinagbigyan ang sarili na maging mahina

Sa kakaunting sandali hinayaan nyang lamunin sya ng dusa

Inilabas pati ang huling patak ng luha

Isa, dalawa, tatlo,

Sa loob ng tatlong segundo

Bumangon siya at huminga

Malalim na may tunog

At sa hingang malalim na yon

Doon na mahahalatang nakakita sya ng bagong pag asa

Pinag bigyan lang ang sarili

At ngayon nga ay baon niya ang determinasyon na umangat muli

Sa bagong lakas na meron siya

Sa bagong siya na mas malakas at di basta basta

Di na papatinag sa mga problema

Tuloy ang buhay, para sa pamilya

We all have this phase in our life where we let ourselves succumbed into our own weakness. We let our vulnerability show to others. But there are some people that can't do that. They will hide it as the best as they can. They will hide in fears because they gotten weak. They do so because they don't want anyone to be affected to that weakness. They will face it alone and suffer alone. I think that is okay too. Some just prefer that because they can solve it on their own. They are more comfortable to do it on their way.

They just have to release all of their pain in the ways that they know. All alone. There are instances in our life too that everything is just so hard to accept and that even if we fight for it. It's still hopeless because that is all in there to it. And the only thing that you can do is to accept it all. Accept, forgive and move on. With the new strength that you gained on the past experiences, you'll get through all of the problems that may came in your way. Just like what happened to the character on that poem.

It's okay to be weak. It's okay to cry. It's okay to whine and it's okay to shout. If that's still not enough it's okay to get mad. Yeah, it's okay. No one will judge you if you decided to do it. You are just a human who has weaknesses. You are prone into different emotions. You are hurt and it's okay to say what you want to say. You are mad because you can't just take all the pain. It's not like you are made of stone not to feel anything. So don't be too hard on yourself. Don't be to harsh to yourself.

Free yourself. Free your mind. And free your heart. Just be be who you are right now. The real you before this tragedy.

Ehehehe, so that's the summary of my Poem. I used Tagalog on this one so sorry to my readers from the other part of the world. But i put the english summary of it like the whole meaning. I hope you read in until here so. Thank You!

And y'all know that I published article using our mother language every once in a while. But today is extra special because August is our National Language Month, yes in the Philippines. I love my language and to be honest there are Tagalog words that is really beautiful. I mean all of it are it's just that there are more into it.

But anyways, I hope you still read every words that I wrote here specially the Tagalog poem. You can just check it's translation tru Google Translate if you want though I am not sure if the result ks 100% accurate. But if you still want it then gooooo.
