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.

Galingggg! 🙌🏻 Parang dini-define mo ako, Ate ay. Ganiyang-ganiyan ako whenever I feel so down eh, like malapit nang mag-breakdown dahil sa bigat na nakapasan sa mga balikat ko.
