eskwela

this dream that came true,
a prayer answered,
a long wait,
a long time,
tomorrow is here.

keep the fire burning,
see it through their eyes,
though you may see nothing but glum,
turn it to gleam,

dangerous minds is not only a movie after all,
reality is so much more,
it cuts you through the core,

tears may fall,
as you lower your head
to welcome a day of defeat,

but,
keep the fire burning,
keep the fire burning,
pass it on...

i am missing home so much =( i miss riding the jeepney every night even if it's uncomfortable. i miss coming home to the laughter of zaila, ayn and alex. i miss eating adobo, paksiw na pata and sinigang. i miss the simple pleasures that davao spoils me with...a beautiful scenery, the picturesque view of mt. apo in the morning, the sea - an extension of myself. i miss the long walks i take to the pink sisters convent. i miss my nanay and tatay. i miss seeing them together still so in-love with one another after all these years. i miss my dog. i miss my tiny room. i miss everything about my country, my heritage...
