Pagpalangga ako Niya
pastel colors brush the sky
as water color memories fall on my cheeks
the sun sets on all things
even dreams
i must wake and realize
i am sick
i am dying
i have to leave
breathe.
it's all part of the plan
you didn't do anything wrong
it just
happened
breathe.
what did i do? what did i eat? what did i do to deserve everything i love
to be washed away in the sea
my parents' faces
the horror
it was not a happy homecoming
eight doctors later and the results still negative
gotta stay positive
what
how
why
breathe.
it's all apart of the plan
it's all apart of the plan
it's all apart-
breathe.
there are still days i wish
i was back on those sand floors
but i am here now
waiting
but not complaining
speaking the language that i found God
Makakita siya sa akon
He sees me
Ginabati ako niya
He hears me
Ako ang sa Iya nga Bata
I am His Daughter
Pagpalangga ako Niya
He loves me
breathe.
