Poetry (derived from the Greek poiesis, "making"), also called verse, is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language − such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre − to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, a prosaic ostensible meaning. A poem is a literary composition, written by a poet, using this principle.
Poetry has a long and varied history, evolving differentially across the globe. It dates back at least to prehistoric times with hunting poetry in Africa and to panegyric and elegiac court poetry of the empires of the Nile, Niger, and Volta River valleys. Some of the earliest written poetry in Africa occurs among the Pyramid Texts written during the 25th century BCE. The earliest surviving Western Asian epic poetry, the Epic of Gilgamesh, was written in Sumerian.
Early poems in the Eurasian continent evolved from folk songs such as the Chinese Shijing, as well as religious hymns (the Sanskrit Rigveda, the Zoroastrian Gathas, the Hurrian songs, and the Hebrew Psalms); or from a need to retell oral epics, as with the Egyptian Story of Sinuhe, the Indian epic poetry, and the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Ancient Greek attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song, and comedy. Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form, and rhyme, and emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from more objectively-informative prosaic writing.
Poetry uses forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretations of words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and rhythm may convey musical or incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony, and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly, figures of speech such as metaphor, simile, and metonymy establish a resonance between otherwise disparate images—a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or rhythm.
Some poetry types are unique to particular cultures and genres and respond to characteristics of the language in which the poet writes. Readers accustomed to identifying poetry with Dante, Goethe, Mickiewicz, or Rumi may think of it as written in lines based on rhyme and regular meter. There are, however, traditions, such as Biblical poetry, that use other means to create rhythm and euphony. Much modern poetry reflects a critique of poetic tradition, testing the principle of euphony itself or altogether forgoing rhyme or set rhythm.
In an increasingly globalized world, poets often adapt forms, styles, and techniques from diverse cultures and languages. Poets have contributed to the evolution of the linguistic, expressive, and utilitarian qualities of their languages.
A Western cultural tradition (extending at least from Homer to Rilke) associates the production of poetry with inspiration – often by a Muse (either classical or contemporary).
In many poems, the lyrics are spoken by a character, who is called the speaker. This concept differentiates the speaker (character) from the poet (author), which is usually an important distinction: for example, if the poem runs I killed a man in Reno, it is the speaker who is the murderer, not the poet himself.
Explaining my depression to my mother
mom,
My depression is a shape shifter. One day it is as small as a firefly in the palm of a bear,
the next it’s the bear.
On those days i play dead until the bear leaves me alone.
I call the bad days the dark days.
Mom says: try lighting candles.

Nothing, Something, Anything and Everything

On a journey through the vastness of the dark,
Where nothing and something, a dance they weave,
And anything and everything, their tales conceive.
Nothing, a whisper, unseen and untold,
A void that...
Somewhere Nowhere
In the realm where dreams collide with reality,
An ethereal expanse of boundless possibility,
Lies a place unknown, where souls are set free,
Somewhere Nowhere, where wonder dwells eternally.
In hues of twilight, where shadows dance and play,
Whispers of secrets...

In a world of letters and lines,
Where sunlit hair of gold intertwines,
A maiden fair, with eyes so bright,
Her laughter echoes in the night.
Beside her, stands a loyal mate,
With bond unbroken by the hands of fate,
Yet in their midst, a shadow grows,
A secret...

Hindi ka maganda.
Wag mong isiping—
ka mahal mahal ka,
Tandaan mong—
Kalakip ng pagmamahal ang pagdurusa.
Totoo na—
Hindi ka nya gusto.
Tanggapin mong—
Hindi sya para sayo,
Hindi ka nya tinuring na mundo,
Wag mo ng ikulong ang sarili mo.
Ikaw ang susi ng sarili mong pinto.
Dahil—

Contradicting Feelings
I dont want to see you
But i really miss you
I dont want you to see me
But i want you to miss me
I keep saying that give up
But i still keep my hopes up
I really really hated you
But i still kept on loving you
I keep my distance from you
But i want to stand close to you...
Day 2
(paki basa lang yung Day 1 muna kung hindi pa)
Bigkas na taimtim sa harap ng salamin
makamtan kahit pangalan ako'y umaamin
ka'y Bathala diing ipinapanalangin
sa araw na ito ako sana'y butihin
Suot ang pinakamagandang polo
pantalon wala namang maiterno
palakad lakad paikot ikot ako'y...
Day 1
Freshmen tayo nun sa isang pamantasan sa Maynila
at sa gilid ng aking mga mata ika'y nakita
Una'y di ko napansin mata mo pala'y nakatingin din
enrolment line ng Registrar parang naging hardin.
Puso ko'y nagpumiglas at umalma
sa simpleng kagandahan di yata ako tugma
At sa mahaba mong...
magkaparehong riles ng dadaanan
ngunit magkaibang destinasyon
ang uuwian.
huwag tayong umibig
sa loob ng tren,
kung hindi natin sila kasabay
hanggang sa pagbaba.

hindi tayo handa
sa isang aksidente
ngunit nais nating
magmaneho
ng isang karwahe
upang dumako
sa nobela ng ibang tao
ngunit hindi tayo nakakalabas
sa kanilang kwento
dahil walang nagiging handa
sa wakas.

I hate nice girls
Just exchanging pleasantries with them makes me curious
And texting each other makes me restless.
If I get a call, for the rest of my day I will keep checking my call history with a stupid grin on my face.
But I know truth
They are just being nice,
Anyone nice to me is nice...

"Aking Mundo"
Isang espesyal na araw para sa ating dalawa
Maligaya na akong mapasaya ka
Matagal na panahong hinintay ay dumating na
At alam kong ito ang sayoy magpapaligaya
Pero bago ang lahat gusto kong magbalik tanaw
Sa masasayang alaala ng ating buhay
Dahil mayroon akong isang ikaw...
"Aking Mundo"
Isang espesyal na araw para sa ating dalawa
Maligaya na akong mapasaya ka
Matagal na panahong hinintay ay dumating na
At alam kong ito ang sayoy magpapaligaya
Pero bago ang lahat gusto kong magbalik tanaw
Sa masasayang alaala ng ating buhay
Dahil mayroon akong isang ikaw...
01
Kaibigan, kamusta? Ako ba'y kilala pa?
Ang dami mo nang katoto, masaya.
Diba't yan ang pangarap mo? Ayan na.
Masaya akong masaya ka
Pero teka. Teka. Teka. Ang dami.
Ako yata'y natatabunan na...
02
Kaibigan, kamusta? Tagal nating di nagkita
Di ako nagtatampo, alam kong abala ka
Ako? Okay lang...
UPUAN
Dati ay dito ka, doon naman ako
Tandang tanda ko pa, magkalayo tayo
Sinusulyapan lang kita sa malayo
Mga ngiti mo ang siyang ligaya ko
Dati ay dito 'ko, kalapit pa kita
Naalala pa noong lumapit ka
Tanong mo "'tong bangko ba'y may may-ari na?"
"Wala" ang tugon ko, puso ko ri'y wala
Dati...
Siguro nga'y mali, na ikaw ay iwan,
Pinagpalit ka at dagliang nilisan!
Ngayo'y nagsisising di ka masumpungan,
Hinahanap kita ng di lang minsanan!
Ngayon ay nasaan? Ngayon ay nasaan?!
Ating nakaraan, pwede bang balikan?
Pagkakamali ko, pwede mo bang takpan?
Bago ang buhay ko'y maging kabaliwan!
Tears fall down
Even though I try to smile like a clown
I can't contain it -- this feeling of unease
Now you're gone, my heart is like a jigsaw puzzle with a missing piece
My sky is so dark
It's like I'm being torn apart
I thought that without you, it would be easier
But it's the other way...
Hindi ko alam kung maibabalik pa ba,
O kung sakali man ay may mababalikan pa.
Ang sabi kasi nati'y ang lahat ay tapos na,
Ngunit ngayon tila ba ay may nagbabadyang isa na namang bagong kabanata.
Maibabalik pa ba natin ang dati?
Hindi, ayoko. Wag na nating ibalik yung dati.
Hindi ba? Sinaktan...
Paano nga ba makalimot?
Paano nga makalimot?
Mga tanong ng mga taong sawi
Mga tanong ng mga taong nasaktan dahil umibig.
Pero pano nga ba makalimot?
Paano nga ba?
Mahal, turuan mo akong makalimot.
Gaya ng pag limot mo saakin.
Pag limot sa pinag samahan natin.
Natatawa ako dahil nalimutan mo...

Its called "How Could You Forget"
Bypassing my focal skills
F***ing with each other...
Great poets write, amazing feels. I feel.
I feel, I cry, My heart, is weak from this
Going crazy, I can't take it- F**k them.
Low blows, snakes in the grass, watch em, They sting.
They hiss and plead, dont be fooled by this love.
Say anything, To believe them.
I hate talking, They will talk to...
Life is simple, Death is hard- Try it.
S*** could be it, Whatever it may be.
I'm turning up, Got a cup. Vest up
I love, live,life- I hate fake emotions.
This is hundred , I don't care- F**k you.
Hate kills slow know, That I have savages.
Feeling like this, Run up on that B**ch.
Now Sh**s been...
