"I will be."

"I will be."

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

I am tired of being sorry

for things that I should not be.

I thought about your judgements

but guess what? I am free.

II

I don't give a damn about what you think

and I can't wait for you to grow up.

You can't go wallowing like a child

In the times that you need to man up.

III

I will not be sorry

for the things that I needed to do.

Times were impossible and destiny ,

well she wasn't calling you.

IV

So I took all the hits

lost sleep , lost money , lost time

You said I had a choice

but that was never ever mine.

V

And I am still here

Unbowed by that idiotic gaze

Angry , Doubt and Fear

That was never ever my place.

VI

So I will not be tired

and I will be who I have always been.

The Champion chosen

long before you were even here.

"Ang sakit ng mga may sakit"

"Ang sakit ng mga may sakit"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

Ako po ay may sakit

Ubo ng mama

pagdurugo ng ale

pagpunta at balik sa banyo ni Ate

II

Gusto ko na pong...

...magpahinga 

...umuwi

...uminom ng gamot

III

Gusto ko na pong...

...huminto

...magpatuloy

...maging kapakipakinabang

IV

At ako ay may sakit din

Na naghihirap magtiwala

sa mga sinasabi na di tugma

di tugma sa sintomas ni Ate at Kuya.

V

So ano ang gagawin sa mga may sakit?

Na gawa gawa lamang para magpahinga

So ano ang gagawin ng di na nagtitiwala?

VI

Gusto ko nang...

...manakal

...mang alog

...mag tanong

VII

Paulit ulit na lang tayo

sa hinaba haba ng panahon.

Sinungaling ka pa din

at ako ay nagpupumilit huminahon.
