​I'm nothing more than a puzzle in the flesh.

By Camila Jane B. Herrera

 

People are baffled by everything I'm saying. 

Because I'm covered in bruising. 

That have deeper meaning

They don't get anything. 

They aren't even thinking of trying.

 

For words, I don't untie my tongue. 

That is something that has to be spoken and heard. 

And when I opened my mouth, it was zipped turned. 

No one can tell which of the statements are false. 

Which of those are the truths?

 

Is there anything I need to know? 

It's deafening how quiet I am. 

My mania is starting to fade. 

My sigh has become more abrasive. 

My yell is deafening.

 

I’m nothing more than a puzzle in the flesh,

 

They've pondered around each letter. 

That concludes my remarks. 

Simply because they don’t grasp

How it feels to walk in my shoes 

They had misunderstood me.

 

I’m nothing more than a puzzle in the flesh,

 

And yet the truth, I'm just a mere 

There has never been a time when things were cheaper. 

There isn't a single question that has an answer. 

Things are yet to be surrender.

There are stories buried that no one knows about.

Blanco. He presently serves as the Head of the NCCA National Committee on Dramatic Arts, representing southern Mindanao. Dr. Blanco compares his life journey to a gasket "bamboo raft" that starts upstream in the mountain and flows down to the coast  as its destination.  Local culture and arts have always enthralled him since he was a child. For him, the traditional "Sugat" or "Salubong" on Easter Sunday, which commemorates

Dear Self, I Love You. By Camila Jane B. Herrera       What makes loving oneself so difficult? It may be because we were bred in a world that did not taught us to love ourselves. Some may dismiss self-love as unimportant, but it is one of the most crucial matters you can do for yourself.   Acceptance of oneself isn't always easy.    Embracing your mental anguish and letting yourself to be open and honest is a huge change toward self-love.Bearing a lot of unpleasant emotional responses such as envy, anger, and fury can be detrimental. We must start to tolerate not only the feelings which lead to love, happiness, and serenity in our life, but rather the ones that lead to dread, anxiety, and rage.   We choose love the same as we choose rage, bitterness, or anguish. Once we forgive, we can truly heal from it. So forgive yourself.   Always keep in mind that we have the option of choosing love.   Many people believe that self-love is self-centered.
