The Tears Behind My Eyes

When I'm in a crowd, I am always the "clown" that's yearning to cry. But I must not. People around me thinks of me as a human with toweing strength as strong as a concrete wall of China.

But look at my eyes....
there's almost tears wanting to fall down....

I stood infront of the man I loved all my life, he chose to tell me he "tried someone new," and he was sorry. he waited for my to shed a tear, to show him my dash of my shattered heart, a pinch of my emotions. I stood there, pretending to be emotionless, feelingless, no sight of tears...not even a grain...I walked back standing firm to my ground showing no signs of weakness.

But he doesn't know...
I hide...the pain so well, the hurt that's tearing me apart,
It's there...in the corner of my eyes...
the barrel of tears fell as soon as I turned my back on him.

My mother thinks I am "stubborn" that I "chose to do things just like I want it." She said I have no sense of compasson or consideration. I don't even think if my words hurt others or not...that I should be sensitive and not cold. And my face looked firm... eyebrow up, pretending not to listen, that I didn't hear anything. I go on my way...like it didn't affect me. I remarked..."just say it all now so I can swallow all these hatred all at once...with just one fatal blow." And she contined on....more sarcasm, more torment. She thinks I am like a robot...witn no feelings and thoughts.

The trut h is, I am bleeding...
Like a bloody soldier wounded from a gun shots fired towards me...
waiting for the big missile to target me so everything would just be done.
and tears, these tears I hide are just too much to bear,
the barrels multiply in millions everyday.
It's there but it's unnoticed.
Stare at it closely, it's hidden BEHIND my eyes.

Once again, I go on. I move forward....
carrying hopes for better tomorrow...
facing people who continue to down me and negatively criticize me,
facing the circumstances that brought me my lasting strength today,
They don't see me weak and tired...
with tears falling from my teary eyes...
they see my masked statue of courage.

What they dont know is,
I am almost on the verge of my last strength...
Just waiting for that one last fatal blow to hit me...

Meanwhile, all these sorrow is in my eyes....
Look closer,
Stare at it even closer,
Search within....
You see my brown eyes,
crying with blood...
because of my wounded heart....
Do you see?
These are the tears FALLING ceaselessly,
BEHIND my CRYING eyes.

*NOTE: I know what a sad concept. I am just in these mood right now. Sorry....if I put you through this melacholy atmosphere.

PS. These are made especially for people who thinks I am coldhearted like a thick block of ice. Please, I am human, too. I have emotions,t oo. Please be sensitive.

MY SILENT REVERIES
writing is my passion. i created silent reveries years ago to vent out things i could not tell the world. it was my private, modern tech approach to scribbling my thoughts and emotions in a journal. in here, i can feely be who i am. i could cry my woes, i can love freely, i can grieve over a broken heart, i can celebrate the joys in my heart, i can rejoice with my accomplishments, i can tell stories of remarkable friendships and unforgettable connections i made with extraordinary people SECRETLY AND SILENTLY without worrying people might judge me. i hid under the name PINAY FREESTYLE.

but eventually, some people gained access to my secret place. so i opened my doors to them in the purpose that i could inspire them: to be better versions of themselves and to share themselves to the world. slowly, i embraced my readers as a part of my life. i welcomed the strange idea that my untold life stories and unconcealed revelations could be of help to others, to love and accept themselves as they are. and i, i came out from the animosity. i eventually became just the regular LEN - the nickname my family & friends call me.

i developed stories of love, of letting go, of falling in love all over again. i made great friendships. but if there's one thing i was particularly proud of, it was my undenying love for the LORD. i wrote and made soul searching, heart wrenching entries i entitled, "SPIRITUAL REVERIES" which you will find many here. it was my productive way to heal myself from twinge and while i am at it, i could also mend others spirits along the way and bring them back up to par with their faith and relationships with God. it has not stop there. it's still a constant journey.

and so, for as long as i can, i vowed to tell my memorable reflections,i have unmasked the hidden me. and the seeking and searching of life's meaning and purpose is not over. LIFE is a long road of discovering. and i still yet to discover many wonders of this world and satisfy my unending curiosity. but be warned. you can either love me or hate me. but i don't care. this is me: sripped and bare as i can be.

so i invite you into my chaotic unperfect world. join me in my whirlwind new travels of diving into the unknowns. let me share my life with you all over again. come in, as i tell you my SILENT REVERIES.

love,
len


DISCOVER ME: who is the lady behind the blogs?



"I want to have a personal light, the glow of oneself that comes from sheer willpower, the light of someone who has made important sacrifices in the name of things I think are important."

---Paulo Coelho's "Eleven Minutes"

my name is len. people always tend to judge me without discovering who i really am. i might look intimidating, a typical shop girl, and i act like a crazy party girl on the weekend. but i actually have brains. and i own an even bigger heart. the truth is, beyond the louis vuitton bags, beyond the lavish parties, the excessive passion to travel and the desire to get to know the world, if you got to know the REAL ME, i am really just a simple girl. my only desire is to be loved for who i am.
