Choice

Choice

By Margaret Nicolas Decena Alpajora



Made a choice
I'm not going back
The past is the past
There's no changing that

I've made a choice
And it's over with him now
I told him just yesterday
That it wasn't working out

I feel really bad
Cuz at school I kept him secret
The whole school thought we'd broken up
Truth be told, I couldn't do it

But now the task is done
And I'm not tied down no more
Free to like my school crush with no guilt
And find a way to close the door

I feel bad I didn't tell him
That I wasn't really free
When I asked if he would like
To come to the school ball with me

But now I've made a choice.
I chose to let life flow, use my voice.
I chose to not look down, look up, rejoice!
The choice I made, I hope it's the right choice...

A Message of Thanx

I'm Losing It!!!But Hey...! ;)
Saturday 7 February 2009 (2353h)
By Margaret Nicolas Decena Alpajora



I can't stop thinking
And I'm going insane;
I can't sleep
Cuz there's too much in my brain.

Worried bout form 5
But crushing on this guy;
He's in my school
And we hang out all the time.

But I have a boyfriend
And it's just not working out;
For a month, it hasn't been the same
And we've had nothing to talk about.

I can't forget to mention
My bestfriend who be my ex;
It seems his friendship's slipping away
And I don't know what to do next.

The wierd thing is:- I'm happy
But my mind won't let me rest;
I'm up all night
Cuz of these thoughts I'm starting to detest.

There's not much I can say
But I think I should explain;
How some thoughts keep me happy
And how others cause me pain.

My ex is in the past
But I keep thinking 'bout the break-up,
And how it quickly turned our friendship
Into nothing more than grey dust.

Sometimes I cry at night
Cus of the loss of a friendship so dear,
And the memories of those happy days
Often make me shed a tear.

As for my current
I'm just too proud to break it off just yet,
He's really sweet but I can't keep stalling
Or I might one day regret.

Some friends say I should end it,
Some say that I should wait,
And others question
Why I had accepted anyway.

Straying from confusion
To the thoughts that keep my smile;
My crush, I see him everyday
And I knew him as a child.

He's funny, sweet & different
And, wow, can he beat-box great,
He's great to chill with and lots of fun
So often I get to class real late.

Past, present and future
Time cannot tell,
It throws us many challenges
We end up calling Hell.

But I realise a life with no challenge
Is just no life at all,
We can only do the best we can
And get up everytime we fall.

These horrors put before me
Are there to help me grow,
So I won't complain, I won't give up
What lies ahead, no one knows.

The problems of one teenager
Don't amount to much in our crazy world,
But all we can do is work hand in hand
Every boy and every girl.

So the world can be a better place
We help each other out;
Friends are there for a reason, that's why I'n not screamin'
Through all this pain and doubt.

So now I just wanna thank all my friends
And I really don't know where to start,
But they stayed with me from beginning to end
So thanks guys, from the bottom of my heart!

"I Love You Guyz!"

Inspired to be Inspired

Inspired to be Inspired
Tuesday 27 January 2009 (1237h)
By Margaret Nicolas Decena Alpajora



All of us search for inspiration
A question or answer or clue
To be inspired to inspire all
In what we write or say or do

Inspiration for a poem
Or a beautiful piece of art
Or to be inspired to carry on
After almost losing heart

Inspiration for a song
Or a piece of Hip-hop Magic
Or inspiration to get right back up
After experiencing something tragic

Inspiration for inspiration's sake
Inspiration for exposure
Inspiration to inspire more
Or inspired to seek closure

When it seems the world is moving too fast
Inspiration stops it in its tracks
It brings clarity and faith and hope
To bring confidence and security back

All who look to inspiration
Are looking the right direction
So if you're down or need to speak up
Inspiration ought be your affection.

My Last Confession

My Last Confession!!!
Monday 26 January 2009 (1416h)
By Margaret Nicolas Decena Alpajora



Timezones now and time spent then
Heart seeks where, Heart seeks when
True love lost then new love found
Happiness persued after losing ground

New beginnings, a broken heart to mend
From losing a lover who once was a friend
Sorrow decreasing but heartache lingers still
A blackhole left wide open to slowly refill

Depression not far, but joy patiently waiting
Sleepless nights from the nightmares my mind keeps creating
A captive I've become, My captor: Unaware
He doesn't know my heart's still trapped within his crystal stare

Aware of the cold drama; A secret wish within
To talk to this captor of the friendship growing thin
Ten years; A lifelong friendship, Destroyed in one harsh blow
No longer grieving the loss of a lover, but missing a bestfriend so

Secretly awaiting the day all this I can say
Secretly hoping all the tears have gone away
To move on, as he wants me to, is not to hard a task
I simply need to speak my mind, might he listen is all I ask

But this confession be not one way
I ask for him to have his say
So all the cards are laid down on the table
Thus a true friendship be once more enabled.

"I miss the good old days!"

Who Am I?

Who Am I?
By Margaret Nicolas Decena Alpajora
Thursday 22 January 2009 (1041h)

Who am I really?
Am i just a reflectionof what people make me out to be?
Inside me, I know that can't be true,
For that is my worst nightmare.
So who am I?
Am I a projection of what the world wants me to be?
No. That cannot be.
Otherwise, would i be happy with who i turn out to be?
So then... Who am I?
Who am I to want the best for myself?
Who am I to want a great life to live?
Who am I to be different,
Or call myself special?
Who am I to make my own choices,
Or not to do what i don't want to?
Who am I to think my decisions matter?
Who am I to believe that my desitiny is what I make it,
And not what the forces of the universe make it?
Who am I to decide my own fate?
Who am I to be my own person?
Then again... Who am I not to do any of the above?
Who am I not to be any of the above?
Who am I???
I am anyone I can be,
Anyone I want to be,
Anyone I choose to be!
Who am I!?
I am Meg!
I am Me!
I am... Who I am!!!

Months Relived

Months Relived
By Margaret Nicolas Decena Alpajora
Monday 5 January 2009



Shy and sweet caught hold of me
Friendship and kindness shown bright
Friendship to courtship to like, soon to love
A burning flame in dark cold night

A broken heart slowly mending
A new beginning from tragic end
Beauty unseen becomes forced to be noticed
By someone special and one great friend

Memories passed and those yet to be made
Never to regret or deplore
A new found adventure, a grateful restart
A new love to enjoy and explore

Love lost and love found, again and again
One love and one life to live
Nothing to lose and nothing to gain
But everything to receive and to give

Love is not feeling, emotion or thought
It’s decision, it’s sacrifice, it’s choice
A great risk to take, a pride-less fall from grace
But in the end, the soul will rejoice

The Downfall of Psychopath

The Downfall of Psychopath
Monday 5 January 2009 (1644h)
By Margaret Nicolas Decena Alpajora


One, Two, Three friends...
No. Thirteen.
Boys and Girls alike;
Contrasting fron everyone else -
As different as can be.
Thirteen unique young teenagers:-
Pushed together by what most call "Destiny".
The beginning of February 2008;
The first of many days they spent time together.
The chemistry of the friendship was immediate,
Closer and closer they became;
Not exactly the "Best of Friends",
But close, very close:-
Great, True, Happy!
Days to week and weeks to months,
Hanging out, having fun, enjoying the time spent together;
Growing even closer.
Growing closer and stronger... Together!
Birthays, Braais, Pool Parties, Movies;
Always there for each other.
They became family.
oving and trusting each other.
Problems and Tragidy;
Overcome by these friends again and again.
They were proud of their friendship:-
Their family.
Oters looked upon their friendship, their strong bonds, and smiled.
It was truely a fellowship to marvel upon.
To remind themselves of their bond, they named their family:-
They were "Psychopath"!

Soon, trouble came brewing.
As time passed, some forgot what Psychopath meant;
What it stood for.
Psychopath:-
Not a clique, not a label for others to associate them with,
But a friendship, a family... A Promise!
They had not become Psychopath for fun,
Not because they thought they were superior,
Nor because they thought it would be cool.
Notto become some "gang" or "group",
Nor to classify temselves as anything better,
But because they wanted a reminder;
A showcase to themselves of their bond; their great friendship.
Then Thunder struck!
In the eighth month of the eighth year of the second millenium,
Psychopath was hit hard.
Friendships within it began to shatter;
Because of the most stupid and crazy things:-
Secrets, Backstab, Relationship Endings and Misunderstandings.
The friendship and bond dubbed "Psychopath" began to fray.
More time passed and psychos wept, looking down and depressed;
Losing bonds is painful, Losing friendships is heartbreaking.
From friends to almost enemies to "I don't know"s.
In time they tried to "Fix" it,
But that became stressful,
So, one by one, they gave up.
They felt it was no longer worth trying to make right.
They announced to themselves and eachother;
That "Psychopath" was no more.
With remedy seemingly no longer an option,
Psychopath was deemed "Terminated"

In the city of Gaborone;
A young girl, fifteen years of age;
One whose friendship with a member of Psychopath was compromised.
One who had been one of the few who were desparate to mend the bond.
A member of the family; of Psychopath.
Logging on to a Social Network Website Online after too long,
She opens an old message thread used long ago.
It was being used again, It was Psychopath.
Talking, Planning, Anguishing, Arguing...
Without her,
For she hadn't been on for a while.
In it, they tried to fix the bonds,
Planning for a reunion,
But becoming stressed in the process,
So they stopped and said they quit.
She had no say.
It was a message thread;
Over the Internet!
One by one, one after the other,
Friend by friend:-
Qiut!
Quit Psychopath, but said and agreed they were still friends...
Just... Not in Psychopath.
"What!?" So the friendship was mended... but Psychopath wasn't?
"Huh???" She didn't understand...
Didn't "Psychopath" Represent the friendship?
Confused; She was very confused.
It seems they had forgotten.
Had they now taken Psychopath as a Label; A Group?
Something detachable; Removable.
They really didn't remember.
She was shellshocked!

After reading an hour long thread of these friends experiencing confusion and anxiety:-
From trying to save Psychopath to just giving up,
She reached the end of the message thread;
Where they quit.
They Quit!
One by one:- Every last one of them!
She felt hurt, especially since she was absent when this happened.
She had been heartbroken before,
But now, she was a new kind of heartbroken;
A worse one.
Psychopath and the people in it meant everything to her:-
She loved them; Her second family.
Shat had happened, she did not know,
But she knew it happened without her,
And that it hurt; Like a knife piercing through her insides.
But she decided that she wouldn't let it get the best of her.
She would not be ruined by something so trivial.
Not this time; Not ever again.
She vented using pen and paper for the pen is mightier than the sword,
And soon forgot the immence pain.
She accepted it.
She didn't like it... but she accepted it.
But before anything else, she said to herself and to them;

Ok, so psychopath is gone.
But no matter what, even if I'm the last, I'm a Psycho forever!
I won't up on the bond, the Love!
'Psychopath' has too many great memories for me to just throw it away!
I'm Sorry.

Now she stands, missing the old days:- The good times.
The last psycho, never giving in.
Who was she?
That girl...
That girl is Me!
A Psycho Forever!
No matter what!
MiniMe, Out!!!
