New Frame, New Look by Eliza Bumanlag

greeting a blurry vision
older as time files
one new pair with definition
design is what she buys
but it depends on her decision
“you’ll see a change in her eyes”
exactly because of her condition

Repleksyon by Janara Jaducana

Patapos na naman ang isang taon,

Nagamit mo na ba ang lahat ng pagkakataon?
Nagawa mo na ba ang lahat ng gusto mong gawin?

mga kulay sa buhay ko ni AJ Perez

kulay dilaw ang araw,
nakangiti sa aking pagbangon

kulay puti ang damit,
niyakap habang nagsusumikap

Kalendaryo by Alvien Duque

Nagbago na ang lahat,
tila nakalimutan na
ang mga salitang ikinalat.

Mga pangakong binitawan
naligaw na’t nilisan.
Mga kuwento’t biruan
tuluyan ng napag-iwanan.

hurricane in a paper cup by Jessica Lee

i think the best metaphor i’ve ever made
was comparing you to a hurricane in a paper cup
a personal liar, a double-edged blade
quick, strong, ruthless — no room to catch up

An Open Letter to Future Senior High Students

Dear Future Senior High School Students,

An Open Letter to Future Senior High School Students

Loving love by chuchukels

When will I get to figure out
 love on my own?

Not the ones I see 
clicking through Instagram stories; 
nor the complaining my friend does 
when her boyfriend doesn’t get it! 
even when she made it completely
obvious she wants that…

Self Love by brown & white

This time of the month 
When roses are everywhere, 
Chocolates are given — 
Love is all around

Looking back to November 
Falling for you on December
Loving you starts January…

hindi tayo magkakilala by nineight.

maraming araw na nag-iisa ako 
hawak ang panalangin na sana 
makilala ko na ang para sa akin 
hindi man ako namamadali, 
ngunit may hindi ako maiwasan.
