Leave the Lady Alone

HEALING

Leaving someone alone is not an easy task.

Leaving someone alone puts me in fear.

That I might be forgotten in her time to heal.

That I might lose her forever.

It's a risk.

Tsk, tsk.

Try Harder, Idiots

CHARACTER ASSASINATION

Throughout my career, I have had my ups and downs. I started from somewhere, and I wasn't the best at the beginning. But I had tough lessons, and I learned from experience. From it all, I have managed to establish myself now as a man with a reputation for being the hardest working individual and a person that epitomizes professionalism.

I am not the best, but I work everyday smart and hard as I can, with that goal in mind. I deliver. I give results. I walk the walk, and prefer to not even talk at times. My work ethic and the results, speak for themselves.

I have always managed to create strong and wonderful ties with people I work with. Because I am easy to work with. I make things happen. Proof of this, ask anyone, and they would have no qualms of hiring me, or working with me. Because they know me, and they know my capabilities. And they know how I build relationships. And they know how wonderful it is to work with me.

To fabricate stories about me being unprofessional, and performing at a level below expectations, is simply a futile attempt to tarnish what I have worked so hard for; a good reputation.

Anywhere I go, I have always conducted myself in the proper manner. I was brought up by my parents well, and I carry their names wherever I go and whoever I am with. To say that I lack professionalism, courtesy, and values, is to say that I am a disgrace to them. I refuse to accept that.

I have not always seen eye to eye with everybody, but I have always been straightforward and truthful with my dealings, those who choose to make it personal and try destroy my image, find that it's a feat close to impossible. This is because, I have always and will always work my ass off to make sure the finger cannot be pointed back at me for whatever reason.

To say that I have not the talent for a position I hold, is simply ridiculous. I have results to show, and numbers to back my credentials. Not to mention an entire group of people who would back me up when I say that I have raised the bar so high that it would simply be too hard to top it.

To say that I am a person that people find difficult to do business with is a lie. Everyone I have worked with and understands the nature of whatever undertaking it is that we are facing, knows I am the easiest person, and quite frankly, maybe the best person for it. Simply because I pour my heart and soul to any task. Not one person,who have worked with me closely will ever say that I am a difficult person to work with or work for.

To malicously twist the truth and to fabricate stories to make me look inadequate and inefficient to hide their own shortcomings and misgivings, are cowardly acts of self-preservation.

Pick another target. Not me. Because I will not let you manslaughter my reputation and integrity. Not that you can anyway.

You can try. But seriously, try harder.

I live and breathe work ethic, values, and professionalism.

Try harder.

I am Neo. Full name Edison Marcelo Samson.

I have learned from my mistakes well.

And I have worked my ass off for the reputation and image I have.

and this is not an act, by the way.

This is me. I live and breathe work ethic, values, and professionalism.

Fabricating baseless accusations, blatantly lying, and malicously accusing me of things, simply won't hold any ground when everybody else sees the truth.

That I live and breathe work ethic, values, and professionalism.

So seriously, try harder.




Mark my words, you won't get away with this.

too late, mate....

STAGE 4


I am not invincible.

I am not invulnerable.

Sharp or stabbing pain? "oh it's nothing...."

Heartbeat racing? "probably just a heart burn or something."

Pain in my tummy? "hyperacidity.."

Half of your body feels numb? "i'm just tired, that's all."

Everything I feel off or wrong, I dismiss as "nothing."

Now, I find out, life may very well dismiss me...

What if you find out, that you are not invincible?

What if you find out, your not invulnerable?

What if you find out, you are not superman.

That you can get sick, probably is sick, and can die?...

Join me, as we are about to find out...

Here It Comes

Aweful. Awesome.


There comes a time in one's life that questions are plenty

There comes a time like doubts roam freely

It's like a headless chicken thoughlessly running

Like a cockroach without a head, aimlessly surviving



There comes a time in one's life when you grow weary

There comes a time when one feels tired and dreary

like a drama actor tired of all the drama

like a soldier tired of the war trauma



There are times of defeat for battles fought

There are times of mistakes, the wrongs, and the missed,

There are times that it's your fault and there are times that it's not

Ther are times you just can't help but feel pissed.



such a time comes

a time of hoplessness

a time of uncertainty

a time of helplessness

and of mediocre mockery



Some call it their trying times

Some call it their life's struggles

An experts' jargon states it as a life crisis





I call it everyday.



every damn single day.





take a pause, a long deep breath...

suck it all in.

walk it off.

count 1 to 10.





Deal with it.

The Collective of One


Color: Light-black


I have asked myself repeatedly,
A hundredth, a thousandth, a millionth time,
Where am I taking me?
To the far unreachable corners of my soul,
Where my ideals cannot and do not follow...


I have asked myself more than once,
A millionth, a thousandth, a hundredth instance,
Why am I going there?
To shed light and leave a lamp where I find my id most dark?
Or to indulge in unsanctioned pleasures and be stained by them forever?


When I felt I needed to be different,
It is when I failed and conformed….
When I thought of goodness, and principles, faith and ideals
It is when I crumbled and twisted my b-systems….


I continue to explore uncharted parts of me
In my desire to understand (or maybe It’s my excuse)….
I am, and will remain a man who’s free
Then again Liberty may be part of this big ruse.


Oh my, oh my, oh my….
May I be remembered best,
Not for my affairs with the black depths of my spirit
But for the struggles I put up--to remain holding hands with Light,
Though the rest of me trapped, enchained by gloom


Oh my, oh my, oh my,
May I leave behind a lasting memory,
One not of my bruised, wounded, and sin-laden soul
Not of the letters of the alphabet that make up my name,
But by one statement, I proudly exclaim


I AM….

the never-say-die, I-believe-I-can-fly,
Never-stopped-dreaming, always-believing,
Never-too-late-to-keep-the-faith, the-never-quitting,
Always-kicking, will-not-stop, from-here-to-there,
To-end-and-back-to-start, the-biggest-heart,
who’s…. always….. done…. his part!


The writer in me, says this sucks.
The kid in me says it’s a masterpiece.

The promdi in me says this is too much,
The ego in me says it’s but right and just.

The me in me, says this is the end.
But HE, who’s in me, says we’ve barely begun.


Softly, as I continued to swim in my self-cast murk,
There be a whisper, “Be my pen.”



The world is one big S.O.P






Sheet of paper.

Don't Put the Dot Just Yet

All things said and done....

What now? The philanderings of uncertainties

and the flirtations with destiny...

A dear price was sought as payment

And guilty was the sentiment...


What now? After the fantastic and amazing travails

and pleasure and pain bound roller coaster trails,

the track derailed for what might be permanent.

and there is nothing left but to just lament....


What now? A part of my life that is distinct

May now be considered as gone and extinct

And what I risked and what I thought would be

For such a loss did not prepare me....


Should I continue to hope against hope

Even when doors are shut tight and roped?

Should I continue to dream of intertwined paths?

When dead ends are now created by the wraths....


What is unseen remains just that...

unseen...

What is the future remains just that...

the future...

And what is my hope remains just that...

hope.


The everlasting kind.

Tengo Que Ir

Will the Real Me, Please Stand Up....
(stay standing, stay still, hold your ground...)



A thousand miles from the Philippines...

A thousand miles from home.

A thousand miles from family.

A thousand miles from those you love...


A thousand miles and alone.

The solitude makes one think, makes one realize, makes one wonder.


The choices made and to be made,

The mistakes, as well as the right ones.


I have been both selfish and selfless. But I guess my greatest fault, is that when it counted most, I was not able to tell one from the other. I have hurt people, be it unintentional. I have caused pain, thinking it is well worth the joys. The worth of something is not for me to say, it was never my place to say.

Now, I only wish nothing but happiness for those that I have hurt. For them to get what they deserve. At the back of my mind, I still wish that I will be a big part and a big chunk of their lives. But that comes only second to my prayers of happiness for them.

I want to make a difference now. In my life, in their lives, and in others. I want to make a difference, in a big way.....

That is why, I will start with the small things.


I still don´t know if I am making the right choice, or if I will make the right decisions in the future. All I know is that now, when it counts the most, I am trying.




bugtong-dugtungan:

Hold on then let go.
Let go then hold on.
Then let go, then hold on.
and so on, and so on, and so on...
