Poetry has never been her cup of tea but when the opportunity arose, she gave it a try. Now she’s standing here, proud to represent herself and The Philippine School.
Friendship (by Sophia)
I lay my hands on Atlas
My fingers brushing through distant lands
Far out of my wallet’s reach
Searching for nothing but a postcard promise
I spin the globe
And drift into nostalgia
Like a rocket
Blasting off into outer space
Travelling on tails of comets
To witness the world scattered before me
You showed me the entire universe in a matter of days
I used to wake up with stars on my lips
And a smile that drips constellations
But now
I am a speck of dust in space
An asteroid lay waste
Point you and point me are galaxies apart
Though our hearts never part
I look for you in everyone I meet
Like a satellite orbiting
Observing the infinity
Looking for pieces of our jigsaw parts
That only used to fit each other
They say your best friend is your other half
But you remind me I am already whole
And I knew that as long as we were together, we’d be just fine.
