Me and Minorie (Balagtasan)

Me:

Dagger through the heart
Poisons the mind
Spirit crumbles..

Minorie:

dagger through the heart,
though it pierces deep,
it shall heal on its own...
poison to the mind,
fogged as it may be,
it still thinks for you...
spirit crumbles,...
fall and hurt,
but yer spirit
allow not to break!!!!!

Me:

for I am mortal,
emotions in upheaval,
hard to control
when down, is your morale.

Minorie:

weaknesses, a mortal has
and emotions, break us apart
but weakness has its opposite
I can spell it out...
S T R E N G T H, am sure u have...

Me:

even pressure tank has its limit
every mountain has its summit
sometimes things cannot be rebuilt
with just a mere stitch.

Minorie:

mountains have summits,
so we can be atop it and feel GREAT
things cannot be rebuilt,
but we can make BETTER ones
pressure tanks have limits,
but YOU AS A PERSON
has boundless OPTIONS

Me:

potentials are enormous when unrestrained
but when both hands are tied and chained
options are limited even to saints
more so with someone emotionally deranged

Minorie:

from emotional turmoil,
unrestraint yerself,
it's at these moments that,
all we need to do
Is KNEEL and look UP..
