Analysis of Unassured

Eric Cristo 2001 (Palapag, Northern Samar)



I cannot explain what I feel,
I cannot focus on my meal.
This feeling encompasses my whole cerebrum,
My body's going steady inside my small room.

Oh pretty boy, you're a phenomenon!
I do not know dude, on what's going on.
Your appearance is like the First Law of Motion,
You're the unbalanced force that shaked my emotion.

Oh pretty girl, you're a phenomenon!
I'm thinking of you even if it's dawn.
You're always at my boron, actinium and potassium,
You are the reason on why I always want to resume.

I cannot identify this feeling,
Yet, I am always anticipating.
But soon this fragile mood will heal,
Starting from my head down to heel.
