This poem is dedicated to people suffering from toxic people.

You are so toxic, your face shrinks with madness.
Your depression is infectious, you must live in solitude.
You see life as a downward spiral, you want everyone to go down with you.
You seemed not to experience childhood, you’re unhappy all the time.
Get lost from our sight, you don’t deserve our cordiality.

You are so toxic, you’re comparable to a storm.
Your unpredictability is irritating, you’re never really cute with it.
Your words are venomous, you deserve a snakebite.
Your stares are piercing, I’d like to pluck out your eyes!
I won’t start a physical catfight, you might scratch my porcelain skin.

A six year old’s intellect is better than you.
Your emotional quotient is zero.
Do you want a visit to a psychologist?
Or a free supply of Prozac from me?

You are nothing but a toxin, you don’t deserve my understanding.
Speak ill of me or my family and enjoy, a bird’s brain is bigger than yours.
“Hindi ka na nga maganda, masama pa ugali mo” — that’s you!
Get a life, go to hell, party with Satan!

Your sweet smile
Your naughty glances
Your hearty laugh
I love them all, Adi

Your tiny fingers
That hold your crayons
Etching on our wall
I don’t mind it, just go on scribbling

Your red lips pouting
Planting a kiss on mommy
While wrapping your small arms around me
Is enough to make my day, little baby

You saying “Mama”
Is music to my ears
It relieves all my stress and pain
Thanks for coming into our life

I hope you’ll grow up to be a good person
A better person than I
A loving brother, a dutiful son
Don’t forget our happy days of your childhood with us

Just when my life becomes monotonous
Came a pleasant surprise!
I chanced upon an old inspiration
And here I am, feeling recharged

There are things that I want to do now
Things that I want to do more
Sometimes, out of the blue
The unexpected happens quickly

Adi

Come close to me my little boy
Daddy’s home,my source of joy
The day is long and you’re my reward
I’ll hug you tightly and kiss you afterwards

My life has become more meaningful and happy
When God blessed me with a handsome baby
You gave me an inspiration to strive harder in life
I’ll bear all the troubles with all my might

God has a purpose why He gave you to me
It’s maybe the same one when He gave me your mommy
I guess it’s because He wants me to bring Him
A family that will worship together in gleam

Time is running fast and soon you’ll grow up
You won’t be a baby forever so I’ll kiss you now a lot
Remember our days of love and joyfulness
Each moment with you, Adi, is truly priceless

~Daddy
