There's a vision with my eyes and with my touch.
But I smell home, I can taste it, I can hear it all the same.
I walk in the city I am in but feel disorientated. 
How can I be in two places at once?

My soul is home, and wandering,
My physical vessel stands here,
Eight thousand miles apart.
And somehow, my senses say that I am here but I am also there.

My friends and family back home,
They miss me ever so dear.
And here, I have made friends...
Who will miss me as soon as I disappear.

In death, people live within the hearts of others.
During life, each person makes their mark on each other. 
Can that part of their soul, the memories that they make...
Is it possible to have a bond so strong that what each sense is sensed by others?

I can smell it, the air back home.
The taste of the food-
A warmth in the air-
I can sense it.
I can hear it.
I am there.

But with my eyes, I know my place. 
Across the sea, thousands of miles away.
Reality of the absence of my hometown is concrete with my touch.

It presents a visual effect that I must accept.
However, that does not mean I am not there. 
For it is true, my soul has lingered home while I have banished my vessel here. -

At first I was not sure about you.
You seemed friendly enough.
And even though we had a disagreement,
We were able to emerge from that.

I hope you don't think negative of me,
Because I don't think negative of you.
You are funny and even though we cannot always communicate.
We seem to work it through.

Later, we will go separate ways. 
And I hope we can meet again.
I want to see how you grow as a person. 
From now till then...

You harbor a lot of potential,
And I cannot wait to see,
Where that leads you-
How that teaches you.

This college is only the beginning you know. 
I do not wish for an end to your journey.
Rather, I'm excited to see,
How beautiful you become,
And not because of me.

You, alone, have the strength,
And the will to proceed.
One day I hope to reunite with you,
By then I'll be closer to accomplishing my dream.

What is it that I've done to you? 
Why won't you let me know? 
Instead, all I see are your cold eyes. 
And that attitude that glows.

If I did something wrong, why won't you say it? 
I told you before, if you do not tell, I will not know. 
Yet here we are, you look down at me.

Part of me does not want to care.
Another wants to know.
I want to know so I can fix it. 
So tell me, let me know.

However, I know that you are prideful.
That's why you look down at me in the first place. 
You think I want to be better than you, 
The truth is, I'm not.

We are both human beings. 
Everyone makes mistakes. 
I do my best to be honest.

What is that I've done to you?
Speak, I will listen. 
Is it because they come to me instead of you? 
Fear of being judged, a fear understood.

When you think about it... 
Maybe, your fear is telling you, 
That if you judge others, they feel the same.

I've made it clear. 
I do not judge.
If anything, I want to understand. 
Which is why they come to me instead of you.

But that does not have to be the case. 
You have leadership in your eyes.
The only problem is,
Your pride is twice as intense.

So put down your pride,
Talk to me.
What did I do?

Have someone stand with you, 
That way I can figure out your message.
Our language barrier is thick.
And that does not mean, I want it thicker.

Talk to me,
Communicate.
I want be your friend.

Come now, I'm willing to listen. 
All you have to do, is tell.

It's the insecurities that wake me. 
They prevent me to be sound. 
My heart jolts, an aching beat, 
There are no tears to be found.

I told myself that this was for the best,
And yet, here I am, my heart betraying me. 
It stings. A cold rush climbs through my veins, 
My breath becomes a gasp,
And then there is fear.

To be forgotten,
A memory, even if it is bright, 
I become a stepping stone below the blossoming environment.

Silence. How could it be so loud? 
Doubt comes with the quietness. 
Happiness... That's what I want. 
But this was my choice.
And I said, "Spread your wings."

This doesn't mean it won't hurt. 
When I see you fly, 
A bittersweet goodbye. 
And a rhythm in my heart,
That I know too well.

A song I've sung before. 
It would be assumed that the pain would be less.
Instead, the pain is different. 
And the intensity is the same if despite the past.

Think about me in your arms tonight.
Under your sun, is my moon.
And even though I see stars when you see the bright sky...
That doesn't mean, we're separated by our hearts.

Every kiss that we gave.
Every hug, each memory made-
I cherish them and hope you do too.
Because there's not a day I don't think about you.

When I turn on my phone I see your face.
That smile, those gorgeous eyes...
And I cant help but hear, "I love you, Babe" in the back of my mind.
And I catch myself saying "I love you too."

Communication was what kept us together.
A vow we made to each other in the beginning.
I'm so glad that I met you.
I'm also happy that we're working together, doing what we can, and hoping for one another.

There's not a day that you don't cross my mind.
Little things make me think, "I wish you were here." 
But I also know, that right now we're on our own paths. 

And all I hope, is that when we are brought back together,
That our love will be stronger.
And nothing will be able to break what we will become.

Must there be a 'fault' at all times? 
When people speak, they are weary. 
Afraid, self-conscious. 
"Everyone will judge." Their thoughts remind them.

Alone, I stand. 
Questions asked as if there were no end to them.
One answer brings clarity but many questions as well 
To be judged by everyone is not what I fear.

What I fear is to live in ignorance.
Better to make a fool of myself for a moment rather than dwell in the absence of knowledge. 
In the future, I will teach
When that day comes, I hope
My children will also see the way I see.

Sunday Watts: Introduction

  Most of you know me by many names. For internet purposes we will concentrate on the name 'DJ'. In 2010 I joined Wattpad. In 2014-2015 my appearance on Wattpad became less. Now that I am going to school in the Philippines I have learned that Wattpad is part of the culture here. So, to reach out to the audience I am surrounded by, I have created this journal.

  I will write poems and share my thoughts much like I did in 2010. I'm sorry everyone for disappearing on you. Now that I am of legal age I need to share a secret with all of my followers. In 2010 I was fourteen years of age. I shared my thoughts, hopes, and dreams with all of you. However, I did keep one secret from you. Since I was not eighteen yet I was weary about people finding me in person. Now that I am twenty-two I don't mind as much.

  To prevent people from finding me I switched my gender and changed my name. Over the years, I have gone by many names and I still won't share my given name to you all. But I will tell you that in the real world, I am a female. Writing in a male's perspective has helped me consider how the world treats both genders. My official writing alias is 'Danieljames Joaquin Domar'.

  Here in the Philippines I go by 'DJ' instead of my given name. My given name gets mispronounced often which is why I have gone by many names over the years. My current goal is to become a certified Elementary Teacher by Filipino standards. My destination is to be a tutor in many subjects including languages.

  Right now I am trying to learn the languages Filipino and Ilocano. Eventually, I will master Itneg (my family's mother language on my mom's side). You will be see me write in a mix between these three languages for practice purposes. I'm hoping by using them together I can eventually separate then fluently. By the end of this semester I hope to be fluent in Filipino but I know more Ilocano. If you are able to explain Ilocano or Filipino well, in English, please message me. I would love to talk to you.

  I am currently living at a dorm in Tamag, Vigan City, Ilokus Sur because I am going to a the University of Northern Philippines. I am a first year despite my previous college experiences. I hope you enjoy this journal.

  Feel free to add me on Instagram and follow my blog. Let me know so I can follow you back. The links to both my Instagram and blog should be on my profile. I'll update once a week for sure. The names in this journal will be different from the given names of the people I interact with for privacy purposes.

  It's good to be back everyone. Let me know what you're thinking as I post. Editing my previous work will probably not happen right now. Fare warning to those of you who are new to my work... My old poems are not edited and they are also based during a darker time in my life. Thank you 

-
  If you have any questions of comments feel free to share what's on your mind. This is the introduction to my poetry book in which you can access by clicking the picture. The purpose of sharing my poetry book with you all is so that you can read about my experience in poetry form or through the entries each post will have something different that you can read. I hope these are interesting for y'all. Please let me know what you think as they are posted! 

Tune in this Tuesday for my weekly entry!
