On My Romance with Chemistry



Graduated high school with a 93 score
Second in class. Eleventh overall
To myself I said, what a way to end
Hope this goes on as university begin

Here comes results of university examinations
Qualified for engineering as I passed with flying colors
That's not the plan however
As communication was a bread and butter
Signed up with Liberal Arts except for one I discover

To wear a SKIRT (I repeat, a SKIRT) as a uniform
One thing I myself will never ever conform
Made me feel dizzy, from my head to the core
Had no choice but to take Ch.E as a major

And so my romance with Chemistry began
The periodic table was my alphabet all-year round
All the neurons in my brain working as one
Even butterflies in my stomach still alive, having fun

Then, (all of a sudden) PH level though started to rise
Acidity all over couldn't be confined
Test tubes, flasks, and beakers started to break
Even the centrifuge I was using seem to contaminate

Reality dawned on me like it was some residue
Needed a perfect solvent to dissolve some solute
Rediscovering, reinventing, recalculating my every move
Only one experiment left for chemical imbalance be proved

Seemed like Ch.E and I had no chemistry
Decided to abort and pursue the first love of me
The original plan was to become a radio jockey
Which saw the possibility and exposed me on TV

Here I am right now, telling you my story
Hope it inspires you to do what you wanna do, be who you wanna be
Despite the failed covalent bonding with chemistry
There's no regret to have experimented with it
And I still think of it periodically

Oh how I loved Chemistry
It's just that, we weren't meant to be
That's all I can share on my romance with thee


(It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all)

O-N-E. ONE.



To get charged with a crime never committed
To be blamed for faults never intended
To suffer from humiliation, mortification
Every day I ask myself for some justification
For you, that's too simple, basic, or normal
All in all, as they say, they are fundamental

I've got two eyes. One on the left. One on the right.
I see things with clarity and yours seem to be damaged badly
Of all the right things I did, good things I do
You seem not to mind any of those, and that's true
What you'd like me to be, what you choose to see
Are these grave flaws from deep within me

In this world we're living in, I get to see reality
Happiness isn't a right and I just can't be
My thoughts, my soul, and my rights, in all those sleepless nights
Suppressed, exploited, abused and my body is confined

As you can see, frailty cannot be in my vocabulary
For you, for them, and for everybody else
The me, myself, and I - absurdity personified
Emotions are dry, physical sensations deprived
And with torpid senses, well, I hide

As I walk alone, barefoot, and naked
My soul beneath it, surrounded by hatred
Questions cloud my head, should my volition be served
Or better yet conceal it than my soul be shattered

As filthy as dust, my existence to cease
I hope to be heard from my grave and be pleased
Standing alone, fighting on my own
Proving my worth, I'm gonna do from now on

When all is said and done
When the sun finally touches down
You and I both know
We're all human, not knowing what's for tomorrow

(Treat each other as ONE)
