Poetry by Hydz Trinidad

I am a woman of independence. I can say that I am successful in my family, work, studies and career except in love. At the age of 24, for the first time in my life, I fell in love with someone. I thought my first love will last, but I made mistakes. I lost love because of what I am. The guy thinks I am a woman so hard to reach for....it breaks my heart and every time I think of him, I really don't know how to mend my broken heart.....worst, he's eyeing our common friend.

I am truly blessed to have a wonderful mother - god-fearing, loving, understanding, strong-willed, caring - the best mother. This message is for my mother, MS. DELIA S. TRINIDAD, and all the mothers out there who sacrifice a lot to make the best child in the world. Inang, this message expresses all the things that I want to say. Thank you very much and I love you so much inang....

When you fall in love, you must be ready to get hurt and expect that your relationship will fall out of love. So that when time comes that you realize you're not really meant to be, it won't hurt you that much.
