Poems of My Life Vol. I

Poem of My Life

~Probably, my longest poem so far hehe~

Born was a babe on 19 of September

Oh what joy it brought to father and mother

After months of waiting, the world welcomed me

Slowly, I opened my eyes to see it fully.

The next few months were quite a hurdle

Sleepless nights that my parents could ever handle

But still filled with love and care

Soon these I have to share.

Two years after, my sister was born

Lovely was she, yet my heart was full of scorn

I yet to grasp this feeling for I was still so young

Big words to say from my little tongue.

Yes, I do love my dear little sister

She was cute and seems like a good girl

But years after, such love died down

She disrespects me, I started to frown.

Still I continued to enjoy my good life

Though pain starts to inch little by little

Like a sudden jab of a very sharp knife

Hope I can hold it, how long can I handle?

Jealousy begins to grow in me

I really don't know why at all, honestly

But seeing mama and papa spoil her so much

Do they even see me? I shrugged at my hunch.

In order to gain back what I had lost

I worked so hard, not trying to make a fuss

Studying hard, and gained responsibilty

I hope these are enough, I might be going crazy.

Though life has provided me with such great friends

My only fear was when our bond ultimately ends

Sorrow and grief will surely come

Haunting me again, oh I feel numb.

I remembered my very first friend

Friends forever, friends 'til the end!

Yet after kindergaten, where has he gone?

I visited his house, I saw no one.

Again, something stung my heart

I don't know why but it really hurt

Still I don't understand why it stung

For I was very, very young.

Here comes my next life, elementary it was called

Six years of education, many a time i get embroiled

So many name callings, Argh! I hate bullying

But it's a phase I must overcome, I am really trying...

Finally graduation, though i made a few mistakes

Like my first punch out, yet I am not proud

It was wrong, very wrong! My body quakes

"I'm sorry..." Even if I have to say it aloud!

Oh what drama it was during those days

Still I'm happy, I got the third honorable place.

But such happiness was only temporary

My new friend died, oh the sorrow I have to carry.

At this time, I gave up, I must not give in

For having too much trust on a good friend

To know that they will soon leave me

Sprawled on the floor, heavily crying.

High School turned out to be better than I expected

Although I made friends, I kept my self sealed.

Enough with the grief that I've always felt

But sometimes I have no choice, I've let my heart melt.

My, great was the expectations when I was a senior

And being a top student was truly a big favor

I have competed with my research both in locals and nationals

All i have to do is finish my finals!

It is tradition, that every graduation

That we share our feelings in a two-day retreat

This was what I am afraid of, to speak my mind

No choice, I looked at the paper and signed.

Actually, it was the best choice I've ever made

Some of my pain had somehow fade

I get to leave the school with no regrets

Truly, this one I'll never forget.

Finally, we reached the present - my current state

Here in my country, I'm in college at West Visayas 

Taking up nursing with a clean slate

I hope that in this chapter that I will pass.

So far, these are some bits of my life

You have known me a little, known my strife

I felt relieved that I shared them in this literary form
