Poem #3

Mabilis. Napakabilis nga ng panahon. Sa sobrang daming pinagkaka-abalahan eh marahil hindi ko na nga napapansin ang bawat takbo ng oras. Hindi ko talaga lubos maisip ito, parang kalian lang nang ako’y unang tumuntong sa high school, grade 7 ako noon at walang kamuwang muwang sa mga nangyayari. Ngayon eh grade 10 na ako sa pasukan na hindi ko talaga lubos mapaniwalaan, kaya naman naisipan kong gumawa ng isang tula. Isang simpleng tula na hindi ko alam kung may patutunguhan, pero sige lang dahil nagiging masaya ako dito. Ito’y pinamagatan kong “A Mind Filled With Uncertainty”

A Mind Filled With Uncertainty

By Jan Kevin T. Mendoza

It's been three years

Amusements, laughers and tears

Truly, season changes so fast

Is this for real or for last?

Naive and innocent when I entered this home

I really can't deny, at first I'm alone

6 hrs of filling knowledge

'I will do my best!' was my always pledge

Grade seven, eight and nine

I had just cultivated these so fine

How is this all happen?

I can't imagine these changes in sudden

I am now to step the next and last round

Last ten months in this home to turn around

Grade 10 quite sounds so hard

But I will do my best to get a priceless card

It's been three years and still wondering

Winter, summer, fall and spring

How all these happened? So witty

Now, my mind is filled with uncertainty
