Goodbye - MGS

 Wave tears goodbye to be cried at night;
Wave hands to hold nothing,
The pain now or never for the grieving of our love.
Your loud whisper cannot reach my ears,
Kiss goodbye, as lips sweat teardrops from my eyes.
Why can’t it be? Why not us?
I ask a little more while
Stepping ahead to be out of sight,
Left alone…
Left unspoken…
You and I…
In separate ways,
Two paths diverging in the fading light,
Once intertwined, now drifting apart,
Each heartbeat echoing the silence of the night.
Memories linger like shadows in the dark,
Fleeting moments that once ignited a spark.
But time has a way of unraveling dreams,
And love, once vibrant, now silently screams.
I gather the pieces, the remnants of us,
Holding them close, though they gather dust.
In the quiet of solitude, I learn to let go,
To wave tears goodbye, to embrace the unknown.
Though the ache may linger, the heart may still yearn,
I’ll find strength in the lessons, in the love that we learned.
For in every ending, there’s a chance to begin,
To wave hands to the past, and let healing in.
So here’s to the journey, to the paths we must take,
To the love that we cherished, and the hearts that will break.
With each step forward, I’ll carry your name,
In the tapestry of life, nothing’s ever the same.

Minding My Business - MGS

I don't mind people's own business,
I never judge their work or their ways,
I never question opinions that differ,
Nor interfere with their fishy plays.

And most especially, I never spread rumors
About the private lives of those I see,
Lo! My mouth is like a wheel,
Sometimes it veers off course, you see.

But I am the one holding the gear,
So I’m responsible for the direction I take,
If madness governs my innermost thoughts,
My brain is the first to judge before my heart can awake.

For God placed my brain higher than my heart,
So I won’t be swayed by fleeting emotion,
There are many times I’ve been misjudged,
Miscalculated, misunderstood in my devotion.

By my words and actions, I may falter,
But I tell you, I never hate or curse,
For I am incapable of maligning anyone,
Just a speck of dust in this universe.

I live one day and then I’m gone,
Yet my stories can be read, each page a mark,
For I am a creation, given life by God Almighty,
To praise Him, to shine, to ignite a spark.

From birth till I grow old, one thing I desire,
Is to live with peace and truthfulness in my soul,
Though I am weak and far from perfect,
I believe that trying is the key to becoming whole.

So I’ll strive to be better, to learn and to grow,
To embrace the journey, to let kindness flow,
For in this life, it’s the love that we share,
That leaves a legacy, a story beyond compare.

Hoping - MGS

 I wanna see you lying on my pillow,
And if by chance, I tell how much I care,
Because I finally realized how much you really mean,
If I could turn back time,
When you were so in love with me,
I would surely treasure you and never let you go.
I hurt you and ignored you,
And now I’m bluer than blue,
I keep shouting your name,
Keep waiting, keep hoping,
But time just passes by, no shadow of you.
At the door, I’m standing 24/7,
Pathetically, emotionally, I’m dying to see you,
It hurts to think of what could be,
To take back the love I used to have,
I know it’s wrong, but I dare to swallow my pride,
Just to have you again, to feel you by my side.
But where are you now?
I thought I was strong,
But since you left, the tears never did stop,
The way I used to be has gone by,
Tell me, how can I find my old self again?
Without you, I’m lost,
Hoping here... in distress,
Searching for a way to mend this heart,
To find the light in the shadows,
To reclaim the love that fell apart.
So I stand here, vulnerable and bare,
Wishing for a chance, a moment to share,
To tell you how much I’ve grown,
To show you the love I’ve always known.
But until then, I’ll wait in this space,
Hoping one day, I’ll see your face,
And maybe, just maybe, we’ll find our way,
Back to the love that once lit our days.

Being Annoyed - MGS

We have been programmed to be the way we are since childhood,
Most of us develop annoying habits and behaviors,
It can really get frustrating, especially when we’re in close contact
With those difficult people every single day.
So, what do we do?
We try to change them or expect them to change
You know, those misfits, the troublemakers, the rebels,
The crazy ones, the procrastinators, the latecomers, etc.
And then it gets even worse,
Because changing people cannot happen overnight.
There was Gandhi saying, “Be the change we wish to see in this world,”
A reminder that we have no control over other lives,
So it’s preferable to just change ourselves.
“Just ignore them,” you say,
But what if we have close contact with this difficult person every day
Like your child, your spouse, your co-worker, or a friend?
How do you deal with them?
It’s a question that lingers,
An echo of frustration and hope,
To navigate the tangled web of relationships,
To find a way to cope.
Perhaps it starts with understanding,
Recognizing the roots of their behavior,
Empathy can be a powerful tool,
A bridge to connect, to share the burden we bear.
Set boundaries, communicate openly,
Express how their actions affect your peace,
Seek common ground, find shared interests,
And in that space, let tensions cease.
Practice patience, for change takes time,
Celebrate small victories along the way,
And remember, it’s not just about them,
But also about how you choose to stay.
In the end, it’s a dance of give and take,
A journey of growth for both you and them,
So, take a deep breath, and embrace the challenge,
For in the struggle, we often find gems.

A Letter for my Students - MGS

And then, they were gone...

The lovely faces...

The sweet voices...

The warm laughter…

The chatter in the classroom...

The English room suddenly becomes cold...

And the ten months suddenly seems too short.

I am left again with the chalk dust…

I look at the empty arm chair.

You used to sit there silently reading your notes...

or pretending to be...

I heard you giggling holding your cellphone...

while a classmate erased the writings on the wall...

I saw you carrying the garbage bin...

I watched you sweeping the floor...

I felt your tears when you had a fight with your friends...

I saw you run inside the classroom

When your other teacher suddenly came announcing a surprise quiz.

I heard you picking on your seatmate who always asked for 1/4 sheet of paper...

I heard you beg to be included in the list of

training participants...

I saw you sweat while scratching your head when you couldn't answer a question.

I heard you scream for joy when you passed the

test...

It's all I could do now....seeing you in my mind

and heart.

Because you have to go forward.

But I trust that you will continue to grow and

glorify God in everything you do.

I will recharge this summer and

will be praying that you will all be safe and

strong in the world outside the classroom.

You are allowed to forget me.

But you're not allowed to forget why you came to school...

God speed, my beloved students.

I will never forget you,

No matter what. I promise.

I am a Teacher - MGS

 I Am a Teacher

I am a Teacher

Like a mother to her own child

The love and care will never fade way

I get hurt but I can forget.

I can be insulted, but I can forgive.

I know I can't please you all.

But I won't be the reason of your fall.

It doesn’t matter if you hates me,

Call me mean won’t caused a thing

I AM a TEACHER and I oath.

To teach and inspire

With all my strength and ability

To treat you fairly and justifiable.

I know sometimes you have a bad day

And you need someone to listen and cheer you up

You need someone to understand you

You are young and vulnerable

I am strict but firm

But my hands is always free

To reach your needs.

Fighter - MGS

 A Fighter... I Am

Body is getting weaker

Knees no longer standing

Wounded, bloodied, and weak

But lo! never quit

I shall fight

I am strong

I can deal with it

I am a fighter

Yes, I am!

Tear me

Break me

Shoot me the same bullets

I won’t fall

Caused me another wound

for I bleed no more

Verbalize me

Abuse me

Scandalize me

I can stand

I am a strong

a fighter

That is me!

I have fought many battles

But I end up winning

I faced many sufferings

But like a giant sequoia tree

I stand still.

Write Out Loud - MGS

Then I’m yours,
How can a maiden resist
A man with a golden tongue?
Words spill out like fire,
Burning bright, igniting hope,
Like a spark in the dark,
A flame that feels so right.

In a fairy tale love story,
Once upon a time, a sad princess,
Found her prince, not in the forest,
But in the WOL, where dreams take flight,
In the glow of laughter and shared delight.

With every whispered promise,
Every glance that lingers long,
A little more push, and I’ll surrender,
To the melody of our song.

Together we’ll write our own chapter,
With ink made of dreams and desire,
Crafting a tale of love and laughter,
As we dance through the flames of fire.

So take my hand, let’s leap into the unknown,
With courage and passion, we’ll carve our way,
For in this story, we’re never alone,
And together, we’ll find our happily ever after today.

Yesterday Hypnotized - MGS

Just yesterday we were both deeply in love,
Then suddenly, we fell out of love,
It seems hypnotism’s effect overdue,
That even a psychotherapist can’t undo.

Searing pains, my heart suffers, an emotional breakdown,
Who can take me out from this heavy crown?!
This morning, I turned on the radio,
“Because You Love Me” come on, Celine Dion, you made me cry again, oh no!
I went out merely to breathe,

But it seems like these two lovers are teasing me,
Sigh, who believes in Romeo and Juliet anyway?!
Back to my bedroom, I turned on the TV screen,
“Marry and be Merry”—a dating game to find your soulmate,
Are you kidding me?! Do you think this will work?!
It’s been years since that parting moment,
And I still can’t get over this excruciating torment.

The saddest part...
I always see your smile,
Your activeness,
Your sweetness,
And your presence,
I love you…

You shouted from afar,
“I love you too…”
My best friend replied back,
Then walked away,
The best revenge…
I did…

I learned to rise from the ashes of pain,
To find strength in the heartache, to dance in the rain,
Though memories linger, I’ll cherish the past,
And in time, I’ll find love that’s built to last.

Fallen - MGS

 Fallen

I wish my heart has a tongue to speak

To tell how I feel right now

I wish this heart is more willing to lead

For I am,

truly,

madly,

deeply

in love

I wish my mouth will cooperate

For my voice is too shy to utter

I wish this mouth be more brave

So I can tell

I

Love

You

If I have a time machine

I will choose to be a boy

So I can tell

You

are

my

life

Trying harder to catch your attention

So I use a song

But I guess the song wasn’t good enough

Cause your eyes still not on my direction

I commanded my feet to come near you

But they didn’t bring me to your direction

Womanizer - MGS

The heroine addicted,
Suddenly devastated,
From a heartthrob to a hates,
Lay curled on the bed like a shrimp,
Crawling like a weepy, clingy child.
Shouting like Godzilla in the forest,
Pain comes hard, sharp, palpable,
Trying to stand, but the hurt digs deep,
Into my diaphragm, a relentless pull.

Pulsing weepily, it impacts my brain,
Can’t breathe, can’t move, can’t even think,
How desperate, how uncertain,
But no one seems to care, not a wink.
Every tear drop pays the price,
For every heart you broke along the way,
Every sadness profits,
For every girl you played, a cruel display.

Every mourn repaid in silent screams,
For every broken heart you made,
Womanizer, you deserve no happiness,
For you can make love, but love you evade.

You dance through hearts like a fleeting shadow,
Leaving behind a trail of despair,
But know this, dear heartbreaker,
Your emptiness is a burden you’ll bear.

For in the end, it’s not just a game,
The hearts you toy with, the lives you claim,
A heroine rises, stronger from the pain,
And in her journey, she’ll find love again.

Getting Old - MGS

Time is running so fast,
And no one can ever stop its flow,
Not me, not you, not anyone,
It’s a river that we all must know.

Growing old is our destiny,
A journey we cannot evade,
Accept it or not, it’s a reality,
In every wrinkle, a story laid.

When I get old,
I’ll be an inspiration, not a destruction,
Sharing my experiences to uplift,
Not to boast, but to spark a connection.

I’ll still compete, embracing the challenge,
But with grace, not to downgrade,
Gathering friends for celebration,
In laughter and joy, our bonds remade.

I’ll be a path to peace, not a quarrel,
A bridge for understanding, not a divide,
When friends have trouble, I’ll listen closely,
Seeking harmony, with love as my guide.

When I get old,
I’ll spend my time wisely,
Filling my days with positivity,
Embracing the moments, being merry.

For in the tapestry of life,
Each thread is woven with care,
And as time runs its course,
I’ll cherish the love that we share.

Tell Me How -MGS

You’re the cause of my sleepless nights,
A whisper in the dark that lingers on,
The reason for my gloomy eyes,
Searching for the light that you bring along.

Every day, I can’t smile ‘til I see you,
Your presence a balm for my weary soul,
This mind is filled with thoughts of you,
A tapestry of dreams that makes me whole.

These lips, they ache with a longing so true,
Yearning for the warmth of your embrace,
How far will this feeling go,
How deep will it root in this sacred space?

I wish to be with you every single day,
To share the laughter, the silence, the sighs,
Hoping for a miracle that you feel the same way,
As I navigate the depths of love’s sweet ties.

Could it be love, or just an infatuation?
A fleeting moment, or something profound?
Could it be for lasting, or just a passing sensation?
In this whirlwind of feelings, I’m lost and found.

Could it be right, or am I blinded by your kindness?
Caught in the web of what could be,
This mind is filled with you,
This heart, a prisoner of uncertainty.

How far will this feeling go?
How deep will it root in the soil of my heart?
The questions linger, echoing softly,
Until now, they refuse to depart.
