JACK OF ALL TRADES

I'm a jack of all trades
a master of none
With luck on my hands
I can make all things done

I can sing so loud
and dance so hard
I can make you laugh
and make you proud

I can strum that guitar
I can play a song
But when I play while singing
I got it all wrong

I got 95% for declamation
and a crowd's applause
for a great presentation
But in a real life situation
A big "BOO!" for crying out my emotions
They say " What is the drama?"
When I am crying out, "MAMA!"

I love when I start the car and drive
i find it terrific
but I get nervous in a slow moving traffic
I'm Gaby's no.1 fan
i love her girl power
I wish I can be as great as her

I play games but I'm not that good
I play sports just to pass my P.E. class
I play basketball only on gaming houses
In intramurals, I join nothing but cheering
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!" is what I am yelling

I can pass the exams
but will not have the highest score
I can write you poems
but maybe you'll be bored
I got medals, barpins and trophies
I got certificate of merits
I was Ms. Talent for dancing Macarena
but now I get no awrds for dancing like Shakira

I cook
but I'm afraid you'll taste it
I love reading books
but only a few that I read full
I can draw, who can't
All of us can draw

I once had a valedictory speech
And was crowned Ms. United Nations
I once became a dean's lister
and it did not happen again
I got talents
but they do have limits

I can bear pain
I have a wider pain threshold
i am here if you need someone to hold
But I am not that healthy
For I am always a guest of the clinic
I am always sick
 
I can go anywhere with you
I will find a thing to do
Again, I'm a jack of all trades
But not a master of one

I am not perfect
I am not an expert
My life is so simple
I am just average
Hoping someday to be known
Hoping to get recognition
to stuffs I do with love
Adapting to changes
is one great talent I have
Thank God for this
I am living life with ease
