Stay Gracious
Dear boys and girls
I want to pour my love into your soul
let you know
you are my godsent angels
how much I value your arrival
hope you can feel it all
Seems obviously clear
you have been trying
to deprive me of my grace
flattering yourselves that
making me crazy is funny;
however, I detect your conspiracy
penetrate your disguise
pretend it’s no biggie
As a child
I had no privilege
speaking at will in class
was one of my luxury dreams
I just wonder why you are confident
you can learn well
by chatting while I am instructing
well, let’s say it’s true
listening to your teacher is a great virtue
I decide not to raise eyebrows
walk with balance and poise
when you make trouble
your unspent energy is a magic
often made me feel tragic
but still my sweet heart
when you are down
I will be a clown
when you shed tears
I will be the good cheer
When the night falls
with my eyes closed
I can’t help but think of your poses
your provoking questions
often shock me to death
your gruff voices and sharp laughter
always linger in my ears
the naïve faces with slippery smiles
project signals to me
to pay attention to at all times
thanks to you guys
How thrilling my daily life is
However honestly
you are not the needy ones
who are being rescued
I am just the one actually
who needs your help to change
I don’t want a healer any more
because I am myself own cure
there is a lesson to learn
how to face challenges
and still stay gracious
I want to pour my love into your soul
let you know
you are my godsent angels
how much I value your arrival
hope you can feel it all
Seems obviously clear
you have been trying
to deprive me of my grace
flattering yourselves that
making me crazy is funny;
however, I detect your conspiracy
penetrate your disguise
