Whining (Beat poem)
I was told to be obedient since I was born
Never spend too much time on eye
Go to bed before ten chimes and get up at six
So that later you can earn yourself the bread
I wanted to be a football player when six
Daddy told me I was wrong
You would never succeed that way, my apple boy
Work hard and try to be a lawyer
I keep secrets to myself since then
I long for falling in love with queen in the school
Turning on till the world ends
But they’ll know none of these
Life rolls on and I behave well
As the way it has been planned
They say they’re proud of me
I feel ashamed for myself
Standing in the center of the city
Feeling like sinking in an ocean
All that floundering makes no difference I give in like I never tried
