I did not say much about it
As I knew it would break her heart
I lived to please her because I did not want to disappoint her
Her mistakes were replaced by me, with a white ink
I had to be perfect in everybody’s eyes but not my own
If I could hold it and place it in a safe
So that I may not carry it forever I would
If I could paint it, I would not know which colour to use
The sound it makes every night is so loud
You would swear there’s a Halloween party down my corridor
If I could dance to it, it would not have a rhythm to move from the left
foot to the right foot As I stand paralysed
with no examination done or prescription from the doctor to cure it
I carry the memo to the answers of the exams she wrote, I had never seen her
question paper even though I rewrote her life
She has no idea how mine is like
As I live to please her
And through me she lives and I am only a ghost
Just another dark reflection of my own nightmare
