To My Younger Self
The first time I got to know you,
Your stature deceived me a little,
Your choice of words got me thinkin'
Who the hell is this?
A dumba's who cannot speak?
And your silence confirmed it
You're a weakling who lacks confidence in public
But then I was wrong
You got me with your hardwork
The way you worked so tirelessly
How you seemed to have no elastic limit
Even when exhausted, you kept on pushing
How you did not give a listen to being lazy
How you worked endlessly to know your onions
Dear, I love the way you skillfully cut your onions
Peppering the eyes of those who call your diligence a noise
Then, you cried because of their sharp words
Now, you're smiling 'cause you're now a champion!
