I remember back then in my school days
Huh, some genius!
O so many people for math Olympiads, he said
Even her, she's amongst the chosen, he mocked
I heard him and I said nothing
O hear me I tell no lies when I say, that time I forced my tears in because I never wanted to become weak and I smiled instead
He made fun of my English, still I said nothing
He was a genius after all....I had to smile
He made fun of me and I told myself it's okay
My pillow was my shoulder to cry on, I mean most of the times, don't blame me I had no close friend
I feel sorry for my diary for it experienced more of sad moments, heartbreak and less of happiest moments
I believe past is the foundation of every success

I always pray and pray and pray for a better future
Messiah I have a request, will you please cocoon me from cruelty and hatred against those who do me wrong
Construct me to be a better person and not ever regret anything from life
Make me not curse life and your people
Provide me with humanity, love and strengthen me to overcome every bitter situation
O rehearse me for obstacles that will approach my way
But above all don’t ever allow my heart turn into stone
Make make me understand forgiveness and free my mind for good memories.
