Am sorry, I'm less than you expected.
I couldn't be like my late brother,
Nor could I think like my late sister.
You expected more from me,
What to do?
I just couldn't live up to your expectations.

Am sorry, I'm less than you imagined.
I was born a little different,
I was born with an unusual gene.
My words come slower than they should,
Spittle drips and stains my wears,
Ah! How embarrassing that must have been!

Bian, I couldn't be like the normal children.
I didn't expect to be this worse either,
I mean, my face might say otherwise,
But I feel embarrassed to step out of my room, everyday.
I know what shame is,
Because I learnt it the hard way.

So mum, I'll be gone for a very long time,
I'm not sure if this soul will be back.
The soul who wrote this letter with fear,
The soul who have been a coward all her life.
I'll ease you of your embarrassments,
I'll give you some breathing space.

I'm sorry it took so long to get the courage -
The courage to seize to be.
For I was trapped in the wrong body,
This right soul in a wrong compartment.
The wrong compartment for a right soul
And so I'm less, bian.
