To My Appa
Whether to decide this or that
Whether to trust someone or not
Where to start a work
How to end some task
To show the new flower that bloomed
To taste the new recipe that mom prepared
To review my new poem
To hear an old song in fm
To scold me for doing naughty things
While wearing new dress
When I am depressed
While getting anonymous calls
While entering the mall
While stepping alone
While discussing plans
While laughing at comedy scenes
All we need is you, just you
You have worked hard all your life,
just to keep us safe
All these years,
you never made me feel inferior
You never made me feel ashamed
But today I feel so guilty
And I feel ashamed of being a girl
I wish I'd been born a boy
It's been 9 months since you left us
And if I were a boy child
I would have done a ritual tomorrow
I am the unluckiest girl in this world
As I failed to protect you from the demon death
And now an impotent to do anything to you
Dedicated to my dad
