Why I Cried :: Asean Royal Flush Sonnet
Told you never run fast, be at my side
while stroll; Now, let's go and sit near lakeside.
You know school is boring; in class I cried;
Nothing to learn there. Don't have friends, they lied
always talk in their mother tongue, they snide.
Saw in dream, they're punished with a rope tied.
I'll ask Mom, if she can come, sit inside
class with me; feel alone-That's why I cried.
Yet, you see, I've to go; thinking to hide
tomorrow, next day and finally I'd
stop going school; you know, I can confide
I want to be like you, free none to guide.
Dad doesn't know through dog door freely I glide;
Yes, tomorrow through it I'll go to hide.
