Oneof a Kind

Amist clogs up my chest
Ashower blinds my eyes
Iam light-headed and sick
Hispestering and her nagging circles the space around me

Buriedunder the weight of loneliness, I have tolerated too much
Whyshould I compromise with reality and give up my fantasies?

Ibreak away from rules and standards
Hoppinginto my own world
Iwon’t let restraints tie me down again
Iundo all the knots
I’llignite the fuse of my dreams
Lightup all imagination
LiBai was romantic
Su Shi was bold
AndI, I am one of a kind
