[Runaway]

Sunlight rests on my face

Rise and shine, a new day!

To be an enthusiast, I try to aim

Deep down, dark clouds haze

To chase after Frank Abagnale

Drool over his steward ladies’ charm

Inspired by Totto-chan

Angry at Mao’s rule, it had many to harm

Oblivious to reality

Obsessed with Gwen Stefani

In my bedroom’s posters of thy beauty

A poem written to celebrate this rocker lady

Subconsciously I was a boy

I hung out with Ivan and Roy

Even thought I could be handsome like Draco Malfoy

My heart was frozen, I didn’t know

Fear brushed aside, immune to the cold

Going nowhere fast, self-deception grew

Escaping to the realm of fantasy I call home
