A thoughtful harmless rant poem by Daniel Wu

A little thing

There is a little thing in my life

It’s called my true self

Its gotten quite small

But now,

People like me better

Right?

I can be athletic,

Without moving an inch

I can just act that way

And people think I am

I can be smart

Without going to school

Just fake sick

And people just assume

Now I’m older,

People start to grow

People start to see

They see my true self.

They know I’m not

Athletic, or

Smart, or

Kind, or

Funny.

Let this be a lesson

Show your true self

So you can work

So when people start to see,

They’ll know

That you are

Athletic, and

Smart, and

Kind, and

Funny.
