Philo Yan (Malaysia)
An Angel Who Cannot Fly
I've been called 'sweet'
I sometimes can be a 'tweet'
I'm sometimes called 'gullible'
I'm sometimes called 'lovable'
I'm mostly seen as 'quiet'
Perhaps I'm just tired
or that's how I'm wired.
But online, I'm a riot.
I've even been called a 'mosquitoe'
because of my small voice
well, do I have a choice?
to be born with a soft voice?
I've been called shy
meet new people, I die
and sometimes I myself don't know why.
But I've never been called
'An Angel who cannot fly! '
