P. 1

They have spent many hours 

Trying to know what's in my mind 

With nothing but a puzzled tune to listen

For brain runs the fastest race, defeating Owens

 

I wish they could spend just a little time 

Trying to hear the songs, my heart sings 

All clarity would have popped up 

Knowing how well it beats and perfectly in sync

 

They ran to catch my reactions

Over stones pelted upon me 

Trying to assess me how disheveled I be 

Noting down each and every thing 

 

I wish they had seen my gestures and actions 

How well it went even in times of hardships 

Giving the tests of life and individuals 

As patiently and as silently a wise woman would
