mummer

Four, she wanted
The even will improve the odds
Four, she created
An investment she asked the gods

Four, she raised
They walked in eggshell floors
Four, she expected
Daily to do the chores

Don’t tell her about the bullies at school
Don’t tell her you cry at night when they fight
Don’t tell her your shoes put you in ridicule
Don’t tell her lunch was a little too light

Four, she preached
Education is all she could give
Four, she believed
Had everything needed to live

Four, she instilled
Gratitude for their service
Four, she feared
Would kick them when they’re useless

Don’t tell her your life aspirations 
Don’t tell her when you find inspirations 
Don’t tell her complaints about your boss
Don’t tell her about dealing with your loss

Old Bukit Timah Railway Station

I am clearly not a person who has FOMO because if I did, I wouldn't have just walked past this unpaved and rather remote path many times...
