They keep closing my mouth

Stephani Fei

Hi father, hi mother
The house is  further
Today is my wedding
Remember when i was begging?

I just wish, my live, being well done
Better than next to my head gun
I love you both
But that’s floating boat

I have, had and will have no choice
There nothing that brings me joys
Im twelve, turning thirteen
Im dreaming to become a queen

That old man, that looks scary
Won’t make me happy and fly like fairy
Please wake up and realize
That’s something inside me cry and dies
