The Great Pretender.

Erase that whole shit about me standing at a crossroad waiting to choose the right path ahead - because now I realise, that there wasn't even a crossroad to begin with. It was just me all along, fabricating it in my neverending imaginations and fantasies. There were never decisions to make, and no options to consider - right from the start.

So why am I putting myself through such unhappiness? Why should I bother, when you've even forgotten where I come from? You ask if I've seen the photo - is it something you like showing off to everyone you meet? Do you have a habit of saying things to mislead others, only for them to realise very much later, that you are not what you seem to be?

And do you, thousands of miles away in the northern hemisphere, amidst sitting in two-hour meetings, arranging school tours, talking to frustrated parents, basking in the summer sun with freshly-poached abalone, and amidst giving her hugs and kisses before bed ... know how I'm feeling now?

Lay off Lynn, just lay off.

And Teacher
There are things that I don't wanna learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry.

So I don't wanna learn to
Hold you
Touch you
Think that you're mine
Cos it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye.

But shut up and stop telling me to study hard.
