I am
I am etiquette and strong
I wonder if books are real worlds
I hear classical music perform in a London Orchestra
I see an advance world with old-fashioned roots
I want to see roses blooming in the spring
I am etiquette and strong

I pretend the world is words itself
I feel like a butler serving my family
I touch the warm coffee as it kisses my lips
I worry if the future will be like if Fahrenheit 451 exists
I cry for the beautiful gifts God gives me
I am etiquette and strong

I understand God loves me
I say let go of your sorrow
I dream of a successful but a delighted life
I try to draw my words on paper
I hope I’ll continue to be independent
I am etiquette and strong

The author's comments:
I am not strong physically.I always been polite and often ladylike. I never had the physical ability like today girls do have. But I am strong inside and I fight with words to defend myself. I believe words are so powerful that physical strength doesn't seem to matter compare to words with so much inspiration and the beauty that comes from it.
