“I would rather sit on a pumpkin,
And have it all to myself, than
Be crowded on a velvet cushion.”
-Henry David Thoreau

When I was a little,
I have to rely on my parents,
Some difficulties
I could not deal with it all by myself.

Now I’m growing up
To be an independent person,
I can do whatever I want
According to my ability.

I like to be alone sometimes,
’Cause I need to communicate with
The voice that comes to me,
I can pay attention to it.

If I was with someone else,
I would lose the moment opportunity,
I would love to be alone
To observe everything.

Everything that is happening around me,
I enjoy all kinds of voices,
I know which is which,
I love to reason.

Sitting on a pumpkin all by myself,
I can analyze
What’s going on
Without disturbance.

A poet, like a bluejay trying to make you happy, I can make it if you see me every day, and you talk to me as you wish, I'd love to sing to respond to the voice
