Dad listen to me please

Do you still visit me every day

My incessant bragging still reaches you

Today I simply changed my pen name for you

Hope you saw it when you were passing by

Sorry I can not be with other siblings of yours

Yes when the two hundred souls unite for you alone

Even strangers are noticing I refer myself as your daughter

It slips out of the tongue even without my consent
