Thanks A Lot, Uncle, A Poem by Melati

Greetings, Uncle

You once gave me candies,

And I thought that candy is candy

But now, I see candy as a threat

If only I have screamed that day

If only I can turn back time, I will

I will refuse to go into the bathroom

I will refuse for you to carry me

I regret that I did not screamed at that day

And I don't know how, somehow you have casted me into a spell, 

A spell that can only be broken by the loss of memories 

The blue skies seems gray, while the sun is a raining cloud

Have I ever wish to die?

My pencil broke, my tears have fallen

I found out because of that day, 

my future has been ruined

Thanks a lot, Uncle

Thank you, a lot

Thanks A Lot, Uncle
