By Daisy Khu

Fast-paced city

Oh, how we love you

For your quick wit

and even quicker feet

Careful you don't miss a step

For if you wish to achieve your dreams You have to keep your pace

Moving too fast to see what's ahead It's easy to miss

that crying girl

Practical invisible to you all

Yes, She used to be one of you Oh, how quickly the mighty fall
