You were my friend
I never disrespected you
Your instructions I carried
Your worries I quenched
I thought you saying goodbye in your sleep
Meant your instructions have ended
So why are you stuck in my head
Criticising everything I do
With a whip of conscience?
Please show your face
And stop haunting
A whipping for good spirit
Is too immortal to fight
I have no hands and no eyes
To fight you
Like a soldier defeated, I surrender
Grandma, please be gentle on me.
