patience ( inspired )
If patience is a virtue
Well then
I take it as a lai
Wear it around my neck
You can spin
Me up
And push me down
but I am not ready for that this time
For the fact that
I have given more
And you have not
Taken less
Again you can
Knock me off
On the ground
But that's would be
Your last mistake
Oh, my dear patience
