You are the model minority.
Focus on where you keep your eyes,
Because with utmost authority
The Asian kids should always take the prize.
You are the model minority.
Remember that your race
Should be more than enough to give you superiority;
Victory, surely, must be a lingering aftertaste.
And never forget that you are on the runway.
So no matter how much you fear or resent the stereotype,
You must continue to fly up to sun
And keep failure at bay.
But please, as the stereotype, I beg: stop the snipe
For the pressure will always win, and I will run.
