How do I tell her, that things often don't work out the way you expect them to, / And that you are, in fact, alone in this
I've lived as her;/ I've known my mother’s plight.
Years later, when I would no longer live in my parents' room and grow to have my own,/ I would disregard all the hours I had spent by the window staring at beetles hiding.
I took a lonely stroll on the hollows of your cheeks
We will chase after stringless kites, Down the road
I heard myself speak today It made me want to Cut out my tongue.
For eons piano keys unmoved Lay silently asleep
But I bloom like a flower:/ Soft and strong.
Autumn transcended Winter– / Crispness in the air fell pale.
