Lines readers kept. Every one was typed in by hand by somebody who wanted to remember it.
I, a Daughter,
a Woman,
so dear to them,
and yet, I feel the weight of their love.
Homesick for another worldHow can one soul hold so much kindness,
So much patience,
Without breaking?
Homesick for another worldI didn't know what to call that house
Her home? Her childhood home? Her maternal home?
Perhaps defining a home for a woman is difficult.
Especially if she is married.
The Garland of StereotypesI take out the garland,
Plish each flower, one by one,
They are heavy and dirty.
I transform it into a fresh flower
And throw it back to them
The Garland of StereotypesJust as I mention where I belong to
A dozen stereotypes are garlanded on me.
The Garland of StereotypesWe are similar yet different,
And nothing more in my mind was coherent.
Whipped out my phone again,
And gave him 5 star rating, which he must obtain!
The Garland of StereotypesFreedom is a right, firing is not
Protest is a roght, bloodshed is not!
The Garland of StereotypesThe sun now low in the west, and my generation stands lost between past and present. But beyond the sunset, one must journey on and one must be left behind.
Homesick for another world
