so far away

[helen-maple]

india seems so far away
china
poland
fucking alaska..

my father lives in mexico
he has a little boy.
my brother.

hes just a little boy.
and when i think
of this world
so full
of foreign things
i feel so small
im just a little girl.

and i feel so far away.

somewhere, i wonder,
is there someone
dreaming
these same dreams
faces with familar frowns
as they think
sadly
of foreign things

[VanAstral]

tops, mate!
maybe they're dreaming 'bout faces with familiar smiles,
and that their foreign things are thought upon happily,
and that the destination is valuable, the journey invaluable,
and in China, you can eat a cat.

lol VanAstral!


Helen, this is so melancholy and yearning...real bitter undercurrent in there!

[SoFarAway]

I like the title. ;)

Agree with what everyone above said.

Curious about the first stanza...but I realize it must be personal.
But I really liked this one, thanks for sharing.
