    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

    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.

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

    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.
