I want to be happy, joyful
peaceful. want to live a life...

One day, when your daughter
is 15. She is going to come home...

You can hide behind excuses,
you can change your looks, your thoughts...

You do not know me yet,
but I have dreamed about...

My languages are nothing
but prove that I was smart enough...

I am overseas now.
in the plane, at some point...

Just know that I am my mother's only child. And I...

Remember how much
we talked about our dreams...

A sunflower
amidst roses...

Your teeth cut through
a cherry, the way I wish...

I have been avoiding the topic,
almost as much as people ask me about it...

This poem, was written
in my mother tongue...
