ying shui si yuan (remembering your roots)

I am detached

the clothes

the cups

plates

spoons

forks

lie in

piles

i do not

laugh

or

smile

i

answer

too slowly

i have changed

i am not

the

loving

understanding

daughter

you miss so

much

i have forgotten

where

i

came

from

who

raised

and

fed

me

many things distract

me

in a way you can't

i am

not

yours

anymore

why

you sat here

and talked

and

hoped

but my heart has turned cold

why

God

dont let me

continue

like

this

i need

to be

how i

was

in the

past

I need to

get my

priorities

on the

straight

and narrow

only

You can

help

me
