My True Voice
I’m a blown away kite,
That follows the wind everywhere it takes me,
Finally I got caught in a big bamboo grove,
Stayed on the top of a bamboo tree.
"Little girl, why do you roam by yourself?"
"I want to see more heaven outside my room!"
During the night the grove was very quiet,
Only the owls stayed with me,
That first time I felt so scared,
"Why is the place around me so quiet and cold?
"I want to go home, I want to go home!"
The Moon sister in the sky saw me,
And condoled me;
"The place outside your room is like that, little girl, don’t be scared."
I stopped sobbing and crying,
And quietly waited for the next morning to come.
