Feedback please: 
 
scared to have this girl 
nursery's repainted 
going out for quesadillas and tea 
the night that i arrived 
  
baby girl 
walking and talking 
small as a doll 
call me a genius 
for sorting m+m's 
  
precocious child 
violin in hand 
just six years old 
  
worried child 
trust gone 
strength gone 
courage gone 
  
lonely child 
internet and television 
museums and playgrounds 
are my new playmates 
  
faraway girl 
new green land 
miles away 
new places, old faces 
that all look the same 
  
new girl 
making friends 
with red pandas and anacondas 
we were so different 
then 
  
high school girl 
my friends melt away 
leave me alone 
the old hurts return 
  
college woman, college woman 
where are you going? 
back to where you began 
old places, new faces 
is this your home?
