Salila's Journal (Songs of the Silent)

[Salila Kapur]

I am unwritten,
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Dear Journal,
I hate it here already, and I miss Manith. Oh course, my father wouldn't send me to an American school, he still kept me away from my true love. I hate him some days. And my mother said absolutely nothing about it. I am mad at her too. Oh well, I guess I am stuck here.
