     "Litva..."

The words feel foreign,

And strange on my tongue.

"I don't like it."

One strike, 2 strikes,

All for expressing an opinion.

How utterly strange is that?

"BESPOLEZNYY!"

Oh how those words

Are uttered with as much

Anger in them as

A bear to a human, having

Stolen its cub.

Why, oh why, Mama,

Is it normal to separate?

Living creatures from

Their families?

"Ya Litva."

This phrase has

Lost its aura of discomfort.

It's second nature now.

"As... How to say again?"

I find myself wondering more and more.

Have I forgot my home?

"Vy stali odnim. YA tak gorzhus', moya litva."

It is so utterly strange how those words,

In that language, can sound so kind and welcome.

"As essu lietuva!"

I have finally remembered, but I wonder relentlessly,

"Why, oh why, mama, have I almost forgotten my Identity?"
