An old poem for depressed TCKs
Haha just dug this poem out. Wrote it when I was younger and more depressed…LOL this is a rather pessimistic point of view but blah, it reflects reality somewhat. P.S. I was pretty young when I wrote this, so if it sux…well actually I fixed it up a bit just now…so it doesnt suck as much as it did LOL. but anyways. (it’s called voyageuse cuz French is the only language I know with female tense for like every noun…sorry but I am a girl and go to a feminist all girl school…so I called it voyageuse…no hard feelings LOL)
Voyageuse
She loves them all,
She travels far away,
“We have no home,
She hears them call,
She is addicted,
She’s bound to drop.
Local Chinese schooled, Local North American public schooled, All girl schooled, boarding schooled, private schooled, international schooled, IGCSE/British schooled, religious schooled, art schooled, AP schooled. Never homeschooled. Although I've only lived in two countries...It felt like 8 at least. LOL. One of the rarer ppl who developed reli deep relationship with all people and places cisited. Weird? yah, it's like ppl believe that if u have one boyfrd for a long time, ur serious. If you have many boyfriend, you are a player and the most insincere creature in the world. Sometimes it feels like being TCK is being accused of being players for life. I would just like to say that is NOT true. In fact, it's totally possible to be serious about my love for everyone and every place, you just need to believe in that capacity and go with it. My greatest challenge as TCK is being accused as emotionally deficient, cold hearted and selfish. In fact it's exactly because I love everyone and everything too much that it seems like I don't love anyone or anything at all. GOAL: prove to the world that love for all is in fact within human's capacity.

I love this. But this part hit me most:
“We have no home,
All over the world we roam.
Native tongue she has none,
Freedom she wants ton”
Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
