I asked myself a question

孩子长大的标志
不再问  我从哪里来
不再说  我要到哪里去

永无止境

没错，这孩子离长大的路还很远啊！

莲步青云

I asked myself a question
--What is the date today?
I counted my fingers and bit my lip
--It is 27th of January.
Then, I asked myself another question
--How many days have passed in my life?
I counted my fingers and bit my lip
--Two hands were not enough
I was stupefied

I asked myself a question
--What is my name?
I wrinkled my brow and bit my lip
--Priscilla, I presumed, if it were not changed by other people
Then, I asked myself another question
--Who am I?
I wrinkled my brow and bit my lip
Nobody.
I was terrified.

I asked myself a question
--Where do I come from?
I rapped my forehead and bit my lip
--A cradle at home
Then, I asked myself another question
--Where shall I go?
I rapped my forehead and bit my lip
Doom or tomb?
I was petrified.

I asked myself a question
I was scared to answer it.
