道歉

Apology

我的脸颊抄袭父亲
我的胃疼抄袭母亲
我的第一封情书，抄袭星空的孤独
第一次用指头牵你的手
抄袭鸟儿出壳，轻柔的
那一下磕碰
对不起，我必须道歉
原谅我活得没有尊严
我活着，每天抄袭你们的活
我死时
也不得不复制别人
完全用过的方式，去死
			

My cheeks copied from my father
My stomach pain copied from my mother
My first love letter, copied from the loneliness of the starry sky
The first time I held your hand with my fingertips
Copied the bird out of its shell, gently
That bump
I'm sorry, I must apologize
Forgive me for living without dignity
I live and copy your lives every day
When I die
I will have to copy others
And die in the exact same way that others did
