III. To be us
March 14, 2025 at 5:31 AM
To be us is terribly fun:
Us - fearless and decisive,
With inability to give up,
Us, looking on problems derisive.
With all of this silly jokes,
And endless amount of stories.
We’re so indecently proud,
In love with our roots’ glory.
To be us is pretty enjoyable -
We fair, and madly honest.
We’re direct, we ask if we want,
We have dreams, which we turn into goals.
But sometimes, it can be hard -
We grew up unacceptably early,
We never blame people for anything,
Even we know they deserve it.
To be us is painfully scary -
We’ve lost everything more than once.
We present ourselves through the positive,
Simple prism - to hide our scars.
But even with tears in the eyes
We’ll still complete integrations.
We didn’t choose to be us:
Us - children of immigration.
