Being Asian
We as Asian children,
never look into their eyes,
saying I love you twice,
never cuddle nor kiss likewise,
but we love them always, like the sunrise.
We as Asian kids,
taking their words as hints,
learning from the experience they did,
living with their expectations.
All their concerns and words of wisdom,
are the reason we lit,
to give our best hit.
as how they gave up the rest,
to make our childhood, our life, the best.
​
We as Asian youths,
being treated strict and well-polished,
always being nagged to be well-mannered and civilized,
but as we grow, things get rewarding,
we got better and friendlier treats.
They told us to just be happy,
and no longer interfere with our decision making.
Dear Mom and Dad,
I care you as much as I can,
and I hope that you are always in good health.
Waiting for my success,
giving you the pride that you never seek for,
because you deserve it.
I will always love you, I will never lie,
from the day I was born until the day I die.
