Some poem.
The professor for Women in Philippine Literature asked all of us to write a poem about ourselves. It is supposed to tell people who hate us or do not understand us who were really are. It is also a way for us to explain ourselves in hopes that people around us understand why we are what we are. Although I believe that a person does not have to explain why he or she is the way he or she is, I just did the assignment anyway. I was pretty please with how it turned out. A warning though! Some things may be exaggerated just because I like it that way.
You
Yes, you
Talking to you about me
Asking please let me be
Crazy ideas to you they may seem
But to me I am just living out dreams
Walking through markets taking pictures of vendors
Inhaling smoke while passing out liquor
You
Yes, you
Talking to you about me
Asking please open your eyes to see
Rainbow colored hair does not mean I am a rebel
Nor am I trying with authorities to wrestle
So please get out those wrong impressions
Because this is all about expression!
You
Yes, you
Talking to you about me
Asking please hear me!
I can understand your language but very little can I speak
You treat me like a bitch that is your technique
My tongue is used to english
In your eyes I have diminished
You
Yes, you
Talking to you about me
Asking please accept my faith in thee
I do not have any religion
Yet was raised believing in the God who is hidden
Living out my faith in my own way
No, I am not going astray
You
Yes, you
Talking to you about me
Asking please, please let me be
