The Filipino in Me - Insights into Living Heritage
Entry by Kehrl Meeno Reyes. Edmonton, Alberta.
THIS IS
This is how I speak
Confident in my mother-tongue
Shaking empathy in another
Yet my truths deliver
This is how I dress up
Comfortable as I grow
Approachable;
Maybe I can tell you more.
This is how I accept
I stay despite being afraid
This is how I forgive
I do my best to forget.
This is how I love
Generous and pure
Same feeling as the beautiful sunsets
There as long as you will
This is how I am
Grateful of how you are
How we both partake
in how we are together.
