Found two poems that were hiding in the dredges of my schoolwork so yay this book is alive now

~~~

Hard to say

When you're born in a place

That might as well be at war

With your parents' homeland


In yourself

When the words fill your ear

Stories of national brainwashing are hard to hear

But harder still when the victims are people you've met


When we fall

When the bomb gets dropped

When we crash in the path of total devastation

Would my friends cheer for my death?


Midnight fears

Memories of 1944

When the Japanese were locked away for their brethren's crimes

Would the same happen here? Now?


Will we be blamed

Should we be blamed

When we don't know where to stand?

~~~

Aka: the identity crisis of a second-generation immigrant :D
