Asian Daughter

In the clash of East and West,
I, the first daughter, did my best.
Childhood trials, unseen and deep,
With parents proud, but distant, I weep.

Mother's words cut like a knife,
No comfort found in my young life.
Schoolyard taunts and inner pain,
Seeking worth, yet finding disdain.

In adulthood's quest, scars remain,
But from those ashes, strength I gain.
