Un-difficult


It's hard to live as an immigrant i heard.
Racism, oppression, stereotype I heard.
East-Asians are Chinese with fair skin I heard.
Asians are book smart and nerds I heard.
No, no, no, no, no, nope!
Always remember,
You can find ways to justify yourself.
To prove that you are way more than that,
To prove that you are not like that.
Immigrant, 
Find friends that speaks the same language,
Find food that are from your country,
Find place that feels like home,
Refuse to accept new
No, no, no,
You
Should do something unfamiliar,
Try American food,
Make English friends,
Go visit a museum.
I, 
Am Vivian Kwong.
From Hong Kong;
Not good in math but good in art.
