Who I Am


Who am I?

I am me of course

The little asian american girl

The one with one lazy looking eye on the right

And just an eye on the left

Hash tag no makeup and uncurlable hair

The little asian american girl

Forever never getting a tan

Always having the appearance of a seventeen year old or younger

The real me is not seventeen or twelve

The little asian american girl

With real painted nails that could leave a mark

A one inch stitch mark that won't disappear

Quiet as a mouse, awkward as an empty classroom

The little asian american girl

Flexible, long hair, geography lover

Skinny, not so strong, anime freak

Not vietnamese, not chinese, nor thai

The little asian american girl

That is surely me
