Two Faces

by Tessy   Jun 8, 2008


Coming into a world with many cultures
Following the American way
Trying to get rid of my own
With my mother pushing my buttons
Not accepting who I have become

Going in to a new world, a new family
Loving the way they live
Forgetting who I was and where I have come from
Falling in love with someone who is not my own
Something my parents never approved of

My love, not understanding me
Making me let go of my past
Then being reunited with a lost friend
Brings me closer to my culture

Marrying this close friend, and lover
Helps me see that this culture has its own beauty
And how the world is not perfect
Making me accept me, for who I am
