MY ROOTS

I come from an array of diverse ethnicities

The Chamorro side is salty, sassy, and strong

The Filipino side deals with sinigang and accents

The Chinese side is one that’s inexplicable

The Vietnamese side is one that gives me pride

I’m like pancake batter

Mix Chamorro, Filipino, Chinese, Vietnamese, and bam there’s me!

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE:  This poem is about my culture. I hope more people will learn to embrace their identity, no matter the race, religion, or social class. Remember that YOU ARE LOVED!
