Long Road Ahead

I count the days of each season of Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn.

It reminds me of the maple tree that changes its colorful hues of green, red, orange and yellow.

It is a long road ahead, but still, I tread on with anticipation of undiscovered places of wonder.

Each step forward, there are roadblocks and detours that I must take.

Why do I take such a path, you might ask?

I want to travel to a destination that I could call my own sanctuary.

A special place that I seek, that surrounds me with green pastures and blue lakes undisturbed by humans.

It is a long road ahead, but still, I tread on with hope and kindness to this earth.

With Or Without You

So many times, I ask myself, “Why do I love you?”

I love you, for all the things you were then and now.

I love you, for all the good and bad.

I love you, when you were young and even now older.

I love you, when you are here and even when you are not.

I love you, for all the wonders of life you taught me.

I love you, for your empathetic nature and your gentle smile.

I love you, for all the sacrifices that made me the woman I am today.

With or without you here, I still love you.

I love you mom, because you are my forever superhero.

I Am Not Perfect

I Am Not Perfect

 I am here.

See the real me inside.

An Asian American girl that matured through the looking glass of this chaotic society.

I ask not to be judged by the color of my skin, my hair, my eyes, or even the shape of my body.

I ask to be treated with respect and dignity as a human being.

I am full of optimism and love for life.

I am not perfect.

Look inside my soul.

You shall find a woman that has survived bias, discrimination, betrayal, and heartbreak.

I cry many times in the dark with my lonely tears of disappointment.

Still, I rise each time.

I come back as strong-willed, relentless, and with perseverance to face society again.

I am not perfect.

Who Am I?

Who am I?

I am “me, myself and I”.

These three form a bond that is hidden inside.

Sometimes they are invisible to others, but still a part of who I am.

The “me” is the cognitive and emotional intelligence.

The “myself” is the heart that has unlimited wants and desires.

The “I” is the ego that seeks praise and rewards.

Who am I?

I am a human being that  exists on this earth to find a purpose and happiness.
