I am an immigrant, but also a GROWING teenager
By EunJung | From : Clifton Park, NY | School : Shenendehowa H.S.I am a passionable Korean who LOVES my cultures
Just cute sixteen turning to seventeen in hot July
I am here to experience new world in new year!
My IDEAS, My THOUGHTS… scared to express!
How you feel in this unknown island?
There is only one person who find out something
Something that no one has had before
I am studying NEW language
Knowing is different than understanding and accepting
Living in this selfish world, who really care of you?
Everyone spend hard time on being familiar
I was so excited to come here
My dad told me that I could go
Unfortunately, I was losing my interests in
I was not happy but still expect a lot
Before I came to the BIG APPLE
I went to the west coast
It was really hot and cool!
I thought it would be similar
It was NOT
It was more friendly
People who I know and meet
think younger would quickly learn more
I think differently
I am a just person and learner
I am not a younger
Just younger in my family
Every words you described yourself
That would not delivered to another well
Your language from none
We all have different memories
It’s your own cultures and thoughts of
something you learn your way
STRESSFUL and HURTFUL
Being upset and depressed
NOT EASY
no one really understand
in this self-center world
Stand up and walk into the somewhere
Somewhere you feel free
Do whatever I want to do
That is another world.
And this is the ANOTHER world.
I am tired of being here
But I will make it through
I will expand my land, my mind, and my story
Hey! I am here! I am a JUST person!
Just special immigrant
who you can see everywhere
who will overcome well
Could it be happened? Already failed few
When does I wake up for against this?
Where may I find mine?
What’s REAL? Who’s me?
Confused Frustrated Exhausted
All the same time Can’t miss my sting!
Wanna be CLEAR
Like taking all of speeches
including anger, desperation, evil
I can’t, Too overthinking, Too caring
Help me ?! Help me ?!
I don’t want to say
Cause I am here with none
No one understand me
My IDEAS My THOUGHTS
Even I don’t know how to describe
Who can be?
Don’t tell that you do
You actually don’t
Or I can’t accept maybe
I am an immigrant, but also a GROWING teenager
for a bright and unclouded FUTURE
Should be independent person
Means I must stand up with my two legs!
Means I must have respect and responsibility
Means I NEVER want to be
