Where my Heart Belongs
By Eduardo | From : Cape Verde | School : Boston International Newcomers AcademyWhere my heart belongs
I am from a lost culture and languages.
I am from good vibes and bodas.
I am from happiness to sadness.
I am from the smell of grass
and the moooo and meeeeeehhh.
I am from smell of funge in the afternoon.
I am from loud talking and laughing.
I am from Kalandula Falls.
I am from the palanca negra gigante
the giant sable antelope.
I am from corrupt leaders.
I am from uneducated people.
I am from excellent music.
I am from the East Coast.
I am from superstitious people.
I am from a difficult place to survive.
I am from Luanda.
Present
Myself
Today I am a quiet being but a loud one.
I am a house guy who can’t cook.
I am dumb guy but a genius pro gamer.
I love exercise and sports but hate to work too much.
I am a peaceful person but love playing brutal games.
I like to listen to people.
I am always in my world, silent and loud, calm and chaotic.
I am always listening to music because it helps me to relax.
I am always relaxing because my surroundings can make music.
I am the one looking at the window because I like the view of things in movement.
I am the one playing with the pets because they are always nicer than people.
Future
Dear Eduardo,
Take care of my dog and cat.
They will probably be very good friends.
I hope you’re enjoying the new routine and liking your vantablack BMW.
I would love to know how you are doing
with your friends from your old school and
your jobs, wildlife biologist and a computer engineer.
I hope you’re enjoying your pool every single Saturday.
I hope you’re happy with the family you built, if you’re lucky you just have two children,
a boy and a girl and your cat and dog.
And you just enjoy the feeling after giving your mom and grandma a house.
