To whom is reading this at the moment, I know nothing of who you are, Please note that I know none of the struggles you have endured, And yet we're placed in this scenario, A piece of writing has connected two individuals and much more... Therefore I ask of you… as an author to it’s reader May you take in every word that is placed on this paper? Will you promise to place yourself under the tears of another? Not for eternity- just for this piece if you must- As we travel in depth through a world that is hidden beyond the public: Sweet child, do not worry, you’re fine where you are, Lay in the fields, I’ll band up the scars, Our voices were silent, Our voices were mute, We struggled to leave, We did this for you. We’ll take all the damage, Protect you at all cost, My dear sweet daughter, Please gain what I’ve Lost A voice who gives too often The receiver who’d taken too much Shield your eyes from the judgments, Or you might base your life on such, A social construct of which we thrive A laughable case indeed For my dear sweet child please take my words Don't hesitate to take the lead. To feel like an outcast is one thing, To live through it all is another, Our families are bonded through many forms, Remember we have each other, Across the seas hold the same blood as us, It's a crazy thought, I know, Yet we live in a different country from them, We're here so they all can grow, Take all the poison we've been given, We'll construct a remedy, From one life to another, We’re bound to break free, We’re captured in a box, Swallowed by separation, So much potential has arisen, Don't ever fall into hesitation Keep one thing in mind, A final message I have my dear- A symbol you shall hold with pride, Those stitches that you’ve earned there Show that you’ve gained what I've lost…. Hailei Faith M. '22 (BHSEC Queens)
