I am from the recordings

From lyrics and microphones

I am from a small house with red roof

From a beautiful neighborhood

Calm and Colorful

Feeling cool like the ocean breeze.

I am from the pink and white Spring trees,

The colorful Autumn leaves

Showing Appreciation and the End.

I’m from the weekly barbeques and vacations

From “Did you eat yet” and “See you next week”

I’m from going to not going anymore,

I’m from the big apple and Korea too

Noodles and Rice

From moving to New York to study music and meeting a boy in class, friends for now but, years later married.

The gallery that holds our memories

I am from the melody that brings you sadness and joy, that makes you feel something, that brings you life.

I take a breath and cut a line through my delusion

I am paranoia

I was in bloom

I’m not anyone suspicious

I’m just a delinquent who made the wrong choice

The answer I’ve seeked is on the other side of the rainbow

I am the avatar of mortality

I’m going to listen to the music of the heavens

Do you think you could ever compare?

Up, down, right, left, sideways, at the end of the day it’s goodbye baby

Throbbing, aching, pulsating, gasping

These are the symptoms of 2Dimensional Dream Fever

A tight patched uniform

I can’t sleep, it’s 2 am

Paranoia confusion

It makes the idiots high

I’m the one with symptoms

So why are you screaming?

I swear, I can’t understand you

“Mom, I’m scared. There’s demons. God, please forgive me for sinning.”

Is what any sane person would say

It hurts, it hurts, please wait a moment!

Forget about it, please just forget about it

I only hold the knowledge of twenty two and one

I am paranoia

“Is there any good in this world?” I ask my turpsy tovy self

Inside myself, beside myself, my other self, insides turned inside out

Feel free to fall in love

Expand your cerebrum

Burst out from the strong taste

Life sized deception

Making them join forcefully

Stinging in the retina

Now you can fall in love

I miss you, you,

no, no, not.

From the moon and the stars

I am from the Comic books

From the adventures I have with the characters that distract me from the world

From Ramen noodles

I am from the roses

The prickly thorns

I am from the tamales on Christmas and being loud

I am from the Tonita And Milly and Eunice

I am from the singing and the dancing

From being “obedient” and “helping others”

I’m from The church in New York City

I am from LIJ in Queens Pizza and mac & cheese

From arguing with my brother to forgetting about what we were arguing about

I am from the reading at night

I am from a book

from backpacks and dusty shelf's

I am from a room

lively and peaceful, designed in your imagination

I am from the garden

Whose fruits taste of sweat and hard work

I am from Red bags

From David and Alan

And from being awkward and kind from generosity

I am from caring and forgetful parents

From “Good morning” to “Goodnight”

I am from Saint Joan and Saint Peter

I am from Woodside Queens

White rice and fish

from the story of my grandpa and dad fishing on the seaside

And my sister with the neat hair going to the city

I am from Queens, New York, Little Neck

And I love sleeping

From coming to America only to realize the harsh reality that the “American dream” will just stay a “dream” since you can’t escape from the bottom of this food chain when you are just a minority

Scrolling through my phone to find memories of past vacations

Photo albums in different sizes carrying bits of my family’s pasts

I am from trying to balance my life in the outside world while struggling with the world that nooobdy else can see
