Born This Way

Born This Way

A Poem by Frankie Nguyen

I was born this way
Born of two different worlds
From America and the Islands of the Philippines
Born with darker skin
No more than 5ft2
Hair dark as night
Dark eyes that shine
Born a dancer and an artist
Born headstrong and determined
Born bisexual and proud
Raised to be strong
Raised to be brave
Raised by my father
Raised to hold my head up high
I'm beautiful in my own way
I was born this way

You sound like a good person to me. I like the positive words and description of a strong person. Each of us are many things. Heritage is important. We need to understand where we came from. A very strong ending to a outstanding poem. Thank you.
